Goodbye, Billyburg

On the eve before moving out of Brooklyn for good, I headed out with some friends to Rosemary's Greenpoint Tavern (which isn't even in Greenpoint!).

Grant, Beck, Josh, Vin (you can only see his brown hands in this pic) and Dave all hold on to 32oz of domestic love.

Hugs turned to slow dancing.

Oh yeah.

If Vin ever asks to see my camera, chances are it's because there's girl who either has her panties showing or just has a dope-ass badonkadonk butt...and either way, Vin's going to make sure he gets a picture of it.

Turns out, this spectacular heine belonged to (dreamgirl) Heidi.

Dave G (The Ladies' Choice) has got to get with the program! He's all in the background making his "Party Guy Face" when we clearly told him that it was a "Blue Steel" moment.

So I'm all out on the dance floor cutting some rug and suddenly I notice the dancefloor part like the Red Sea and this sauc,y little minx saunters her way over to me and says, "Say-hey motherfucker, we gonna dance or what?"

This is Frances. She works at Rosemary's. She's 64 years old and still can shake her thang. God bless her little heart.

After warming up the front, Mommy moved the party around back. Damn!

Check out my hand on her bald, little head as I shake it down! This is probably the second greatest photo on my website...

...only because this photo is the greatest. Look at who's large and in charge at the back of the caboose. Frances in the muthafucking hizzouse, you know what I'm sayin?
