We had to get two taxis for the ride back to Charlene's. Dani and I snuck away from the group and hopped in our own cab. Grant spent the entire 20 minute cab ride leaning out his cab's window (that was behind our cab) trying to capture pics of Dani and I making out.

On the train we voted against bringing our luggage to the concert for fear that there'd be no place to put it (As much as we wanted to catch the ACDC concert in it's entirety, the thought all of our luggage getting lost in the fray was too much of a risk, even for us). So we hopped a quick cab back to Charlene's flat (that's fancy British talk for "apartment") to drop off our bags.

We spent our cab ride discussing tricks and traps we could employ to scare the crap out of Grant and capture it on tape.

The next night, a whole bunch of us headed over to Sin Sin for the Happy Birthday / Goodbye Forever Party Spectacular. Here's me and my co-worker Zara in the cab on the way over.

Momentarily safe whilst stopped at a traffic light, Grant captured this picture of me reflecting upon the "nugget of fear" I'd just involuntarily deposited in my shorts.

First off, I'd like to record in this diary that due to our certifiably-insane driver on the cab ride over, we almost didn't make it to the party alive. Here's Grant holding on for dear life as the driver executes one of his many fast-corner, tire-chirping turns.

Grant had just broken up with his girlfriend Erica (for the 8th time, but really, who's counting, right?) and wanted to stay home and mope. Instead, Vin and I managed to convince him to go to our friend Kusum's rollerdisco brithday party at the Roxy. After a little bit of Vin-nuzzlin' failed to cheer him up...

After Iggy's, Bev and Matt left and Emily and I popped into Pianos, but it was pretty gay so we left. (But not before some hipster kid put his "mesh hat" down on the bar and when he turned around, we swiped it and ran out the door.) We immediately took turns trying it on seeing who...

Hailing a cab back to Manhattan. A couple weeks later someone I know got permanently disfigured when an elderly woman ran a stop sign and t-boned him riding his motorcycle...and I never bothered to reschedule my test.

Totally shitfaced - we hopped a cab and headed back downtown. We spent the ride doing what any drunk person does with a camera, making stupid faces!
