A Random Night at Lit

A random Wednesday night at Lit somehow turned into a veritable photo orgy for two.

Lawrence (Sarah's Brother!) and Sarah picked me up Wednesday night at my place and we all headed out to North Six in Williamsburg to see...

...Franz Ferdinand. Oh sure, like you'd heard of them back in January.

After the show, I went to Lit to meet up with Amber and Vin. I got there around 2:30am and between the cold weather and the late hour, the place was practically empty.

Afterwards, we headed downstairs and found it even emptier than upstairs. I had my fancy camera with me from the Franz show, so I busted it out and started taking pictures of Vin and Amber.

Awwww, cutest photo ever.

And it wasn't long before I started egging them on to pose with unsuspecting strangers (not an easy thing to pull off when there are only like 3 people in the whole bar).

It was so dead downstairs that Stephanie and the other bartender (sorry, I forget your name) were just sitting around shooting the shit.

So when I busted out my camera, they were only too happy to get involved in our "let's take stupid pictures" game.

Here's me flashing a little blue steel.

Amber had the camera for these, here she is telling us to give her "sexy."

In the meantime, Vin and Amber had consumer a few more drinks and were starting to get a little...how you say?

Check out Vin's "I'm getting my nipples carressed" face. So awesome.

You know how some people are totally egged on by the presence of a camera?

Well, um, Amber's clearly one of those people.

If you look at the first pic, you'll see Vin's making the "Ahh! What are you doing to me?" face - but in the second one he's caught on and is smiling. Sooo funny.

So at this point, it's a little before 4am and technically the place should be closing, but we're all having fun and a new DJ comes on and starts tearing it up and we said to ourselves "Hey, it's not all that often that you have a dancefloor all yourself..."

And so our three-person dance party began.

Take note: Dancing while taking pictures results in artsy photos.

Then Amber dragged a bartender out to come join our party.

And hey, remember this guy? So he's sort of been sitting on the side watching our dance party and when Amber asked him if he wanted to dance he said "How about we all smoke a jay instead?" And busted out this big, brown, gorilla finger of a joint.

I'm not a big fan of pot, but once in a blue moon, like in the middle of an impromptu afterhours dance party, it's just what the docta ordered. (PS - Look at everones' faces in this pic. So great).

Ten minutes later and Vin and Amber are back on the dancefloor both doing the "white man's overbite."

Vin and Amber weren't up for braving the late-night trek back to their place so we all somehow managed to navigate back to my place. Check out Vin holding his head. Hahaha.
