The email and flyer she sent around explained that she would be having a circus sideshow-themed party and would be playing the ringmaster and introducing all of the acts!
On Thursday night I went to Yodle's Holiday Party! In 2009, the company had added more than another 100 employees and had to be held in an even larger venue. We took it nice and easy compared to last year's extra-drunk ankle-spraining extravaganza!
Here's a photo of the "afterhours" party we went to in an abandoned building that got shut down about 20 minutes after it opened because a big fight broke out (that may or may not have been instigated by a drunk and belligerent Meredith! Ha!).
...a party! (I think this was John's birthday party, right? Just trying to remember why it was so much earlier in the year than last year's wonderfully messy affair).
Aziza and Mer on the dance floor. This is the last picture of Meredith that I have from this party. A couple of minutes later, she demanded my co-worker Alex dip her on the dance floor and Meredith fell and SLAMMED her ankle against the corner of a step that was on the edge of the recessed dance floor! It really hurt so she decided to take a cab home. (She totally forgot that's she'd left her WALLET and KEYS in my jacket and went through HELL trying to get home on her own. My cell phone was in my jacket in the coat check room and I didn't find all this out until the next morning. Bad, drunk boyfriend for not accompanying her home!)
On Thursday night we went to a party at Gold Bar to celebrate the opening of Court, Nicole and Lisa's rad new clothing boutique on Mulberry just north of Broome.
Cat's one of those people who's is friends with lots of different groups of people! So her parties are always great because you are guaranteed to meet new people!
Even though it was a Thursday night, everyone had off work the next day for the 4th of July. Even though this photo was taken right around midnight, most people were still arriving and hanging out in the kitchen.
Siege's two favorite things are Katie and New Orleans (well, maybe New Orleans comes in 3rd or 4th place after a couple other things I can think of), but regardless, Siege invited a feisty mix of people to come over on Tuesday night and celebrate Katie's birthday Mardi Gras style! Here's the birthday girl presiding over the early guests!
Since we had to clean our entire apartment for our sub-letters, we decided to get it good and dirty first by inviting a bunch of a friends to come over and get real drunk and rowdy.
