Doug Visits Town

Not much of a narrative here - my good friend Doug (who had been living in Prague for a few years) moved back to the States and was down visiting NYC from Boston. We rallied at my house and then headed out to Misshapes for a night of acting stupid.

doug, fatty — Doug and Fatty posing on my weird new couch.

amy k, meredith — Meredith and Amy dorking away on the interweb.

amy k — Fishface Amy.

doug — After a few drinks (and oh, about 25 cartridges of Polaroid film that I managed to snag for free) we headed over to Misshapes where Doug defended his territory with the Miagi crane-kick.

caitlin, me — We ran into Caitlin who had some silly-ass eye make-up on...

...but baby-girl's got a caboose like nothing you've ever seen so we all let it slide.

amy k, doug, emily — Amy, Doug and MLE.

meredith — Meanwhile, Meredith was getting fresh and frisky with her friend Shelley in the corner.

meredith — Hahaha. Check out schlemo in the background waving a fistfulla bills.

emily, fatty, me — Sweet Maria!

meredith — Homeboy in the background has now but his money away so concentrate better at getting his leer on.

emily, fatty — All this fooling around was making Fatty feel amorous.

emily, fatty — But Emily wasn't having any of that.

amy k, caitlin — Hahaha. Best pic ever.

meredith, sarah — Sarah and Meredith copping a feel up Karen's thigh.

me, sarah — Why does Sarah look so put out?

me, sarah — Oh, maybe it's because I'm double cupping her boobies.

sarah — Even Karen can't keep her hands off those things.

greg the boyfriend, sarah — Sarah looks cute while Greg does the creepiest impression of a lizard I've ever seen.

leigh, michael — Leigh and Michael skulking in the corner.

Karen shows off some of her hickey handiwork.

michael — Careful my friend - get too close and your neck will look like it got into a fight with a pool cue.

geordon — Geordon.

brother lawrence — Me absolutely nailing Brother Lawrence with a flawlessly executed "get a load of this fugging guy."

meredith — Meredith shows off her hot pink bra while Amy does a little arm tastin.

leigh — Awwww, close up of the Tins.

amy k, ryan mcginley — Ryan and Amy hitting the dance floor.

Karen tasting my shirt.

greg the boyfriend, meredith — Greg and Meredith.

elliot — Elliot (from The Five O'Clock Heroes) and his friend.

elliot — Taking a page from Slash's book. Noice.

geordon, me — Gay boys like me.

amy k, meredith — Meredith and Amy.

leigh, me — I'm not sure I handed my camera over to at this point but as you'll be able to see over the next few pics, they managed to grab some clutch snaps. I didn't even know I was capable of making a face like this. (Check out Leigh in the background losing her shit. Hahaha).

me, meredith — Sometimes you gotta just spread the cheeks and get in there.

Know what I'm saying? (The best part of this photo is Meredith holding onto Sarah's hand like she needs some support).

ryan mcginley — Oliver, Ryan and some other guy.

Me covering my nips. (Trying to keep it PG, I mean kids read this site).

ryan mcginley — Ryan making faces at himself.

geordon, leigh — Geordon and Leigh.

ryan mcginley — "I don't care if you're hiding a dragon in your shirt, you're still gonna get some hot-dog-in-the-bun action on the dancefloor."

me, ryan mcginley — Me and schweaty Ryan.

meredith, sarah — Sarah and Meredith.

Goodnight.

Sunday, August 22nd

sarah — The next morning I met up with Sarah...

fatty, grant — Fatty and Grant for brunch at Clinton Street bakery. (Where Grant modeled his new German-soldier-from-the-future hairdo. Ubertastic!

doug — Later that night I hung out with Doug. We walked around town and somehow managed to end up at White Castle where Doug reminded me to...

doug — ...Chilly out, yo.

me, sarah — Later that night we ended up at Sarah's apartment (where I made another AWESOME face).

catrinel, meredith — We sat around shooting the shit and drinking beers and somewhere along the way our lil' gathering turned into a...

sarah — ...hulahoop party! Wait, huh?

leigh — Most people who see Leigh out and about in NYC think she's all hoity toity and too cool for school. But if you've ever actually hung out with her, you'd know that she's just a kinda shy and when you get her all alone, she's a big nerd. Don't believe me?

leigh — Well maybe these pictures of her hula-hooping - blindfolded, no less - (mmmmm..show off) will change your mind.

leigh — You don't even want to know about the whole "impression of a dog biting water coming out of a hose" while hulahooping blindfolded bit.

leigh — Here's a close-up. Bonus points for having the glasses over the blindfold.

catrinel — Meredith and Cat looking on in amazement.

catrinel — Then it was Cat's turn.

catrinel — She all tried to do a diva pose and dropped the hoop.

doug — Doug wondering why he came all the way down from Boston to hang out with the likes of us.

catrinel — Cat working it on out with Thighmaster.

meredith — After hulahooping, Meredith's idea was to mess up our hair and see if we could make it look like it happened because someone scared us...

meredith — Success!

leigh, meredith — On the walk home I realized that Meredith and Leigh's yellow and red hoodies made them look like they were playing "Mustard" and "Ketchup" in a 2nd Grade musical about the lunchroom.

leigh, meredith — Mustard & Ketchup! Mustard & Ketchup!
