tagged together in 112 photos best + jeet Day 5: Woke up early and enjoyed coffee on the porch... Nice to see these two laughing despite going through a tough time. I love this photo! <3. My sister from another mister. Jared saw this photo and said "I look like a guy who hangs out in the parking lot and deals weed to the high school kids in my hometown." lol ...busted out the inversion table! Hahaha. So good. Pennsylvania Lakehouse Owners! Congrats, you two! Important window conference with all the ladies. Early morning hang with these ladies I love in Quinn's very cool "pillow room." We did a little pre-gaming at my place... Cool to wander around on the lot and see some of Jim Henson's creatures. <3 ...to celebrate Gurj's birthday! Thanks for having us all over and cooking for us! To Ellen & Hans! Congrats! ...the women all sneaked upstairs to tuck Matt into bed! Later in the evening I went to La Palapa party room to celebrate Karen's birthday! Friend portrait. First the ladies... ...and a box of GOODIES! Later that evening, I walked over to Hans & Ellen's in the East Village for a big holiday feast! Check out the table spread! She'd gotten some last minute tix through work. Gurj came over a little after midnight, and in contrast to our asleep-on the-couch by midnight Saturday night a few weeks ago... FAM! Thanks for inviting us all out, Quinn! It was really fun getting to see Gurj dance with her mom. Hahahah. ....getting our wedding party photos on... Congrats, Gurjeet & Jared! I love you both so much! Hahahaha. So good. Such buddies. ...but she woke up when she heard me giggling. Haha. So proud! On our way up. Left over pizza for breakfast! ...and a whole roomful of people he knew yelled SURPRISE! SUPER HANS! GURJ IS 30! Gurj was scandalized! Hahaha. OMFG, Quinn, Karen, Gurj and Sarah came in one of the best GROUP COSTUMES I've ever seen: the In Living Color FLY GIRLS . Ahahahahahah. That makes Meredith Sexy Fire Marshall Bill? ...score some cookies! I went to go see the movie 50/50 and Mer and Gurj went to Irving Plaza to visit Ellen at a Third Eye Blind DVD shoot. (No, seriously!) These gents took good care of me. Haha. Marveling at nature while Meredith drew us pictures! Gurj and I peeped ourselves some new roadside headgear while we were gassing up. Behind every good man... HAHAHA. ...HERE! ...so much! Awesome. Admiring glam shots on the way home. ...Mike and Tanya's brand new apartment that they'd just moved into a few weeks prior! Quite the exclusive birthday lunch. ...we'd made it to the (almost totally empty) parking lot. We'd made such good time on the way down that we had plenty of time to set up my camera to try to catch shots of us jumping in the air using the auto-timer. Haha. We met up at the coffee shop below my apartment and headed out to pick up our rental car. Happy birthday, Gurj! Ellen doing the Happy Snoopy! Auto-timer to get myself in! When I commission a Gurjeet statue, it will be in THIS pose! Hahaha. Make a wish! Box o' birthday cupcakes! Gurj is a barrel-exploding JEDI! Gurj crashed on our couch. Here's us all bundled up to hustle to the subway. ...we went over to the West Village... Here we go! (PS - Jared's expression in this photo makes me laugh so hard). Later that evening, we went out to visit Gurj and Jared in Queens and hand-painted signs to cheer Ellen on in during the marathon tomorrow! All packed up and ready to head home! Thanks again to Jenny for suggesting the trip and organizing the weekend! Attempt #1! Finally got it in shot # 3! And a jump shot! Rose horse. Later that afternoon, the seven of us loaded ourselves into the family van we'd rented for the weekend... Pretty wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning. Look at us having breakfast together just like normal people. Hahaha. ...but then their eyes would snap open and we'd all have to pretend that we weren't just taking sneaky sleepy photos! BUSTED! Hahaha. This makes me so happy. Beachjeet sunset edition. All-star jump cast. Three photos in under 30 seconds! Class portrait. Family version. CONGRATULATIONS, JENNY & JOSH! I love when Jenny does tee-hee-hee. All the ladies. Group jump shot in the parking lot. Take 1. Gurj, Mer and Quinn. On the walk over, we stopped to admire her Hollywood Hair. I love this photo of Gurj beckoning me to try her Belini...OF DREAMS! Team 3: Gurj, Matt and Meredith went with a JERSEY SHORE theme. Here's Snooki (complete with Boof), The Situation (complete with THE Situation) and JWoww complete with no pants!. AMAZING. This group photo makes me so happy. Hahaha. ...and handed them out so we could kick the night off with a festive streamer explosion! More Rockband! Happy Wholesome Bachelorette Party! Oh man, this photo makes me laugh every single time I look at it. It's got everything. We got off the A train at Canal Street and walked across town to Vegetarian Dim Sum House . This place is incredible. Even if you're not a vegetarian, I encourage you to check it out. (C'mon, it's not like you even know what's usually in them anyway, right?) I love this pic. Us about to dig into our Fried-tastic Feast! I busted out the auto-timer and captured this great photo of us waiting on the platform for the subway. Take Four is my favorite! Everyone's doing their own thing. Take Three! Meredith got tangled up in her cape. Haha. Take Two. Total FAIL. But check out Gurj almost perfectly miming her exact pose and expression as the first take! ....obligatory photos of everyone jumping at the beach! Yay! Take One: Gurj, Scott and Amanda have amazing form in this pic. Sarah, however, failed to achieve lift off. I immediately hopped on my bike and arrived in the midst of a Fran & Gurj duet. (Love this photo!) Here's a picture of Gurj eating indoor-grilled chicken in sunglasses and a candy-bra. NBD. Meredith out of nowhere: CANDY BRA NOM NOM NOM ! Hahaha. I love Gurj's expression in this photo so much. It's totally due to the fact that Meredith is FULL ON cupping her entire right boob and it makes me LOL every time I look at it.
