Afterwards, Jane Anne and Vin joined me around the corner for a few celebratory drinks! Happy April 2018!
vin + me
Later that evening I met up with Vin and we headed to...
vin + me
Post-show happiness from these middle-aged geezers. It was worth the long wait!

So excited!
vin + me
Hung out with Vin on Saturday night.
vin + me
On Saturday I saw that Vin posted a drawing of me from a photo of me sitting on the beach!
vin + me
On Wednesday afternoon, Vin came over for a hang and we laughed about....
vin + me
All dressed up!
vin + me
...with this guy.
vin + me
Everybody lean in!
vin + me
Summer in NYC is my fave.
vin + me
Fast forward to almost two weeks later....I've returned from my RV Trip and that Saturday afternoon, Vin and I went up to midtown...
vin + me
I've know these two for a loooong time.
vin + me
That afternoon, Vin posted this excellent drawing of me and Eric P, based on a photo of us from September 2015
vin + me
We were the only two people in the theater! Happy December 2015!
vin + me
vin + me
...then met up with this one...
vin + me
Baddies.
vin + me
Later that afternoon we walked down to Chinatown.
vin + me
We went to the park across the street and chowed down! Just because it's one-hundred degrees doesn't mean you shouldn't eat piping hot, extra-spicy food!
vin + me
I even managed to convince Vin to come and hang out, but he ran away when the girls had a few drinks in them and started getting fresh with their hands. (PS - Whenever you see me smoking in a photo, there's a 100% chance I'm drunk).
vin + me
I've been seeking out side-rooms at parties for quiet man-chats with this dude since 1996! Haha.
vin + me
On Sunday evening I met up with Vin and we went out to Bushwick to go to a house party BBQ at Lauren's house!
vin + me
...I met up with these guys at Bowery Ballroom to see...
vin + me
Buds.
vin + me
Headed home.

vin + me
So tough.
vin + me
It's pretty much impossible to make tough guy faces when you have beach hair and a pink towel, but that sure as hell didn't stop the likes of us!
vin + me
...but Vin kept on laughing (like he usually does). (By the way, any time I'm making faces like this in photos that's usually a leading indicator that I'm on my way to CRUNKEDSVILLE).
vin + me
My main man Vin was there. I kept trying to get us both to make ganster faces like we usually do...
vin + me
Representing for the groom!
vin + me
A couple of weeks later, Vin emailed around this awesome drawing he did to thank us for attending!
vin + me
...Vin...
vin + me
Meredith caught Vin and I taking one of our signature "Tough Guy" photos that we've been doing as joke since at least 1998, and wanted to give being a "tough guy" a shot.
vin + me
Saying goodnight to Vin and Aya.
vin + me
Me and Vin. (Boy! Everyone's got a website these days!)
vin + me
I tried to get Vin to wear it for a picture and he was like "No way, if anyone sees a picture of a brown guy in a bio-warfare mask, the terror alert status is going to increase. Fuck that." Hahahaha.
vin + me
...and drove to nearby New Milford, CT to pick up Vin at his parent's house and bring him back down to NYC (coincidentally, Vin and The Fatty both grew up in New Milford).
vin + me
On Sunday we headed back to Thompkins Square Park to enjoy the sunshine. (From L to R: Matt Lavin aka "Buddy" from Sid & Buddy fame, Vin, me and the Tins).
vin + me
Vin and (squinty) me.
vin + me
Later that night, I met up with Vin (who coincidentally turned up wearing a PGMG shirt) and we headed to...

vin + me
Vin and I singing along.
vin + me
Please, like I need an excuse to smooch this handsome boy.
vin + me
Westside!
vin + me
Then afterwards, I bid farewell to everyone and went to meet (the newly blonde) Vinay at nearby Cherry Tavern.
vin + me
Vin and I also saw a guy whose ass was...
vin + me
Despite probably being the oldest people there by, say, oh, I don't know...eight years, we still managed to outlast all those little fuckers.
vin + me
Actually, looking at this photo I'm going to have to take away Dennis' bonus points and award them to Vin.
vin + me
After Colin's party, I hopped on the nearby L train and headed to Williamsburg to meet up with Vin and check out a party Leah was having at her loft.
vin + me
After the SPIN party, I walked over to C-Tav (that's Cherry Tavern to the rest of you) to meet up with my man Vin and hoist a few Tiajauan Specials (A can of Tecate and shot of bad bar tequilla for $4!) PS - Rarely do I point it out, but I'm really good at taking pictures where you totally can't tell that I took it. Let's hear it for my freakishly long arms!)
vin + me
Me, Amber and the Vin.
vin + me
Then Vin and Liza showed up! Woo!
vin + me
Right as I was getting ready to call it a night, Vin called me to inform me that he was in the neighborhood and convinced me to go out with him.
vin + me
...and we all went over to HiFi for the band's afterparty (Leah used to live out in Seattle and knows the guys in the band)
vin + me
(Dear San Loco, How come when I'm drunk I can't help but eat you even though I know you always make feel sick? Your Friend, Brian.) After dos guaco tacos, Vin asked if he could crash on my couch because it was too late to bother going all the way back out to Brooklyn.
vin + me
On Sunday evening, Vin and I headed over to the Tribecca Grand to see...
vin + me
And then Vin and I headed over to Pianos to meet up with...
vin + me
Movie with Amber and Vin!
vin + me
Mandy, Vin and me.
vin + me
Then we bundled up (so fuuuuucking cold out)...
vin + me
Wednesday night I came back into town and met up with Vin for some old school Cherry Tavern action.
vin + me
I hijacked Vin's peepers and made him all squinty!

vin + me
Here's Vin getting ready to light what he's betting me $20 will be his "last cigarette...EVER!" (Update: He managed to make it for six days before he had to hand over a Mr. Jackson.)
vin + me
Take two! This time with more attitude and less Ken.
vin + me
Yay, I have friends! I have friends! Clockwise from top left: Vin, Ken, Dave, me, Audrey and Julia.
vin + me
First off check out Vin's face (hahahah)! So after getting a clutch shot of Emma with the "pressed hams" move, I thought I'd continue the streak and take one of my famous "You're posing with my balls but you don't know that you are" pictures with Crazy Marni. The plan was that I'd go up to her with them out, snap a couple of shots to lull her into a false sense of security, and then turn the camera lengthwise introducing my plums into the equation. Everything was going smoothly until...

Friday night I went out with Vin and Matty - we were sitting in the Two Boots Pizza on Bleecker and Bway, having ourselves a lil' slizzice at 2am-ish, when suddenly a six-person fight broke out that lasted for more than ten minutes. I was so stunned I totally shit the bed and didn't even take any pictures. I was so entralled I think I'd forgotten I even owned a camera. Anyway, here's a pic of us afterwards laughing about it while we stood around watching the pizza workers explain to the cops (who took forever to show up) what had happened.

Later on that night, Vin and I went to Lit where we ran into Candy...

Check out the sauce stains on his shirt. Awesome.
vin + me
Vin, Grizzle, Pascal, Nicolas, Laure and moi.
vin + me
I met up with a well-liquored Grant on 2nd & 2nd and we walked up to meet Vinay outside of Plaid on 13th & 4th (actually "well-liquored" is probably a bit of an understatement considering he almost threw up on the walk up).
vin + me
The Fatty (looking like a zombie from out of "The Night of the Living Dead") me, Vin (making the bestest face ever) and GrizzleMyNizzle.
vin + me
Vin and Tara!
vin + me
Vin, me, and Vin's hat.
vin + me
Later that night - Tara and I went to see the Fatal Flying Guillotines (friends of hers from Texas) play at Lit. Afterwards, we went over to SinSin and kicked it. (L to R: Vin, Tara, me, Jaime, and one of Jaime's friends).

So we walk all the way down to Chinatown only to find that the party's long since over and all the cute girls (if they even existed in the first place) are nowhere to be seen (fucking Vin, sheesh).. But on the upside, on the walk back up towards the East Village, we found this picture of Jesus that someone had put out for the trash and we decided to save him (God knows how many people he's saved so, you know, it was the least we could do).

Even though it's more expensive than it used to be back in the day, you really can't beat The Cherry Tavern "Special." A can of Tecate and a shot of tequilla for $4? Wha?

After a few minutes of me sitting next to Vin, Marco notices that we're both wearing the same shirt (albeit, in different colors) and starts totally giving us shit. (Keep this in mind for later...)
vin + me
Look! It's the ARMY OF DUDES. Can seven guys get into a nightclub on Friday night with only one female?
vin + me
Just in case you're wondering why Vin's making that face it's because Grant kept holding his arm up next to Vin's and being like "Look, I'm darker than you! I'm supposed to be white and you're supposed to be the brown one, but I'm browner! Me!"

When I was playing with the settings on my new cam I must've accidentally switched it into the "ugly-ass faces" mode.
vin + me
On Monday night I headed to the "all lit up" Indian restaurant near the corner of 1st Ave and 6th Street for Vin's birthday! Vin's birthday this year was much more low-key than last year's sordid affair. Here's me and the birthday boy.
vin + me
Josh, Grant, and Vin.
vin + me
See? Stupid.

Bar #2 - Pioneer Bar, 1:41am: After leaving the Nerve crew, Vin and I busted down the Bowery to meet up with my friend (and Oxygen Media prospective client, boo-yah!) Melissa K...(who prefers I not use her last name on this page) was already well into the bag when we caught up with her.
vin + me
Nina has perfect boobs. Here Grant and Lauren check them out.
vin + me
"Thug-shot" taken at a rest stop on our way north. This is probably the toughest photo of Vin and I ever taken. Looking at it, you'd never know that just minutes earlier we'd been listening to Madonna in my car.
vin + me
Kate, Laurie Choi, Emily, Josh, Vin and me. Happy Halloween!
vin + me
Vin and I. Huh?
