a person in 612 photos karen Group jump shot in the parking lot. Take 1. ...and then ran into the hallway to ambush the birthday girl! Happy birthday, Karen! We made it to Quinn's parents' house a little after ten. After a quick snack, Quinn took those of us that had just arrived on a grand tour! ...waiting for Matt and Karen to pick us up! Good times. (Insert your own bone-related joke here) These two'll do anything to get backstage. Everyone do "fusion" on the count of three! Mark, Karen and me. Perfect for dipping your feet and cooling off! ...to say hi to Sarah, Mike and Karen who were there DJ/molesting. Make a wish! Happy birthday, Gurj! Oh yeah, free Bloody Marys too. Feeling it. Speaking of virginity, then we all played Rockband. Food coma recovery back at our apartment. Old time barber chair! Afterwards, we went next door to The Smith for a big brunch! Awesome. On Monday night Karen, Sarah, Ellen, Mer and I went to the Comedy Cellar because Ellen had all scored us free tickets to attend... I left the game-watching crowd in the living room to check out what was going on in the office. Haha. Pizza! Spirit animal Good times. This photo is so creeptastic. Cat-eyed Karen. Karen, Niki and Ally. Sarah, Niki and Karen. Sarah, Karla, Karen and me. Small and Tall! Stairwell 2:30am. Happy birthday, Sarah! Love you! Haha. Sometimes accidental zooms are comedy gold. I like how Jenny is trying to pull Karen out of the way so she can look at Sarah's boobs. Steve and Karen. Later that night we went over to Matt's apt with Karen and Sar. Post-brunch parting of ways. On Saturday a whole bunch of us met up... ...and got brunch at Kate's (where we used to go for brunch almost every weekend in 2003-04!). TIME FOR CRANIUM TEAM PHOTOS!!!! Team 1: Fatty, Karen and Jared opted for "Family Portrait with Hounds!" Haha. Action shots. This group photo makes me so happy. Hahaha. Party people elevator, part one (the good part). 2:45am. Hahaha. Happy New Year, Karen! Ellen & Sar. Look who we found waiting for the elevator when it opened up on the third floor! HAP-PY NEW YEAR! ...Karen, Mark and Sarah came over early on Saturday evening to hang out and give it a try. Careful: WET TAINT. Up in the balcony with these three lovely ladies. Posture, ladies! Karen showing off her tshirt from back when Justin Timberlake was in NSync (and looked like a butchy lesbian). Attendance photo! Bros on a balcony. Presents! Pigtail blindfold. Gordon, Karen and Geordon. After dinner we headed over to Lit. Karen! Brunch that ends at 4pm makes me so tired. ...and their matching Anvil shirts. Awwww. Thanks for inviting us, Sar! We had an awesome time. Karen and Sarah... Of course she got her shit signed by the band. Hahah. After the show, we went downstairs so that Karen could hit the merch table. I had never heard of them, but the movie is so wonderful and heartfelt that it was really great to get to see them play live after watching a documentary about how much they love to rock. Karen and me. The next morning I went to brunch at the Hotel Rivington with a big brunch crew to welcome Jenny's cousin (I think!) who was in town visiting. Karen. So did pretty much everybody else. Kitchen party! By the time Gurj arrived, the birthday girl was a little tipsy. Haha. Rapture. We left The Continental around 3 and headed over to see Gina who was DJ downstairs at Bowery Electric. Boy, that generic well tequila sure is SMOOOOOTH. Haha. Hahah. LOVE THIS. Ollie, Amanda, Karen and Sarah get ready to shoot 'em. (All expressions in this photo are great but Ollie gets an A+) It even had a private backyard patio! While we were waiting for the guy to drop off Leigh's new keys, Karen arrived. New apt = awesome. Karen was there rocking this incredible DREAM STREET shirt (with braided hair AND pin on her shirt that says "FUCK THAT SHIT" Haha). Karen, Lawrence and Michael were all still there! On Friday night I went to Hanger Bar for last call! Karen, Michael and Mandy were all still there. 4th of July party in the dj booth! Hahaha. We got to Hanger Bar and it was practically empty. Which meant that Sarah and Karen were extra excited when we showed up with a whole crew. Michael, Karen and Peter! Check out the truck parked right outside of the bar! I asked Leigh and Karen to strike sexy, slutty-girls-in-an-automotive-calendar poses and this is what they came up with. YES! Closing 'er down! Take two with 200% more glamor from Karen! Leigh thought Nick was getting fresh but it turned out to be John! Hahahaha. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Summer time is the best. Gate-down after-hours! She is freakishly strong. John had heard me telling stories about how Nicole's really strong and that NO ONE beats her at arm wrestling and decided to try her on for size! Every time someone would catch my eye and they were sure Meredith wasn't looking, I'd get cheered on. Hahaha. ...Meredith's over-sized engagement ring. I had to custom order it in her size (because she has teeny tiny fingers) but the custom ring didn't arrive in time so I had to propose with a ring that only fit on Meredith's thumb! Hahaha. Here's Meredith realizing that there's a whole bunch of her friends from out of town hiding in the corner! Hahaha. OMFG. I'm writing this entry after a totally crummy day at work and this photo just instantly made me able to forget my bad day. Hahah. Check out LURKER totally getting his half-hearted party on with the ladies. A couple minutes later we're up six people (seven if you count THE LURKER in the corner). Check out Jenny Penny popping out a, uhhh, valentine for Marisa. (And is that Paul Hanley in the hoodie?)
