Here are the first half of the photos I took in October that didn't end up in an entry of their very own
Monday, October 1st
On Monday afternoon, the Margarita Man, who was in town from the Jerz (of course), told me that once I "tried him I'd never go back." Whatever that means! tags:margarita man

Later that evening, Meredith and I went uptown to meet up with her parents and take her father out for a celebratory birthday dinner! tags:me

Happy Birthday, Chuck! tags:mr silverman

When we got back to our apartment, we found that the floor in our living room had been marked up to be opened up! Our landlord's taxes turned out to be way higher than he expected, so he needed to turn our apartment and the one below us into one uber-apartment in order to reduce the number of occupancies in the building! We debated trying to find people to share our new duplex with, but in the end we decided to just find a new apartment. Sad! tags:239 e 7th

On Wednesday night, Meredith and I went to Bowery Ballroom to see... tags:me

Sarah was there and we danced right up against the stage like we were a bunch of tweens.
If you look to the left of Brandon, you'll notice the bartender that was out on stage making drinks for the band while they played. tags:band
nightmare of you
In between songs, the band would call out the drinks that they wanted and the bartender would have them made and delivered one song later.
Look at these two! tags:meredith

After the show, we went over to Home Sweet Home for the after party! tags:brandon

Meredith will applaud the slightest hint of man-on-man action. tags:meredith

And then somehow Casey's shirt came off? I guess he got a little hot and sweaty man-carrying Ryan around the dance floor. tags:brandon

On a pipe in the back of the bar, someone spotted a Black Face Jesus sticker! Holy shit! Whatever happened to that guy? tags:black face jesus

Brooke packed up Ryan's bass and then subtly signaled to him that it was time to go home and "take care of business." tags:brooke

Heading home at 2am on a Wednesday night because you've got work in the moring = you are a pussy in Chris Black's book. Haha. tags:chris black

Goodnight, Bran! Great show! tags:brandon

Thursday, October 4th
On Thursday afternoon we came home and found a giant hole cut into the middle of our living room! Construction to turn our apartment and the one below into a giant duplex by adding a spiral staircase had begun! tags:239 e 7th

Later that night I saw the most disturbing disclaimer I've ever seen at the end of a commercial for prescription medicine! "The way VERAMYST works is not entirely understood." Whaaaaaat? tags:commercial

wtf
Friday, October 5th
On Friday, someone's friend brought their TATTOO GUN into work and a bunch of my co-worker's got spur of the moment tattoos! Richard went with the old fingerstache and pretty much spent the next 3 weeks walking around with his finger over his lip just like this photo. Hahaha. tags:richard spear

Later that night I went up to the roof of the Maritime Hotel to celebrate...
...Miye's birthday! tags:me

Check out the sick view! That's the Hudson River and behind that you can see the lights of Jersey twinkling in the distance.
Dana, (Dana's Boyfriend?) and the birthday girl! tags:dana dynamite

Monday, October 8th
On Monday night, a whole bunch of us went to a pizza-party that Grant had organized to introduce all his friends to Aki, his new girlfriend that had just moved to NYC. Here's Meredith, Cat and Maureen chowing down on pizza! After the pizza was finished... tags:catrinel

...we moved the party over to Pianos for some karaoke. Here's Grant and Aki getting ready to sing a duet! tags:aki

This guy's name is Michael Scheiner and he is the new karaoke king of New York City as far as I'm concerned. He always sings old Prince jams or songs by Mary J (for seriously) and blows the doors off them every time. tags:michael scheiner

Amanda got and the mic... tags:amanda

...and totally destroyed something by Heart (was it Alone?). tags:amanda

Monday, October 8th
On Monday I met up with Matt and we headed over to Arlene's Grocery for... tags:matt
...heavy metal / punk rock karaoke with a live band! tags:live band karaoke
Check out the blond girl! She kept coming up on the stage and grinding up against whomever was singing like a 80s music video vixen. It was epic. tags:live band karaoke
Check out the guitar player gawking at her! That's pretty much the same expression I had on my face too. Haha. tags:live band karaoke
I'm not sure how old this guy is, but whenever I get to be his age my only hope is that I'm still rocking as hard as he is. (Except, my hope would be to rock this hard while looking less like a homeless Ted Nugent.)
Amanda and Scott showed up just in time for... tags:amanda
scott ward

...the big grand finale where everybody in the entire place tries to crowd up onto the stage and sing! tags:live band karaoke
It was awesome! tags:live band karaoke
Check out the Arlene's shrine: It's the Buddha getting down with KISS and half-naked Barbies! tags:buddha
Tuesday, October 9th
On Tuesday after work, I went around and checked out a few apartments. The places I saw were all decent, but there wasn't any place where I was like "We HAVE to live here."
When I got back to our place, I was greeted by this friendly, turkey-boned visitor! Leigh had dropped off Edie for a couple of days while she was traveling! tags:edie
dogs
This is one of my favorite Edie pics because you can really see how long and weinery her weird body is! It also does an excellent job of showcasing her turkey-bone which you can see jutting out at what is pretty much a right-angle from the rest of her body! tags:edie
dogs
Later that night I went out to Brooklyn and grabbed dinner with Ross! tags:me

Wednesday, October 10th
Waiting for the freight elevator to come down so that I can take my bike up into work. Not very exciting, I know. But sometimes I just take pictures of the boring mundane things I do every day because it helps me remember what that time in my life was like. So, there you go. tags:bike

Thursday, October 11th
Not sure what I did on Thursday because I left my camera at home! Murdo and Meredith hung out and took lots of pics on my camera. From what I can gather, it looks like they did some drinking... tags:murdo

...and then had graham crackers with peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and Nutella. tags:marshmallow
peanut butter
Er, at least I hope that was Nutella. tags:meredith

Then they took adorable photos of our rats all snuggled up in their cage. tags:ratso
