One Messy Weekend

Friday and Saturday consisted of two solid nights of drinking and being out way too late. Here's the two evenings that led to me waking up dead sick on Sunday. Blarg.

Friday Night

Bar #1 - Remote Lounge, 12:30am: Nerve is throwing a party here in late February so a bunch of the Nerve crew met up here to check out their digs. Rufus' friend was promoting the place and told us a secret word that made all drinks a "two for one" special. Nice!

jack w — Jack Wright's brother Tommy (the bald one) came into town with two of his mates from Scotland. And just so you know, they're not hugging, they're holding Jack up.

lorelei, me — Drunk, puckery me and Lo.

me, melissa k, vin — Bar #2 - Pioneer Bar, 1:41am: After leaving the Nerve crew, Vin and I busted down the Bowery to meet up with my friend (and Oxygen Media prospective client, boo-yah!) Melissa K...(who prefers I not use her last name on this page) was already well into the bag when we caught up with her.

melissa k — Let's get this party started right! (I think this is my absolute favorite picture of Melissa!)

me, melissa k — Now, Melissa is such a smoove mama that this cute bird in the middle here was totally trying to convince Melissa to go home with her and make out with her! (Let the record show that Melissa, was in fact, not down.)

vin — So I'm talking in the corner with one of Melissa's friends and all of a sudden I look over and see Vin chatting this bird up wit da quickness. I thought he had something cooking...

...but it turned out the girl (albeit cute) was butt-ass wasted and was talking to everyone! Doh!

me, vin — Straight-up cold lampin'

jack w, tookie — Bar #3 - 7B, 2:47am: Okay, after dropping Melissa off (regrettably, alone...she opted not to make-out with that girl) we headed over to 7B to see if the Nerve crew was still kicking up any life and we found this. Jesus.

jack w, tookie — I love how Tookie cute and girlie Tookie looks in this photo snuggling up to Jack.

jack w, tookie — Hahaha.

Goodnight, fair prince!

matt lesser, me — Bar #4 - Cherry Tavern, 3:04am: Looking to end the night on a high-note, we headed over to our old haunt to see who we could find. Sure enough, we ran into Christian, Kate and Matt Lesser the Hairdresser and proceeded to close the mutha out: Tijuana Special Style....ouch.

Saturday Night:

So on Saturday afternoon, Vin gets a call from this German guy Ralf who's a photographer that we met at our friend Chris' 4th of July party. Ralf showed up to Chris' party with all these hot model chicks and I guess Vin was like "Yo, who are all those girls?" and Ralf was like (in thick German accent) "They are my girls. If you want, when I have pahty, I will call you and invite you to pahty and you can meet these girls und more." Vin was like "Yeah, okay dude." 9 months and 7 days later, Ralf called and invited us to his housewarming pahty.

Me, some girl and Rolf (who's beyond being a rad photographer, is the nicest guy ever).

chris a, claudia, vin — Chris, our new friend Claudia, and my main man Vinay.

claudia, me — Me and Claudia.

claudia, me — Turns out, Ralf had the same digital camera as me and he showed me all these features I didn't know it had...like this picture taken with the "Ambient Light" setting that masterfully captured a ghost slapping Claudia's ass!
