the february roundup: part two

february, 2006

Here they are! The rest of the photos I took all the way back in February of 2006! I hope they make you laugh! (Go back to Part One) Wednesday, February 15th Wednesday evening I went over to David Kreitman's apartment to meet his brand new Boston Terrier puppy, Lord Alfred.    tags: david kreitman lord alfred dogs In the entire hour I was there, "Lord" Alfred was in such a state of frenzied puppy activity, that I only managed to snap three decent photos of him (NONE of which convey what a spazz-ball this dog really is). See? Look how calm he looks in this photo!    tags: lord alfred dogs And I'll be damned if he doesn't look outright regal in this photo!    tags: lord alfred dogs And, hey, wait a god damned minute...is he fucking smiling in this photo or is it me?    tags: lord alfred dogs smile On the way home I spotted a couch that looked like what Lord Alfred will very likely do to the furniture in David's home in the near future.    tags: couch Thursday, February 16th On Thursday night Ellen came over to hang. We did the yoosh. Watched TV, made stupid faces.    tags: ellen hart ugly face Hahahah.    tags: ellen hart ugly face Piper was there and she and I also did the usual. I fed her treats not meant for dogs (Cheetos, etc).    tags: piper dogs Then I let her gnaw on my fingers some.    tags: piper chew dogs hand Then we basically just chilled out and read the NME together.    tags: piper dogs Then later that night I went to some party where I ran into L. Flax...    tags: lauren flax ...and where apparently a band played and had a giant pillow fight???    tags: feathers I don't do drugs. I don't drink that much. How is it that I don't remember things like this clearly?    tags: feathers Friday, February 17th On Friday night, a whole bunch of us went to go see Fiasco play at Crash Mansion. Here's Grant on the mic.    tags: grant fiasco I helped sneak in Meredith's underage cousin Hank who was in town from Rhode Island visiting.    tags: hank me Usually, when you see your friend's band in NYC they pack up all their shit and go home as soon as their set is over (because it's a huge pain in the ass to worry about whether or not all your gear is going to get jacked). But Crash Mansion has a really nice back stage area where bands can secure all their equipment, so the band all stuck around after they played which gave us a rare opportunity to heap praise upon them.    tags: grant mike cohen sarah jaye Here's Siege, me and Jake Brownstain giving Grant accolades.    tags: grant jake brownstain me siege Hahaha. I love this photo! Here's Amanda, Siege, Grant, Mike, Brownstain and Eric George all throwing down B-boy (and B-Girl!) style.    tags: amanda eric george grant jake brownstain mike cohen siege Amanda and one of the promoters that put the show together. (Turns out the two of them went to high school together!)    tags: amanda Siege and Fatty.    tags: siege Amanda's big red lips and Siege. Right after this photo was taken, Amanda used those big red lips and...    tags: amanda siege ...Siege got STAMPED!    tags: siege kiss Grant's friend Mike came to the show with Sarah Jaye, his super-cute ex-girlfriend.    tags: mike cohen sarah jaye Meredith took a shining to her, took a page out of Amanda's playbook and was like "Why don't we put lipstick on and give each other kissy stamps!"    tags: meredith sarah jaye You give me one!    tags: meredith sarah jaye kiss Than I give you one! Eventually Meredith tried to move from "kissy stamp" game to the "let's you and I go make out in the corner" game and Sarah panicked! She ran over to me on the verge of tears and said something like "Tell your girlfriend I think she's cute, but that I'M A CATHOLIC! I can't do this!" and then ran out of the bar. Hahahaha.    tags: meredith sarah jaye kiss Here's Mike's reaction when we told him what had happened. Hahahaha.    tags: mike cohen We were hanging out around the corner from the stage, but we were able to watch the next band on the close circuit TV they had mounted above the bar. Fatty noticed what looked like a REALLY tall blond girl up front by the stage and was like "Whoa, that girl looks huge! I'm gonna go up there and see how tall she is! Watch for me on TV!"    tags: tv And thirty seconds later....viola! The Fatty (who's at least 6'3") was there on the TV laughing his Fatty-laugh and standing next to the girl to show that she was taller than him.    tags: fatty tv After the band was finished, a few of our girls went over to talk to the tall girl (and apparently give her a "kissy stamp") but before any further shenanigans could ensue, her ultra-scary boyfriend,complete with Russian Mafia hitman-stare and a black eye (he actually had a black eye!!!) came over and made it clear that he didn't approve of ANY TYPE of shenanigans. Doh!    tags: scary strangers Afterwards, the boys replenished themselves...    tags: fatty street meat ...via the "street meat" wagon outside the venue.    tags: grant street meat And I challenged a black guy to a street race! (He overheard Grant and I arguing who'd win in a foot race and when Grant asked him who he thought would win in a race between the two of us he was like "All I know is I'd definitely beat both of you...because I'm black." Hahahah.) I was like "Oh, you think so? LET'S DO THIS!" He got out of his car, we sent someone down the street to signal the start of the race, and I handed my camera over so that the race could be documented! And then...    tags: me footrace ...he chickened out! Hey, I don't blame him - he had nothing to gain from the race. If he won, everybody would've been like "Yeah, of course you beat the white guy, YOU'RE BLACK!" But if he lost, then it would've been like "Oh no, you're the black guy that got beat in a foot race BY A WHITE DUDE!" So, hey, I'm not saying I don't understand.    tags: me footrace strangers But that doesn't mean I relinquish my right to do the chicken dance and make clucking noises around your car for the next 3 minutes.    tags: me chicken footrace strangers Afterwards, Meredith and I stopped at Orchard Bar on the way home for Sarah and Karen's Stolen Transmission party. Here's Sarah and Brandon.    tags: brandon sarah dj SmellsGood Gina BonJersey was there!    tags: gina bonjersey So was Brother Lawrence!    tags: brother lawrence And I ran into Karen Marsala who I hadn't seen in forever! Here she is showing me that she can indeed touch the top of her lip to the bottom of her nose.    tags: karen marsala lips Meredith, not so much!    tags: meredith lips Same for me. Some nights I can do it no problem, other nights I try and try and wiggle and wiggle, but to no avail. (Look how close I am, though! I'm like an eighth of an inch away!)    tags: me lips Dan Cassanova (yes, that's his real name and yes it's the best name ever) was there. Before I could do too much catching up with him, he had to live up to his name...    tags: dan cassanova ...and totally started madly Frenchin' some girl he was with. By the way, I'd like to take this time to nominate "Frenching" as one of the better make-out-related verbs. (The best make-out-related verb, however, will always be "fingerblast.")    tags: dan cassanova kiss makeout Meredith (who is totally touching her lip to her nose in this photo. Success!) and her baby cousin Hank.    tags: hank meredith lips ugly face Oh no, Big Ben Cho!    tags: ben cho Me getting my face licked by K-Mar.    tags: karen marsala me tongue Matt Rubano was there and was sporting a sick Macbeth t-shirt. (No, not the play! We're talking about the Italian Gothic Metal Band, duh!)    tags: matt Brandon and Sarah! I'm glad Sarah finally found a boyfriend, because she can, at times, be...    tags: brandon sarah ...too picky.    tags: sarah nose Mer and me.    tags: me meredith Sean Dack holding up a napkin with some deep, emo pinings: "I carved a place in my heart for a boy that did not break it." He claims that he found it in his pocket on the floor.    tags: sean dack emo napkin Leigh giving Sar a lil' smooch! Goodnight!    tags: leigh sarah kiss Saturday, February 18th On Saturday evening I stopped by Leigh's apartment to get something I'd left there and she answered the door in her ketchup hoodie! (Which I hadn't seen in years!) Here's Leigh looking sad because I caught her wearing a red hoodie with pink shoes! Even I know those colors don't go together! Hahah.    tags: leigh hoodie Ketchup Elf.    tags: leigh hoodie Later that night I got dinner with the Grizz (who made this awesome face for me).    tags: grant hoodie And then even later on Saturday night I braved the cold and went over to MisShapes and when I got there Leigh (no longer wearing pink and red) stole my hat.    tags: leigh fur hat misshapes Ben Cho and Ryan.    tags: ben cho ryan mcginley misshapes Me and the Tinny.    tags: leigh me misshapes Than later, in the wee hours of the night...    tags: julien leigh misshapes ...I watched Julien Gilbert give Leigh a back-room LAPDANCE! Hahahahah.    tags: julien leigh lapdance laugh misshapes It was awesome. He was totally grinding all up in her piece and she was laughing uncontrollably and couldn't make eye-contact.    tags: julien leigh lapdance laugh misshapes Sunday, February 19th On Sunday afternoon I was walking to brunch and came across this dead rat. At the time I just thought it was interesting, but since then Meredith and I have gotten pet rats so this pic sorta makes me sad. Awwww. (He's holding out his little dead paws just like our live rats do when they want a treat).    tags: dead rats Later that night Amanda came over. We donned our winter gear (it was FUCKING FREEZING out) and then hiked over to Lit for some...    tags: amanda me fur hat ...Sunday Night Karaoke down in the basement! Woooo!    tags: amanda karaoke I'm also including this photo because Amanda is totally smuggling raisins in it.    tags: amanda karaoke Amanda killed it. Check out the crowd response: sheer disbelief.    tags: amanda karaoke I don't remember if this is someone Amanda knows or if it was just a boy she thought was cute. Either way, here they are!    tags: amanda karaoke Then a little past 2am, the Fatty showed up! (This was a huge surprise because 2am is way past his Sunday night bedtime!)    tags: fatty And Fatty had brought Seth with him (who was in town visiting from Boston!).    tags: fatty seth miller Vadim sang next and Amanda stayed up on stage...    tags: vadim karaoke ...to be his interpretive background dancer!    tags: amanda dance Hahahaha.    tags: amanda vadim dance karaoke When Seth took the stage a few songs later to throw down some Stevie Wonder, Amanda ran back up on stage to act as cheerleader, background dancer...    tags: amanda seth miller karaoke ...and giver of sultry looks.    tags: amanda seth miller karaoke Hahaha. Fatty giving either Seth or Amanda (or both!) the ol' "get a load of this guy" face.    tags: amanda fatty seth miller get a load of this guy karaoke Seth's crooning skills even managed to get a random girl from the audience up on stage and singing along.    tags: seth miller karaoke strangers And then there was a couple right up front near the stage that was totally necking during the song! Fatty leans in...    tags: fatty makeout strangers ...and demonstrates what they're doing.    tags: fatty makeout strangers tongue Kimilia was there!    tags: kimila karaoke She fucking rocked it.    tags: kimila karaoke Then I sang. By the serious, woeful look in my eyes, I know that I must have sang about the tragic tale of Ricky's life-long incarceration at the age of 18 after having accidentally shot his friend in a drunken wild night. (For any of you who didn't grow up in NJ or are under the age of 30, I'm talking about Skid Row's epic ballad, 18 and Life.    tags: me karaoke The couple in the front row was so captivated by my rendering of Ricky's heartfelt tale that they actually stopped Frenching so that they could turn around and listen to me sing (and so that the dude could slowly grind his boner into her ass).    tags: makeout strangers Amanda and Fatty. Hahah.    tags: amanda fatty me karaoke tongue That child blew a child away, indeed, Mr. Bach. There ends the February Roundup. Woooo!    tags: me karaoke
