Happy birthday!
michael
Was nice to see everyone!
michael
Late night dance party part of the evening!
michael
Later that night, I went to Dreambaby to wish...
michael
Spent the evening with Scott, Erika and their kids before Scott gave me a ride back home to NYC!
michael
Scott with Abbey, Michael & Liam!
michael
I don't remember what we were celebrating, but on Saturday night I went to a nice little get-together at Sarah's...
michael
...to meet up with a bunch of people....
michael
Ellen, Ray, Jenny, Josh, Michael and Mandy.
michael
It was a perfect summer night so we took full advantage of the roof.
michael
A few of the late night photos from John's birthday party (held on the last night on January) accidentally ended up in my February folder!
michael
Michael, Mandy and me. Shortly after this photo was taken, the entire party headed down the street to attend an after-hours warehouse party...that promptly got shut down after a huge fight almost broke out.
michael
Lawrence, Ellen, Mandy and Michael.

I'm writing this on December 11, 2010 - only 59 weeks 111 weeks later (thanks for the correction, Ralph. Bad math!), but I remember this night and it seems like a million years ago. Good times.
michael
Later that night, Mandy invited us to see Stellastarr play a warm up show.
michael
It was pretty awesome.
michael
Karen, Lawrence and Michael were all still there!
michael
On Friday night I went to Hanger Bar for last call! Karen, Michael and Mandy were all still there.
michael
Michael, Karen and Peter!
michael
Mandy was DJ and Brother Lawrence and Michael were both there!
michael
Later that night we went out to celebrate Lawrence's Birthday! Happy Bday, my tuxedoed friend! (This is the only photo I have from the night for some terrible reason. The pics from his last birthday party are EPIC!)
michael
Lawrence, Mandy and Michael! At first I thought Mandy and Michael were sharing a floating red leather hat, but that's when I looked closer and noticed Mr. Creepers McPeepers getting his L U R K on in the background.
michael
Michael gives a big smile while Liam applies some final touches to his mascara. In a couple of hours, these two dudes will legally be brothers!
michael
Michael and I reflecting on the fact that 5am on a weeknight isn't as much fun as it used to be (aka - we're OLD!).
michael
Later that night, Meredith and her friend even came over and joined us!
michael
Verdict? Not good at all! (Check out Lawrence's face! Haha). We decided to retreat to the basement and continue our night band-free.
michael
And then Gina "SmellsGood BonJersey" showed up with Michael and our quiet little night of grabbing a catch-up drink pretty much turned into a rowdy mini-party.
michael
Michael and SmellsGood BonJersey show off my latest purchase. They took it in stride...
michael
...down to Orchard Bar for Sarah and Karen's Stolen Transmission party where I ran into Michael and Mandy!
michael
Gina "SmellsGood" BonJersey and Michael.
michael
Why's Connor Oberst gotta always be biting Michael's steeze, yo?
michael
Smellsgood, Michael, Sarah and Karen.
michael
...somebody's San Franciscian "wacky dad" showed up! Hahaha. Get aload of this guy. He recognized Michael from somewhere and started talking to him and Michael was clearly not 100% positive who the guy was and kind of uncomfortable talking to him. We did what any good friends are supposed to do when your buddy is stuck talking to someone they don't want to be talking to...
michael
Careful my friend - get too close and your neck will look like it got into a fight with a pool cue.
michael
Leigh and Michael skulking in the corner.
michael
Smells-Good Gina and Michael.
michael
Michael was there with his friend who was in from out of town. Or that was at least his "I'm not used to these late bar hours" excuse before he promptly passed the fuck out on the downstairs couch.
michael
Michael, Greg TB and Karen.
michael
Mike and Shawn (who spells his name the girly way).
michael
Gina, Mandy and Michael.
michael
Mandy, ?, Jasper, Mike and SmellsGood Gina.

At 1:17am Grant and Michael quietly gathered their things and announced that they were going to leave together and "you know, split a cab back to Brooklyn, because we sort of, um, live near each other."
