Nerve and Spring Streets' Holiday Party

Nerve & Spring Street meant to throw a holiday party in December, but for some reason it kept getting canceled and never happened. But because we had a bunch of cases of vodka at the offices (left over from a film premiere party) we decided to invite a bunch of people over to a bar in the East Village to drink for free and get rowdy. The results were very similar to the the last time our companies tried something like this.

The pics below were compiled from multiple cameras (mostly to ensure maximum coverage of embarrassing moments). Mad props to Stefan, Ganesh and Keith for letting me use some of their pics!

Early evening at Pierot. The free booze was flowing like mud at this point so a few us told the bartenter to just keep putting shots of vodka on the bar and we started passing them out throughout the party. Things go ugly quick.

alisa, grant, lorelei, me, tookie — From L to R: Lorelie, Tookie, Alisa, Grant and me

michael martin, virginia — Keith, Virgina and (the rarely captured on film) Michael Martin.

matty matt — Matty Matty pumped the phresh jizzams "All Night, All Night Lah-ah-ong."

alex m, alisa — After months of a phone-sex-only relationship, Comedy Central's own Steve finally meets Spring Street's wunderkind, Alex M. (I had to remove Alex's last name - keep reading - all will be revealed).

eric g, peter m — You may remember these two from the last company party we had. In fact, Eric's drunken antics proved to be so tremendous, that they merited their own sub-section within the entry. Eric and Peter took it easy this party and stepped aside to let Alex M. step up to the plate for his five minutes of Internet fame. Ladies and Gentleman (and future employers of Alex who will no doubt discover this during their obligatory, pre-hire, Google-snooping) it is with great pleasure that I present to you:

..::drumroll please::..

The Alex M. Section

alex m, tookie — 03.17.03 Update: I had to remove Alex's last name off the page because, just as I predicted, some of our clients started Googling his name and when this very page came up as the first result in that search, they were, in Alex's words "not overly impressed by what they found." Hehehe.

This is Alex. Alex is normally a pretty quiet guy - throw a few drinks into the mix (ok, in Alex's defense the bar was handing out four-finger deep tumbler glasses filled with straight vodka) and the next thing you know he's throwing down Jodeci faces for the cam.

alex m, lux — And then the next thing you know he's quasi-passed out (check out the open mouth - noice!) on Nerve intern Noa, who tried to resuscitate him with a firm grab of his titty.

alex m, grant, timmy — Bwa-hahahaha! Here's Grant surreptitiously giving Alex the ol' "Get a Load of This Guy" face for the cam. (Bonus points to the guy over Grant's right shoulder laying down the double-ironic "Who does this guy think he is making fun of that other guy" face. Ha!)

alex m — So a few minutes after Alex made out with Noah, we noticed him hanging around Lisa - yet another intern. *gasp*

hikma — We interrupt the Alex M. Section for a picture of Hikma's reaction to "Alex M: Makeout Bandit."

Here's Alex being propped up on the dancefloor *Weekend At Bernie's* style. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Here's my reaction shot with Lisa after she had finished lip-wrassling with Mr. M.

This concludes

Albert's friend Abbey gives the cam a gratuitous booby shot.

alisa, emma — Not about to be upstaged by a non-employee, Alisa and Emma whipped out their boobies and repped for Nerve.

jenny e — And then Jenny Lim comes through for Spring Street by blowing the competition out of the water with this clutch bum shot. Boo-yah!

colin, fatty, grant, me — Thumbs up from the boys!

jen crowe, mark bibbins — Jen Crowe and Bibbins.

grant, lorelei, me — Grant licks Lorelei's hair while I try to make the "I can't believe Alex made out with half of our interns" expression go away.

grant, sarah d, tiffany — Grant coldpimps with Tiff & Sunny-D who were in the hoodie and popped in.

david f — David Forman stopped by late in the evening with his brand new GIRLFRIEND!!! Whom he met on the Nerve Personals! (C'mon...where else?)

pud, sarah d — Philip (giving a pretty awesome "Thumbs Up!" face) and Sarah.

alisa, mark bibbins, me, peter m, rufus — Haha. Rufus, Bibbins, Ayvee Deebee, Peter and me.

david f, rufus — Sometimes you just gotta dance! Rufus does the watusi while Dave get shizzy in the background.

david f, ramit — Uh-oh, more makeout! David and Ramit smooching in the corner?

rufus — "What? A raise? Why don't you just drink your free vodka and go fuck yourself." See you next year!
