...and Satanism / Mötley Crüe. Hahahah. (We would've outnumbered Team: Jew but Katie was out in Minnesota spending the holidays with her family).
grant + me
...while us non-Jews repped across the table for anarchy...
grant + me
Our decoration complete, we put my camera up on Fatty's mantle, set the auto-timer and snapped this pic.
grant + me
How 'bout now? (PS - Hey Grizz, check out the pink-faced Asian dude in the witch hat trying to sneak a look at your luggage!)
grant + me
Hahaha. Do you think we're sexy?
grant + me
...moustaches! Hahaha. Every single time I look at Grant's expression in this pic I actually laugh out loud. (And now that I'm looking again, I guess my silky, blonde moustache is pretty sweet as well).
grant + me
Here's Grant and I waiting on the corner of Delancey and Bowery for Siege to come off the JMZ (if you don't live in NYC, that's a subway). Grant and I decided that the best way to keep Siege occupied for an hour and give him some birthday loving would be to take him to...
grant + me
Reunited with my old roomie Victoria!
grant + me
On Wednesday afternoon Grant and I met up with his Uncle and Aunt that were in town from Norway. (Uncle Phil is Grant's dad's brother).
grant + me
Seith (in town visiting from Boston..wooo!) me and Grizz.
grant + me
Who's my best friend? Awwww.
grant + me
As much as we love each other, we had to break our embrace before the countdown ended.
grant + me
...to hop the L train to Williamsburg where we ran into...
grant + me
We left the party and headed back to Beford to catch the subway. Check out this "off to see the Wizard" shot that either Katie or Siege managed to snap. Hahaha.
grant + me
No, you're the man now, dawg!

(I think Meredith had the winning comment for this photo when she said "Who looks like a moring-after tranny hooker in this photo? Nope, sorry Grant. That's not the correct answer." Hahaha.)
grant + me
Grant and company decided to get "glammed" up for the first show. By the second show, they'd decided to call it quits with the make up. Mostly because I think Grant realized that when he's made up he looks like a tranny-version of his super-hot (Lindsay Lohan lookalike) sister, Gemma.
grant + me
Here's what Grant thinks of me. Hahah.
grant + me
Mad props to Meredith for managing to keep her cool while being sandwiched between two ha-ha-hunks in man-kinis. I don't know how she did it.
grant + me
Who's that lucky foggy lady in the middle?
grant + me
Scotch in the hot tub? Who's more 1978 than us?
grant + me
Here are the fruits of his labor though. Well worth the wait!
grant + me
Results: Inconclusive.
grant + me
Me, Meredith and Grant all dressed up for dinner.
grant + me
Meredith took some nice photos. And then took some pictures of Grant...
grant + me
And grabbed a coupla beers at Lakeside Lounge.
grant + me
...we walked back into Manhattan from Siege and Katie's via the Billyburg Bridge.
grant + me
Friday night we took it easy. Beers at Blue & Gold...
grant + me
Me and Tha Grizza.

A little after 2am, we came back into Manhattan and I was reunited with this guy! Hahahaha.

Speaking of fuckers, here's Grant and me. I met this fucker working at Nerve back in the summer of 2001 and aside from his short-lived stint out in LA, we've been inseparable ever since. Here's me making a face and trying my best to pretend I wasn't going to miss the shit outta him. (Awwww.)
last night in nyc

(Grizza, you have any idea what we sang?)
grant + me
Late night (and noticably drunk at this point) Grant and I sang a duet.
grant + me
I was so hot and sweaty that I actually snuck into my room and changed out of Black T-shirt Number 3 and into Blue T-shirt Number 7. (Yeah, right - like I have seven shirts!)
grant + me
Awwwww! Thanks so much guys! You are the best friends ever. (Sorry I moved back so soon!). I started to put my gifts away and they were all like "No, no, no. After all the time we spent rounding that stuff up, you're wearing it at the party, CALIFORNIA BOY!"
grant + me
Grant was digging it, though. And speaking of transformations, when did Grant transform into...
grant + me
...then met up with Grant in the East Village for some sushi.
grant + me
And funnel cake.
grant + me
Me, Amy and Grant (who's more tan than him?).
grant + me
Here's our dancefloor reaction to James dropping Van Halen's Panama.
grant + me
Grant repaying half of his nipple-licking karmic-debt.
grant + me
Sarah D, Grant, me and Tiff.
grant + me
Say, wha? Hahah.
grant + me
After I mastered being a DJ, I headed back over to my apartment to meet up with Grant. And do a little pre-party warm up drinking. Full Story: Remember how we went to Iceland? Well, we ended up buying a bunch of bottles of this stuff called Brennivan - which means "Black Death" in Icelandic. Anyway, only after we'd bought a bunch of bottles of it did we learn that it tastes like it's made out of Band-Aids and pine needles. Not wanting to throw it away, I decided that anytime someone's over my house and we're going on, everyone present has to do a jigger of Brennivan before leaving. So here's Grant and I about to take our obligatory medicine. *sputter*
grant + me
Before I'd even gotten a chance to put my point on the dancefloor and prove it, Leigh hand-delivered a fistfulla scotch.
grant + me
But before getting on that early morning D train, I met up with Grizza and headed deep into the heart of Chinatown for a daring dim sum breakfast. I mean, if you're going to be spending all day in the heat, you should make sure your first meal has plenty of vitamin C(at).
grant + me
Sorry, Larson. Shortly after Larson's song, I was called up and handed my camera off to Grant so he could take some pics of me. Instead, Grant spent the entire time using my camera to...
grant + me
Down in the basement we met up with Josh.
grant + me
Around 11ish, we headed over to the Delancey to meet up with Meredith and check out her friend's band...
grant + me
After a few knocks, it was clear that no one was going to answer. We figured that maybe everyone was out on the balcony deck with DLR and they couldn't hear us. We decided to head up to the roof and see if we'd be able to get a vantage point of the party from there.
grant + me
Grant, the Fatty and me. We made it up to Sarah's rooftop just in time to catch the start of...
grant + me
Tins, me and Grant.
grant + me
We took this picture of us both speaking with her and assured her that it'd eventually be posted on the site. So here's a big shout out to Grammy Pam! (Here's a pic of her from when we were in London last year! She's the one immediately to Grant's left!)
grant + me
Despite only getting a few hours of sleep, we managed to pick up the van and be heading beachward before noon. Here's me, Meredith, Grant, Rachel and David and Miye in the back! Rented van, wooooooo!
grant + me
This shot's practically an ad for Pabst.
grant + me
Hahaha. Yep, that's definitely a Bon Jovi face.
grant + me
I made the mistake of falling asleep and got royally brained by Grant (who gets extra points for braining me while also "showing stem." Steep.)
grant + me
Here's Siege (aka - Clayton James Cubitt) the Grizza and me in our rental car leaving the city.
grant + me
Siege reviewing the night's less-than-spectacular results while I try to make Blue Steel faces.
grant + me
Fatty half-heartedly rocked out in the backseat...
grant + me
Fatty and I were tired so we stopped at a bodega for some weird, bullet shaped energy drinks. There were only two can left...
grant + me
Grant, Jamie Kirkpatrick and me.
grant + me
Saturday night I met up with Vin and Mandy and after hanging out in Lit's sketch basement, we decided to head over and check out Misshapes.
grant + me
And there were no girls anywhere in sight. We killed our free Rolling Rocks and promptly got the fuck out of there.
grant + me
Here's the Grizza and I all gussied up headed out to Strong Island in our rental car.
grant + me
But then we realized that we're living in the golden years and everything was coo-day-la.
grant + me
This picture was taken for posterity's sake - just so there'd be a photo record of what Amy looked like...
grant + me
...invite the three of us to share the stage with him.
grant + me
And then late night, I met up with Amber and Grant at M Bar for a night of Sid and Buddy Karaoke! Woo! The moment we walked in the door we were handed shots - compliments of...
grant + me
After we were done watching Fatty writhe suggestively in a manner that recalled Tawny Kittain in a Whitesnake video, the three us of walked down to Mandarin Court for a Chinee dim sum breakfast celebration.
grant + me
Then, somehow, we all ended up getting really, really drunk.
grant + me
Even after our gratuitious procrastination (read: SHREDDING) in the guitar shop, we still beat the U-Haul to new apartment.
grant + me
Grant gives David the classic "Get a load of this clown" point.
grant + me
Grant says goodbye to the two girls partially responsible for Grant spending $20 earlier on in the night. So much awesome.
grant + me
Me, David K, Grizza and Chris the Greek.
grant + me
Awwww, what's cuter than this? Reunited and it feels so good...
grant + me
Caitlin looks for a lil' manwich action.
grant + me
If you talked to any person from each of our respective high schools they wouldn't believe that these days girls actually let us touch them (Hell, Siege even gets paid to take pictures of him touching them!) If someone had managed to harness our combined adolescent sexual angst, we could've powered New York City for several days.
grant + me
After making sure our breath was nice and spicy, we headed one block east to Remote Lounge for the "Welcome Back Grant Karaoke Spectacular!"
grant + me
Grant, Grant's lil' hat, Chris, Frank and me.
grant + me
"Yes, three beers. Oh, and the lady will have a glass of Merlot." Bwahaha.
grant + me
Here's the dramatic hi-five that led to the night's anthem, Thin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back in Town.
grant + me
Here's Grant sending me off. Goodbye California!
grant + me
Grant and I with Harlan Martin! (Best picture ever).
grant + me
Me and Grant dishing some double-lovin' to the lovely Jen Ehrman.
grant + me
Here's Steve, Grant and myself posing for a pic (which was really just an excuse to try to cop a feel of the faux-Britney's vinyl-clad arse).
grant + me
After I'd finished documenting our facial hair, we headed back to the house, showered (and I shaved, thank god), packed up and hit the road to head back down to Los Angeles (to attend the surprise birthday party that Jordana had put together for him. Shhhh!).
grant + me
But eventually we won them over with our cityboy charms
grant + me
One of the ranch hands was kind enough to give our saddle-sore cityslicker asses a lift back from the stable to the house (saving us the embarrasment of a bowlegged walk of pain home).
grant + me
Yay.
grant + me
Bee Gee Cowboy.

After food we went back to the ranch and relaxed. Then later that night we drove to the nearest theater (like 45 minutes away) to see the midnight showing of the third installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. (Bonus points to Grant for flipping the bird while pulling a Pomodoro Guy face! Noice!).

After a restful night of sleep at Uncle Ira's, we woke on Monday to do some quick exploring of San Fran before starting the four and a half hour drive out to the ranch in North Fork.
grant + me
Hahaha. So funny. Clockwise from the Grizza: Fatty, Jamye, Al, me and Uncle Ira.
grant + me
Here's Grant and I in Ira's kitchen. We were all crabby from our drive and if I remember correctly were pretty much ready to fight each other (I'd SOOOO win) when this mutual "get a load of this fuggin' guy" photo was taken.
grant + me
After getting settled in at Uncle Ira's, we all headed to downtown SF to meet up with some friends (my friend Alysha, Jamie Waxman, who we know from NYC, and one of Jordana's good friends from school) and have some Thai food.
grant + me
After brunch, Grant and I met up with Pappa Ross and took Dash for a stroll down the the boardwalk at Santa Monica (I think).

Friday night the three of us went out to The Short Stop in West Hollywood Echo Park...
grant + me
Me, Mr. and Mrs. Jamie Kijowski and Grizza.
grant + me
With one final pic of the fantasic four, we said goodbye to Grant (who was staying behind in London for another couple of days) and....
grant + me
With our time together disappering almost as fast as our delicious french fries, Grant gives me a "Be brave with out me" thumbs up.
