Here are all the pics I took in November in one convenient entry! Woo!
Wednesday, November 1st
On Wednesday night I went to Lit to see Alle perform with his band Modwheelmood! tags:alessandro

And then I took a photo of this toilet because it had a sticker for a band named "Rathole" and that's Meredith's favorite place to sleep! (The "rathole" in our apartment, not the toilet). tags:rat hole

After the show I went over to Sarah's and there was more Lady Sovereign-mask creepiness! This time Lady Sov was being played by... tags:ellen hart

...Ellen! tags:ellen hart

Then Sarah surprised me by busting out a promotional poster for Permanent Me's upcoming record - which I did all the photos for! Awesome! tags:sarah

Saturday, November 4th
On Saturday night Fatty and I went to go see the Borat movie. It had opened the night before to huge crowds, which we (mistakenly) thought we could avoid by going to see the 2am showing in Murray Hill! tags:crowd
2am and Murray Hill - and it was STILL mobbed! (Totally worth it, though.) tags:crowd
After the movie, I went over to MisShapes and ended up staying crazy late. Afterwards, I was walking with Jackson to get into someone's car to catch a ride to the afterparty, and we noticed that one of the cars parked on the street was rocking. Upon closer examination, it was revealed that the rocking was being caused by two people fucking in the backseat! I crept up to the car and busted out my camera with the intent to take a sneaky photo of them, but I forgot to turn my flash off and when I took this photo, we all had to run like hell because my flash totally alerted the fuckees in the car to the fact that I had just snapped this pic of them fucking! Whoopsie! tags:car

The after-party was at the MisShapes' apartment. Here's Jackson getting crazy with some Scotch tape. tags:jackson

Say what you will about Steve Aoki, but this guy brings the party 24-7. Take this photo for example. It's 5:41am and he's wearing fingerless pink gloves and chugging vodka straight from the bottle even when... tags:steve aoki
...he's just playing some Connect Four. Rage! tags:connect four
Hahaha. tags:douche
Sunday, November 5th
Lazy Sunday. Meredith and I got our Odessa brunch on... tags:meredith
coffee
...and then spent some quality time saying goodbye to Edie... tags:edie

...because Leigh came by later that night to pick her up ending our weeks of dog-sitting! Boo! tags:leigh
Wednesday, November 8th
Our friend Ellen Stagg got hired to shoot the holiday billboards for Viacom's headquarters in Time Square and she asked if Meredith and I wanted to model for it! She explained that we'd just have to show up and kiss a bunch of times and that if we were chosen, our smoochin' photo would end up on a huge billboard in Times Square (and we'd get paid!) So of COURSE we went. Here's Katie doing Meredith's makeup for the shoot! tags:katie

A few weeks later Ellen emailed us to tell us that we'd been chosen for the campaign and that we were going to be on a billboard! Here are cut-ups I made from the proofs she sent us! Me smooching Meredith. Not sure who's in the panel next to us - two guys from a band? tags:billboard

Same goes for the next three panels, I think these are all just people that Ellen cast for the shoot. tags:billboard

I know everyone in these panels! Missy, kissing a dog! And Jack Black and Kyle Gass! tags:jack black

Three more panels of randos! tags:billboard

And here's the last three panels. The proof she sent us showed that all the panels would be made into one huge sign that would be put on the front of MTV's studios right underneath where they film TRL. tags:billboard

In mid-December, Meredith and I started getting emails "Uh, are you guys on a Billboard in Times Square?" so we hopped on the subway to see ourselves for ourselves. Look! There we are! Random! tags:billboard

Thursday, November 9th
On Thursday we were dog-sitting Edie again and we decided to introduce her to Ratso. Edie was interested, but kept a skeptical distance. tags:edie

She came in for a closer look... tags:edie
meredith

...but when I lifted Ratso up so she could get a closer look... tags:me

...she ran away and hid behind Meredith! Hahaha. I love how you can just see her beady little eyes peeking up over Mer's shoulder. tags:edie

How could you be scared of this face? tags:ratso
Eventually Edie got over her shyness... tags:edie
hiding
...and they made friends. (And by "friends" I mean Edie prodded Ratso in the a-hole with her nose). tags:edie

This is my favorite photo of Edie ever! Because you can see how silky and shiny and how long and wiener-y she is! tags:edie

Friday, November 10th
My parents were coming into town the next night to celebrate my mom's birthday so I spend Friday night getting ready by making mom a birthday cake. tags:me

Double-decker Angel Food Cake! tags:cake

AND chocolate chip cookies! Who loves mom more than me? tags:cake
Then I went out super-late to catch the tail end of a bunch of my friends who were DJing at a bar called Revolver. Revolver is supposed to be some kind of rock club, but it's always packed pretty much exclusively with people from Staten Island and New Jersey who come into the city to "party" on Friday and Saturday nights. (This is actually kind of impressive when you consider that it's pretty far off the beaten path.) tags:sarah
In other words, it's filled with girls who think that "going out" in "The City" means dressing up like this. (Thanks a lot, Carrie Bradshaw). tags:b_and_t
strangers
Hahaha. tags:brandon
And who think it's totally acceptable to just hop on on the bar and "boogie." (Thanks for that, Joe Francis). tags:b_and_t

On Saturday night my parents came into town to go out to dinner to celebrate my mom's birthday! tags:mom

Friday, November 17th
On Friday night Meredith and I went to the Beacon with a bunch of my co-workers to see Russell Peters perform stand up. It was awesome. (He's notable for being the friendliest racist comic). Latest special is here if you're interested. tags:russell peters
Saturday, November 18th
Saturday night I went to MisShapes and I ran into Jamie who was there celebrating her birthday! Here's Nina with the birthday girl! tags:jamie

My friend Tavis (who's an incredible illustrator, buy one of his prints!) was in town from Toronto. I went out and met up with him and his buddy for drinks. tags:tavis coburn
Then afterwards, I went over to Pianos for Karaoke. tags:goldteeth

Right after I arrived, Timmy went up to sing... tags:timmy williams

Wednesday, November 22nd
On Wednesday night I took the train out to New Jersey for Thanksgiving! I went to The Barn (the bar in my town where everyone goes every year hoping to see other high school classmates) but for some reason, this is the only I have of the night! WTF? Here's Adam Padfield and Rachael! tags:adam p
rachael
Afterwards, Rachael and I went to the Roxbury Diner (which is what they re-named the VICTORIA DINER when the Hatzimihalis family sold it). Renaming our high school landmark is one thing, but the new owners took things a step-further and made every item on the menu Roxbury-themed as well. The Route 10 Rancher? The Succasunny Sombrero? C'mon! tags:menu
Sir L.E.O. of Ledgewood? Jesus. tags:menu
Rachael does not approve. tags:rachael

Edie came out to New Jersey for Thanksgiving with me! (Leigh was away and we were dog-sitting!). When I got home from the diner... tags:edie
...I smashed her face! tags:edie

Friday, November 24th
Something must've happened where I accidentally deleted a bunch of pictures because I don't have ANY photos from Thanksgiving! Boo! But moving on, here's a picture of the happiest dog you've ever seen. tags:edie

Saturday, November 25th
Here's me wearing (and Edie running away from!) a cougar costume! Meredith ordered this because she needed to make a giant, animatronic cougar that gives hugs for graduate school. (Yes, I'm serious! The finished product was called "Canoodling Cougar!") tags:edie

Gotcha! tags:edie

Then later that night Meredith and I went out and met Nina and Peter for drinks. tags:meredith

On Sunday a whole bunch of us met up for brunch in honor of Matt finally returning to NYC after almost a year of constant touring! Welcome back, buddy! tags:matt

While on tour, he grew a jazz pony tail... tags:matt

...and JEW HORNS! tags:matt
horns
Meredith has them too! Note: Those aren't really their Jew horns - those were just horns that were mounted on the wall behind Matt and Meredith. (Besides, everybody knows that Jew-horns are short and knobby so that they can easily be hidden under hats). tags:meredith
horns
Sunday night I went to Irving Plaza to see... tags:band
texas is the reason
...the third and FINAL Texas is the Reason reunion show! (This was one of my most favorite bands back in the mid-90s). The show was incredible. So good to finally hear those songs live 10 years later! tags:band

Wednesday, November 29th
On Wednesday night I went to Paper Magazine's nightlife awards ... tags:paper magazine
...because Sarah and Karen were both nominated in a few categories. tags:paper magazine
There were bottles and bottles of free vodka which, inevitably, means there are photos like... tags:vodka
