Around 5am, I headed a few blocks north up to Don Hill's to go see Sarah who was DJing at the Burning Angel New Year's party. Here's me with Sarah and Raphael.
On the roof there was this couple totally going at it in the corner. Here's Sarah giving the "rock fist" of makeout approval as we not-so-subtley tried to capture them in the act.
Sarah making friends with the scary-ass costume guy that stands outside of Ricky's Halloween shop on Broadway for most of the month of October. If you come to NYC during then, watch out for this guy. He stands really still against the storefront pretending he's a statue and then when someone walks a little too close he'll jump out in front of them, or just reach out and touch their face, or my personal favorite, just as someone passes him, he'll start walking behind them really close...people will get like ten feet, sense someone is following them and when they turn around, they're like "AHHHHHHH!" Anyway, Sarah and I stood around for like ten minutes cracking up watching people freak the fuck out.
Even though we were seated together, they did their best job pretending that they didn't know me...
...while I took them through my repertoire of "Faces Nobody Likes You To Make in Public."
On Wednesday, Sarah took me to some party CosmoGirl Magazine was throwing for Michelle Branch. After fighting our way through the throng surrounding the fancy top-shelf open bar, we did the only sensible thing: doubled up.
Sarah and Tara! If it wasn't for Sarah, I might not have ever met Tara. I met Tara accidentally one night when I went to Piano's to meet Sarah for the first time!
I try not to post bad pictures of my friends...unless they're particularly exceptional. Considering this the best worst-picture of Sarah I've ever seen, it's gets posted. Just looking at it makes me laugh.
Thursday night I was walking around taking pictures with my new cam and I got a call from Sarah. We decided to meet up for dinner at Schiller's Liquor Bar near her house. I took a bunch of pictures of her and accidentally managed to take a picture of a ghost. See it there traveling at high speed through the background of the pic? Some people have tried to tell me that it was some sort of light refraction thingy, but if you look carefully you'll see that it starts out moving from left to right and as it gets to the right side of the picture it's in front of the people dining by the window, but behind the guy in the Hawaiian shirt. A simple trick of light couldn't appear between two objects in the background. Anyone else out there have any insight into what exactly this is a picture of? Please email me! (And it's not any type of smoke. There is no smoking allowed in the restaurant)
A few weeks prior, I had tried to nuzzle Sarah's boobies while we were cutting rug at P.Diddy's party and she ran away. But this time, sweet, sweet success. Hahahaha.
After C-Tav, we heading down to E. Bway to meet the cute bday girl and all her cute friends that supposedly want to meet us. En route, we ran into Sarah L. who got to meet Vin for the first time.
Thursday night, I went over to Sarah Lewitinn's place to meet up before heading over to the Fourth of July Motherfucker party (Motherfucker is a party in NYC that happens the night before most major holidays).
Back at the Hole: See that guy on right? Right after I snapped this
pic, Sarah screamed, jumped away from him, ran over to me and said,
"Dude, that guy totally had a giant boner and he pressed it into my
leg! Eeeeewwww!" A few weeks later, I sent her a link to these pics
over IM and asked her if she remembered him
battjer: did you see the pics of
the guy with the boner at the end? battjer: remember him? Ultragrrrl: oh god. do i ever. Ultragrrrl: his cock will haunt
me forever.
Here's a pic of me trying to put my face in between Sarah's bizzoobies and nuzzle them in time to the music. Needless to say, she resisted. Shortly after this pic, we wrapped up the dance party and headed back downtown to the Hole to try to catch last call (at this point it was 8:30am for Charlene, who was still on London time, so she and Grant headed home).
On Monday, May 19th at 12:14am history was made as Sarah Lewitinn (of "Ultragrrrl" fame) finally drank enough to climb up on stage and pop her sweet, virgin karaoke cherry! She was a lil' shy at first...
I came back from the fancy men's room and reported that "the urinal is a big waterfall. And you pee in the waterfall." Sarah and Vicki didn't believe me so I had no choice but to sneak them in for a first-hand view.
The party was being held at the Royalton Hotel - we met up with Sarah's friend Vicki (who has since moved in with my friend Meghan Wicker - woooo!) and started getting our "money's worth" at the swanky open bar.
We prowled the crowd on the hunt for some serious celeb action. And lookie who we saw milling around - that's right, it's Neil Patrick Harris (aka - Doogie Howser, M.D.)! Booyah!
Me to Vicki and Sarah: "Quick! Pretend like I'm taking a picture of you two so we can get Doogie in the background." I think he overheard the word "Doogie" because he started moving around trying to get out of the way. But we got you Doogie. Oh, yes. We got you.
Sarah Lewitinn (aka "ultragrrrl" from Spin magazine) and me later on in the evening at Lit. She's on the cusp of being famous enough to be included in the next section....
