| my DINE experience, by T.Whid  |
the report:
We caught a cab from Shane's place in the E.Village around 9:00pm,arriving at the Gug. at apx. 9:20pm. After a quick cigarette outside, weentered the museum.
As is our habit we took the elevator to the top floor to work ourway down. We scanned the crowd on the rotunda floor from the seventh floorlooking for Dine, no sign of him.
We breezed past most of the work on the way down in anticipatioonof reaching the rotunda floor, we figured Dine would be there, drinkingwine and eating snacks. We were also hungry, so the snack tables were callingus as well.
Bumping into my friend Ester Yun, as we approached the rotunda floor,we spoke.
"I'm really drunk," she said "we've been here since,like seven, and *hic* i've been drinkin' lots of wine."
I congratulated her on her inebriation and greeted the rest of herparty.
"Hey, have you guys seen Dine?" I inquired.
"Yea, he was here earlier," Gig said "hanging outat the bar, talking to Wally Shawn, the actor."
"Really, have you seen him lately?"
"Naw, I haven't seen him for a couple of hours"
It was at this point that i realized that we had arrived to late.But i kept my eyes open while we enjoyed the complimentary wine and TerraChips®.
