I need some weird party conversation. Preferably weird hipster party conversation. Definitely not geekfest party conversation and way definitely not weird screenwriter party conversation.

So, here's the contest! Please leave your weirdest / most memorable party conversation in the comments, or if it's too embarrassing, email it to me. If I use it, I'll send you a signed copy of your choice of my books. Or name a character after you. Your choice.

Way too geeky. The characters are people who actually go out at night!

I'll try not to take that the wrong way. :(

Okay we need more info - genre, setting/location, age, status, class, race, etc. of said hipster partiers.

So we are talking weird designer drugs, getting hooked up and who is banging whom. Isn't this just the same conversation the high school cheersquad has but with trendy words and in designer clothes?

My kid's at college. She knows I stay up late so I regularly get one-a.m. phonecalls for information to resolve some point of argument.

I can hear the party going on in the background and I'm obviously being rolled out as the Court of Last Resort when debating positions have become entrenched.

The most recent one was over the exact wording of the Green Lantern Oath.

Earlier calls have been on whether the Monkees came before the Beatles (these are kids for whom it's all history) and whether a husky can have a straight tail and still be a husky.

I find this a major source of amusement and inspiration...

Let's try this again, with a Blogger ID that's current and active:

Actually happened:

Her: You should come to my singles party.
Me: I'm kind of married.
Her: Well, bring some single friends with you.
Me: What about (name of someone we both know)? He's single.
Her (laughing): No. The men at my party have to make at least $70,000 a year.

Guy checks his calendar, then:

"I have to see a Portuguese Goth-Metal band that night."

Two women talking:

A: It's his magazine. If he wants to run it into the ground...
B: Exactly. If you just want to publish for people with PhD's...
A: He's a great writer, though.
B: He's young, he's smart, he has his own level of arrogance. But he's good.
