Lorelei and I kicked off the festivities with a duet. (By the way, I'm writing these caption in May of 2005, almost a year later so I pretty much have no idea what song anyone was singing in these pics).
On Wednesday afternoon, Leah, who I'd met while out in Texas for SXSW, emailed me out of the blue and asked if I wanted to be her plus one for the Death Cab for Cutie show at Irving Plaza. I teased her about how when I'd first met her she walked into a tree...
After getting back into town, Sarah, Caryn and I went out to a sushi dinner with a whole bunch of people. On the walk back to the hotel from dinner, I yelled for Leah to "Watch out!" She was wearing high heels and almost broken her ankle stepping on a sewer grate - however, while she looked down to avoid the grate, she accidentally walked into a tree and cut the bridge of her nose. Some big help I was.
