Ok, now this photo is taken about 30 minutes later. The number of people behind the decks has gone from two to four.
karen
Turn it up, you little knob-twister!
karen
And Meredith! Five!
karen
Drinks like that inevitably lead to a group that looks like this.
karen
Karen (making a Jew nose joke?) and Sar.
karen
Me and Karen. So happy!
karen
Backstage congratulamagatin.
karen
Hahaha.
karen
I love this photo. Instant party.
karen
Hahaha.
karen
Mouth stretch FAIL. (click here to see mouth stretch WIN!
karen
Well, Karen too, OBVS (because we all know that she doesn't watch sports because she likes sports) but she's not the secret scandal I'm hinting about.
karen
Hi there. You smiling at me?
karen
MAKE A WISH, BIRTHDAY BOY!
karen
Before things got too hot and heavy on the lanes, Karen and Sarah busted out a birthday cake!
karen
Mandy and Karen.
karen
Karen and her really nice friend whose name I forgot! Sorry!
karen
Even if that means pouring some of it, er, down your pants?
karen
Hahaha. If someone gives you a bottle of free vodka, it's your duty to finish it.
karen
High Scores All Around!
karen
On Monday night I went over to Angels & Kings for a karaoke competition that was being held to celebrate the release of Sarah Lewitinn's SECOND BOOK, Pocket Karaoke. ! Here's Karen with our beloved author! Congrats again, Sarah! TWO BOOKS? We're so proud of you!
karen
After we finished making a mess all over the sidewalk, we went back inside and played songs for nobody but ourselves the rest of the night. Good. Times.
karen
Fast forward a couple of weeks and it's Saturday night and I'm back at Hanger Bar. Hahaha. I love this photo of Karen so much.
karen
Awwww, how cute is this photo? They're spelling M-A-T-T! Congrats on your new apartment, buddy! We're so excited for you!
karen
Karen immediately headed over the floor-to-ceiling windows and flashed her hoo-hah to onlookers below.
karen
Karen just can't keep her vajine to herself. Hahaha.
karen
But she's got nothing but love in her heart for the Poshest of Tonies.
karen
Brandon and Sarah (and Karen making faces at Brandon).
karen
Not. Even. Close.
karen
We got played records, got crunked on big drinks served in weird jars and tried our best to fit an entire glass in our mouths like Susan used to do way back in the day.
karen
And then around 3am we finally got up off our asses and headed down to Orchard Bar (er, or maybe Hanger Bar?) to visit with Karen...
karen
On Wednesday night a whole bunch of us met up for dinner at La Palapa to celebrate...
karen
Closing time. Gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits - I hope you have found a friend.

Closing time. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
karen
Late Friday night I walked down to Hanger Bar to catch the exciting tail end of the Stolen Transmission party! Karen was on the decks tearing it up!
karen
Vaaaaaaaaa-poooooooooor!
karen
Hahahah.
karen
Karen and Mandy!
karen
Around two, we said farewell to Nina and headed over to Hanger Bar for the Stolen Transmission party.
karen
Dino Arms? Tyrannosaurus Rex?
karen
How about a little Karen / Meredith puppet action?
karen
All these pics make me smile!
karen
Major controversy erupted when someone drew a "all teams compete" card and each team had to select a member to try to get their teammates to guess the clue "Jewish." Here's Meredith holding up the winning drawing, in front of her all-Jewish team.
karen
Sunday night a WHOLE buncha people came over to our place to play play Cranium!
karen
The tension in the room was unbelievable. (PS - If, perchance, you ever find yourself anywhere in the vicinity of Fatty, and you also, perchance, decide to take out your camera and take a picture and Fatty is not in the frame, there's is a 100% chance that he will lean into the frame at the last second and make an awesome face.)
karen
Team #1: Karen, The Fatty, Joobz and Meredith.
karen
And Karen correctly guessed what all the squeezing was about. Victory!
karen
Meredith got squeezed.
karen
So many people ended up stopping by! Karen and the Fatty!
karen
After the band was finished playing, we totally had ourselves a "dance like no one's watching" dance party.
karen
Hahaha.
karen
Speaking of fun, it's KAREN WITH GIANT SUNGLASSES!
karen
Hahaha. I don't remember why Sarah's doing the whole "me have Chinee eyes" thing, but I'm sure there's a perfectly-good, non-racist explanation for it. Nah, I'm just kidding. She's totally a racist! RACIST!
karen
On Friday night, Meredith and I went over to Angels & Kings because Sarah and Karen were doing their thing there.
karen
Xiaoting and Karen!
karen
...Guitar Hero! Woooo! Here's David breaking his cherry while Karen cheers him on!
karen
Karen nuzzling up to David. (Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm! Smells like handsome!)
karen
...but eventually gave up and just ripped the broken part off the lens. And was over-joyed to discover that despite the fact that I'd just dropped the camera on its lens and then ripped half of lens-assembly off the camera, that the camera still took perfectly good photos! (Not to mention that this is pretty much my favorite photo of Karen of all time. I love how it looks like it was taking during a private, Undies-Only dance party! *gasp!*).
karen
...and then headed over to Angels & Kings in the East Village to visit Sarah, Karen and Brandon. Right after I snapped this picture, I dropped my brand new camera and broke the lens-protector! So that the next time I took a photo...
karen
I experimented for a while trying to use the broken-lens protector to frame the photos in interesting ways...
karen
...it looked like this! OH NOS!
karen
Gurj and Karen.
karen
The day was perfect. We pretty much just sat around stuffing our faces with snacks and enjoying the sun and occasionally stopping to mock people near us. Like the girl in the background that decided to use her boyfriend as a bench. WTF?
karen
Karen the Pringle-billed duck!
karen
I know your eyes are going right to Karen's awesome juggs, but after you're done checking them out, make sure to direct your attention to the upper-left portion of the photo where Gurj is tickling some lady's dingus.
karen
Check out Karen totally killing Jenny with the old "Get a load of this guy!" Hahaha.
karen
And right at the end of the night we were treated to another very special Karen & Jenny Penny duet.
karen
Karen and Jenny found a song in the book and started screaming about it, but refused to tell anyone what song they'd found.
karen
...it should most definitely start these two.
karen
If they ever decide to make a reality show about two girls who get drunk and sing karaoke duets together...
karen
They hit the stage and it turned out to be a Taking Back Sunday song...
karen
We finished Cranium a little after one, and everybody rallied and decided to head to karaoke! I love how everyone in this photo is all "Woooo! Party!" except for Benjamin. Hahaha.
karen
Meredith, Jenny Penny, Karen and Quinn squared off against...
karen
Karen and Sarah were there! (Karen, if you're giving that "five" hand signal in honor of The Five O'Clock Heroes, you are a huge dork.)
karen
The next thing I knew, it was after 3am and the party was winding down!
karen
Happy New Year, squinty Vince and Karen!
karen
Congrats Karen & Sarah!
karen
Yay!
karen
...Sarah and Karen for their Stolen Transmission party!
karen
Same goes for you, Rutner.
karen
Don Hill's was WAY too crowded and sweaty, so I spend most of the night hiding in the little secret section drinking free booze (woo!). Ilirjana and Karen.
karen
In the end, Team NoJenny won! (Meredith decided to represent for Jenny by popping out her knockers!). After Cranium, we all hung out for a while and then someone noticed that Meredith had disappeared. When Meredith disappears from a party, it's usually because...
karen
...but were constantly derailed by fits of laughter because...
karen
Karen and Sarah tried to work on a trivia question...
karen
Now, for an overview of the competitors! Karen and Sarah were as the newly-named "Team NoJenny."
karen
Karen, Sarah, and Jenny started out as a team, but about 15 minutes in the game, Jenny got a red-card for being too drunk to understand how the game was played. This was also the night that Jenny coined a phrase that I still happily use on a weekly basis. During one of the challenges where Sarah was required to draw a picture and get her teammates to guess a clue, Jenny watched her draw and started yelling out guesses. "Uh....it's FEET! Uhhhhh. Uhhhhh. Hmmmm. Oh! Feet! No, VAGINA! OH, FEET!"
karen
...for a party!
karen
After a couple hours of "regular party," the party turned into a CRANIUM party!
karen
Here's Xioating, Karen and Anna Maria living it up.
karen
...and Karen.
karen
If anyone knows the importance of cradling the coconuts, it's Karen.
karen
Hahaha.
karen
Yep! And here's him wincing afterwards while it looks like Karen is showing him how much tonic was put into her vodka tonic.
karen
Karen, Sarah and Brandon.
karen
Here's a bunch of people trying to cool down between takes. Enormous Abandoned Brooklyn Warehouse + August = 110 degrees inside. Blech.
karen
Late, late, late Thursday night I went over to the Annex to say hi to Karen who was DJing downstairs.
karen
...and Karen!
karen
Karen was wearing her sexy-ass wolf shirt (which, incidentally, is the same EXACT shirt kids in my high school used to mock Eric Witzling for wearing back in 1992. If only they'd known that he was a fashion GOD fourteen-years ahead of his time!)
karen
On Thursday night I headed down to the basement of The Annex to say hi to Sarah and Karen and do some dancing!
karen
that Sarah and Karen were DJing!
karen
Hahaha.
