The Chindo Nation @ Mama san's


Okay, so here's the thing, sometimes you know exactly what you are getting into, and sometimes you take a leap of faith. I'm generally one who looks at the situation and if I like my chances I give it a shot! Well, tonight I considered the chance were good that I would have some fun, and get to try something new, and maybe meet an interesting person. The food and the company were good, in fact the food was really great, and I can't wait to try more of the menu, but that's MamaSan's, it really is worth it's reputation. The Chindo Nation (minus a few faces) got together to jabber and jaw, and toss back some chow, and we were joined by none other than that cradle-robbing, size-queen Lilly! Yes indeed, in person she is very cool. I suspected as much, just because I know that she is intelligent, and she has a spine, so I truly expected nothing less than good company, and I was pleasantly surprised that she is model Gorgeous as well!

Have you ever met someone and you knew that in a different life you could probably be the best of friends, just because you can understand them in a way that most people probably can't? Not everyone will feel the same way about the same person, and there are those who will never be able to have a meeting of the minds with each other. Then there are people who seem to smack each other in the forehead because they see eye to eye on so many subjects. Somewhere along the line you realize that it feels like sharing a brain. Yeah, I only know one person like that, and I haven't met anyone like it recently, but I did enjoy actually talking with Lilly, and listening to some of her stories. Yes, she is way younger than me, but so what? She has great experience so far to pull from, and I can see that she will go far. Anyone who has been a long time listener of Wease knows that he has a knack of picking people who will go on to great things, and Lilly is no exception!

On the radio, she plays a role, she is the foil to Wease and Jamie, but she is also a cheerleader when she has to be. I like that about her, and as much as I bitch about it, I also like the fact that she plays the curmudgeon role as well, she has to piss on stuff too, and she does it well. There is so much more to her that the radio audience has yet to learn, and if they are willing to stick around for the ride, I think that they will be truly surprised by what they find. I always suspected that there was a lot more than what I was hearing and I am very happy to know that I was right! Truly a good human hidden behind the character, and I'm glad to say that I had the chance to share her company for a while. I hope that someday in the future I will turn on the TV and point out that I had dinner with her once at MamaSan's in Rochester NY!
Cashman and Pattycakes, plus the company of the Husband and son of Patty. Toss Lilly in for the picture and you have a great night of interesting food and great conversation! It should be a regular thing!
