Saturday Night Out

We started out at Emma's friend's book release party in the East Village...

The book party was off to a bit of a slow start so Grant, Emma and I went across the street to grab a quick bite to eat at Stingy Lulu's. (Oh, and ever since that night at the Hole, Grant's found that he really likes to kick the night off with a piping mug of "hot cock.")

Stingy Lulu's has these cross-dressing lounge singers that jump all over the place and harrass the shit outta all the people trying to eat. But yo, check out her face - is that some scary Planet of the Apes shit or what?

EarlyTimes inhibits rational behavior almost as well as it strips paint from cars.

At around 2am, we cut out of the party and headed down to Piano's to meet up with a buncha people.

So check it out: we're at Pianos and all of these people are rushing around whispering "Heidi Klum's here! Heidi Klum's here!"So Michael and I (keep in mind were hopped up EarlyTimes style) decidedthat we'd track her down and get a pic with her for this site. So we're looking all over the place and finally we go into the backroom downstairs (where it's really dark), and we see this blonde sitting against the wall with a guy.

Michael (squinting): "Hey, is that her?"
Me (swaying): "Ummm, I don't think so."
Michael: "Yeah, me either."
Me: "We should get a pic of her anyway."

Look at her face in the background - we were trying to be discrete but I think she was onto us.

By the time we got back upstairs, Tara managed to spill a drink all over herself. Remeber kids, always sip your fresh drink before you start dancing.
