balloons — Jolie, Jack and Pappa John (just to give you an idea of scale, John is 6'3").

balloons — When I went downstairs to make a pee pee I found Geordon telling Leigh about his new balloon ("His name is Steve.")

balloons — Greg Dot K, Audrey and Geordon (holding the loneliest, gayest, lavenderest balloon ever).

balloons — With a jam-packed crowd awaiting...

balloons — ...except for (a platinum blonde???) James Iha being here.

balloons — I got to Rothko and it was all crazy prom-decorated with pastel balloons everywhere. It looked almost exactly like my prom...

balloons — Matt Lesser the Hairdresser.

balloons — Amber (looking like a Disney character again, except this time: not so cute) and Kat.

balloons — Aya and Vin.

balloons — Almost! See the little piece of balloon over towards the right edge of the photo? Neat, right?

balloons — Fyuko, Vin and Aya.
