The walls in the entrance to Cynthia's building have this weird 3d pattern and look like a ship from Star Trek. Nerds.

After the lecture, we walked around the museum to check out some of the installations. A guide to the mudras.

Friday morning I stopped by David and Miye's for coffee (David's in the background demonstrating his "I'm down wit' black people" hand gestures. That's "Soooo money!" which is an expression David told me "the blacks" are keen on saying).

After the show we ran into Vin on the street...

Once that party was in full swing, I decided it was time to unveil my new Spring Collection 2004.

Top-button, velour shirt, the stylist's own; skull n' bones concert -tee, Piebald ($10); white canvas belt, some Chinee lady on Canal Street ($1). Champagne flute crammed down front of pants for effect.

Here's Stephanie's shot of me with "the new guy."

Later that evening, I got a call from Laura Sosin (aka "Special Sos") who you might remember from the last time I went out to visit LA. We agreed to meet up at a party that the LA Weekly was throwing to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. Here's Sos with two friends who names I've since forgotten. (Sorry, as soon as I talk to Laura I'll come back and fill them in!)

The only question I have is how did we not get beat up? Look at us.

ESS-EX! C'mon where my nig-noggz at?

ESS-EX! Ladies lemme hear you now!

...ESSEX! That's right! We were heading out to Grant's parent's house in Essex to hang with his family and so he could show us around Corringham, the town he spend his formative years in.

After dinner we headed to some god-awful outdoor Newport nightclub that was on the water.

Saturday morning, I met up with Laura (aka - Special Sos) and her new man Tavis (who is a rad graphic designer) for breakfast. Afterwards, we went back to the hotel, met up with Kate and hung out at the pool for most of the day.

Afterwards, we all headed over to Opaline where we ran into...Amanda!

After Iggy's, Bev and Matt left and Emily and I popped into Pianos, but it was pretty gay so we left. (But not before some hipster kid put his "mesh hat" down on the bar and when he turned around, we swiped it and ran out the door.) We immediately took turns trying it on seeing who...
gang signs
Special thanks to my main man Matty Matt for keeping the music going all night. (Yo, this kid's been spinning records at our house parties since all the way back in 1997!)

Laura lives in LA, but she's actually a friggin' Canuck! Here she is repping Toronto with what is clearly a ML (maple leaf) gangsign.

After Matty's joint, we all headed back downtown to close the night out at DoubleHappiness. Sarah and I trying to look hard.

Grant and Tiff took like 15 pictures trying to be as tough as Sarah and I...this is the closest they came. Eh, not bad.

Sarah & me.

...while Grant keeps it fo' real fo' tha Bloods.

Yeah, so those are pretty much the only good pics I have from the Mermaid Parade this year. I told you it wasn't nearly as good as last year's. Later that evening, a bunch of us headed out to Greenpoint to check out a loftparty in my old building. Dave and I represent on the Cripp tip...
gang signs
Can you pick out what's different here? Yep, that's right. Only one person is wearing a blue shirt. (From L to R: Lil' Buddy, Tall Stranger that was trying to be "money" like Vince Vaughn, Chris, Grant, and Grant's crazy friend Alyssa who came back to my place and tried to cheat on her boyfriend with me. Crazy, crazy, cuh-razy.

My faux gang signs are getting better and better.

The hair dryers that we got to play with at Beauty Bar made the walk well worth it.
