drunk
...clearly the LBJ (that's the Little Baby Jesus to you) had heard our prayers and made this drunk girl pass out on the pavement right outside of the party so we could document my last evening in town with some apropo fanfare! (Thanks for looking out for us, Big Guy).
drunk
But Emily wasn't having any of that.
drunk
Birthday girl closing out the night with the second to last song.
drunk
Neil (who, just so you know, is the current Nugget Eating Champ of the World) leans in to check out to what degree the guy is passed out. Verdict: Out Fucking Cold.
drunk
Ok, ok. I'm sure all of you have probably seen all these photos already either on the Misshapes site or back when it appeared in Vice, but for any of you who may not have see it, here's the story: I was texting with Dennis Crowley's little brother Jonathan on Saturday night and I invited him and his buddy Neil to Misshapes. They showed up late night and after vetoing the too-packed dance floor upstairs, we decided to hang in the back room downstairs where we discovered this sleeping prince.
drunk
Jonathan went for ye olde white ass in the face.
drunk
Sticking to tradition, J.Cro and I started going head to head to see who could take the best (read: most embarrassing) picture.
drunk
Awwww! Whoever said that champagne would help your headache is a liar! Happy Birthday Tins!
drunk
...NEON CHARIOT of military might! We all sang songs...
drunk
After screaming along incoherently into an extra mic during the first half of this couple's duet, homeboy in the green shirt finally managed to wrangle away Shef's mic and hide it on him. Unfazed, Shef decided to make up for his lack of mic by just singing even louder for the remainder of their song.
drunk
Scott offered him a smoke (he heard that helps with jaundice).
drunk
And then Rebecca offered a kiss. And then Grant, bless his heart, offered him the best thing you can offer a drunk, passed out person...
drunk
...someone that passed out! Yes!
drunk
FLYING BRAIN!
drunk
...his nutsack! Wooo! Let's hear it for the return of Wally Weirdnuts!
drunk
The guy was so drunk he couldn't even tell us his name. Sarah thought he was cute and kept suggesting that she take him back to her place. Hahahaha. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!
drunk
In the end, I ended up fishing his wallet out of his pants and looking up his name and address (if memory serves correctly, I think his name was Brice or something like that). Here's Tinny holding his phone to his ear as we took turns calling people in his phone trying to get someone who knew him to confirm his address so we could put him in a cab. (In the end, we were never able to confirm where he lived so we sat him down outside with a bottle of water and went back inside. When I came out an hour later, he was passed out and had pissed his pants and we ended up calling the cops who sent an ambulance for him. Doh!) Anybody know who this guy is?
drunk
Later that evening, I was standing next to the DJ booth chatting with Sarah when all of a sudden a guy standing next to me full-on passed out while standing up and went down like a bag o' bricks. The bouncer summoned me to help him carry the guy outside and somewhere in the process of trying to lift him up, his pants came down exposing...
drunk
...his (kiwi!) underwear.
drunk
Karen (enjoying the nameplate from her cake) and her roommate Bridgette - who had just turned up from a comedy show she performs in.
drunk
Another high-schooler who's been partying out of his league.
drunk
Meanwhile, over in the DJ booth...
drunk
Gay boy kissing a girl! Gay boy kissing a girl!
drunk
...Leigh was attacking Geordon.
drunk
...chilling on the pavement.
drunk
"Rad! Hey, let's try to see if he can throw up with me in the picture!" Now that's a lady.
drunk
Just taking a little nappy nap.
drunk
Before we left, Leigh made sure she invited Dave to Misshapes - because, in her words "he just seems like our kind of people."
drunk
We waited through another few minutes of gagging and gurgling, but there was still no "big payoff" like before.
drunk
That little puddle you see isn't puke, it's actually just saliva (ok, maybe a little puke). This kid was putting his whole frigging hand down his throat and nothing was coming up. If he ever decides to give up his career as a binge drinker, there's clearly a place for him in gay porn.
drunk
"Ok, ready?"
drunk
When I went outside to look for Vin, I ran into these two guys (I forget their names, but I have an email from him somewhere that I can dig up and I'll put them in there when I find it). The guy on the right was really drunk and said that he needed to throw up, but couldn't. I suggested he try putting his fingers down his throat and "pull his trigger." He was like "Ok, I'll try it. Get your camera ready." (Like I needed to be told, right?)
drunk
"GO!" Look at his hand! Oh, wait you can't - the whole thing's in his mouth.
drunk
Ewwww.
drunk
Fatty and Miriam. Right around this point in the night - they turned the music off. Yep, we closed out three different Boston establishments.
drunk
Well, um, it's not. Grant managed about 3 spins before he lost his balance and sent Amber careening into the stage. (Which, because I knew was coming, I was able to masterfully capture with my camera).
drunk
And hey, no book party would be complete without a fifteen-person grand finale version of Bohemian Rhapsody.
drunk
But that's ok, I think this photo pretty much says the same thing anyway..
drunk
And then Jen took here shirt off? (I don't even remember what was going on here. I was too busy praying that my batteries wouldn't die before things got more interesting).
drunk
Bwa-ahahahaha. Drunk people in hammock = Disaster always.
drunk
Add a little Liz to tha mix and the next thing you know...
drunk
Oh, snap. The Fatty getting his New Year's smooch on.
drunk
Fatty and Jen were being all nawdy with each other.
drunk
The Trouble Twins strike again.
drunk
A cute drunk girl will only go unnoticed for so long before some enterprising young lad will sneak in there....
drunk
And then suddenly, the shots got the better of Leila and she started getting all fresh with Ed - tugging at his luggage and whatnot (The momentary look on confusion on Ed's face as he tried to figure out if she kidding around or not quickly turned to indifference as he realized "Hey, either way some cute chick's tugging at my carrot.") Then, just as Leila was about to give Ed some full-on mouth kissing, Chira shut things down with a strategically placed hand.
drunk
As people started passing out all around us, we decided it was probalby best to pack it up and call it a night. We'd made it through the night without anyone even trying to pick a fight and figured it'd be best to quit while we were ahead.
drunk
Dani and the Fatty (who, by the looks of this photo, has had a few drinks).
drunk
Here's Steve, Charlene, Chris, Dani, Grant and the Fatty out on near the dancefloor and visibly liquored up at this point.
drunk
Throwing down for the cam.
drunk
The less photogenic he becomes. This one is definitely not J. Date material.
drunk
The thing is, the drunker he get and the more pictures he takes. . .
drunk
When Fatty has had a little too much too drink, he starts taking self portraits.
drunk
And concentrated on not puking all over the platform while I waited for the train. Oooof.
drunk
Grant wasted no time moving in with his nuts.
drunk
That's right! It means it's time to play "FUCK WITH THE DRUNK GUY!" Emily kicked it off with a lil' boob showing.
drunk
So Bellybutton Jewelry Girl went to the bathroom, and while she was gone, her boyfriend passed out...we all know what that means!!!
drunk
So it was around this time that we noticed these two (aka - "The Greatest Couple in the World."). He was completely shit-hammered; to the point where his head was all bobbing around like we was on a fucking wagonride on a cobblestone street. And she (as if her matching aqua skirt-outfit wasn't enough) had the biggest belly button jewelry thing I've ever seen. I mean look at that thing - it's like the J-Lo engagement ring of bellybuttons. Anyway, she was really drunk and kept heckling people in between songs, yelling that it was her turn already....we'll get back to these guys later.
drunk
While we were standing around shooting the shit with Tracy, all of a sudden this girl busted out onto the dance floor with the strap from her giant "fashion purse" pulled over her face and just started freaking the fuck out. After watching her do her thing (maybe it was performance art?) for a few minutes, we decided it was time to head out.
drunk
Shortly after, Viola and her crew took off (probably becaues the likes of us were getting let into the place). Grant ordered another steep G&T in preparation for the much more difficult task of trying the same lines on girls that he's never lived with.

Me eating the ice cream I got at 7 Eleven. Look at my fucking wonky eyes! This was the drunkest I'd been in years. Oooof.

When Frank started dancing on the bar, we knew it was time to head home.

But we weren't ready to go home just yet...we stopped at 7Eleven to stock up on treats. Aw yeah, Bert.

But man oh, man. My drunk-as-fuck face has got nothing on Fatty's drunk face. Check out his eyes! Hahahaha.

Then the bartender, Frank, Colin and Seth sang the theme song to "The Jeffersons" (movin' on up...) in four-part harmony.

So somewhere around this time, I started spitting on my friends. Well, more like spitting on my hand and throwing it at them. I don't know, it seemed funny at the time. Needless to say, people weren't happy with me. After realizing that I'd been an asshole, I apologized and Seth opened his arms for a hug. Little did I know, it was a set up: while I was hugging Seth, Grant snuck up behind me and poured his beer down my shirt (while Fatty, privy to the plan, waited in the wings with the camera. Bastards).

Seth was kind enough to offer me a sip of his water as a chaser. Only after a I swallowed did I realize his "water" was actually a glass of vodka with just a little bit of ice. A real prince among men, I tell ya.

...put them down. Hoo-ah. *Blech* *Gurgle* *Sputter* Check out Jagermeister suddenly transforming me into Dobby from Harry Potter. Jesus.

We headed out to some restaurant on the water of dinner and some drinks. Yay, drinks!
drunk
Tavis holds back an increasingly beligerent Special Sos in the elevator on the way up to the pool. Hahaha.
drunk
The roof pool was closed, and not even the smoothest of negotiations from the ladies ("What if we swim naked...and we let you watch?") could convince the staff up there otherwise. So we headed back down to my room, for more drinking...
drunk
...and an acrobatics show.

What sums up how the world feels about boner-guy better than my man's face in the yellow shirt? Exactly. (By the way, check out his fucking shiny, tinfoil-looking shirt. A-hole.)
drunk
We sang some songs and Jen got really drunk. I mean, really, really drunk. Check out that expression! (Holy best pic ever, right?)
drunk
...who were clearly wasted outta their tits already when we showed up.
drunk
Ummm....yeah.
drunk
Jack Wright finds himself on the business end of two-girl head-scratch.
drunk
...complete with shirtless-man action! (Now that's a par-tay!)
drunk
Making new friends through the universal language of music.
drunk
Back at the party Emma started tying one on...

Is there anything worse than getting so drunk that you can only incoherrently babble? Apparently, yes. It's when your friends pretend to engage you in conversation just so they can make fun of how drunk you are to the camera.
drunk
Check out Josh pulling the best "drunk grumpy face" since he passed out standing up against a wall while waiting in line for the bathroom this past Halloween.

Tiff and yet another C&V. Ooomph.

Tiff was ploughing through cranberry & vodkas like nobody's bidness.
drunk
Here's Alex being propped up on the dancefloor Weekend At Bernie's style. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
drunk
So a few minutes after Alex made out with Noah, we noticed him hanging around Lisa - yet another intern. *gasp*
drunk
Bwa-hahahaha! Here's Grant surreptitiously giving Alex the ol' "Get a Load of This Guy" face for the cam. (Bonus points to the guy over Grant's right shoulder laying down the double-ironic "Who does this guy think he is making fun of that other guy" face. Ha!)
drunk
Well, the titty grab not only awoke Alex, apparently it also excited him. Uh-oh!
drunk
And then the next thing you know he's quasi-passed out (check out the open mouth - noice!) on Nerve intern Noa, who tried to resuscitate him with a firm grab of his titty.
drunk
Tah-tah-toasted!
drunk
And then the next thing you know...*BWA-HA-HA!* Alex M: Makeout Bandit!
drunk
Oh yeah! Action shot!
drunk
03.17.03 Update: I had to remove Alex's last name off the page because, just as I predicted, some of our clients started Googling his name and when this very page came up as the first result in that search, they were, in Alex's words "not overly impressed by what they found." Hehehe.

This is Alex. Alex is normally a pretty quiet guy - throw a few drinks into the mix (ok, in Alex's defense the bar was handing out four-finger deep tumbler glasses filled with straight vodka) and the next thing you know he's throwing down Jodeci faces for the cam.
drunk
...you're crosstown on the Bowery splattering your own shoes with vomit.
drunk
But Frank said it best: "That's life." You just gotta pick yourself up and get back in the race.
drunk
...er, sort of. Upon closer examination I realized that he while he was holding a cigarette and even putting it in his mouth and puffing purposely, he wasn't inhaling any of the smoke. When I teased him, he goes "I've never smoked a cigarette in my life."
drunk
Grant and Sarah.
drunk
Me: "Oh, really? Why don't you try inhaling?"
Grant, drunkenly: "Ok!"
drunk
I call this photo "Birthday Boy, 5:42am." If you listen very carefully while looking at this picture, you can actually hear him groaning. (PS - Is that a velour shirt you're wearing, Scott?)
