Here are all the pics I took in April 2008 that didn't end up in an entry of their own!
Sunday, March 30th
Sunday was my first day back after my whirlwind, two-week solo-trip to Egypt! tags:me

I spent most of it on the couch with Mer watching movies (Trading Places!) and eating treats! It's good to be home. tags:stuytown apt

On Monday, March 31st I started my new job at Yodle as the Director of Product. tags:yodle
Yodle helps service-based local businesses get new clients by advertising online (think doctors, lawyers, locksmiths, landscapers). I've been there almost two years and the 60-person company I joined has expanded into five offices and almost 400 employees! Holy moly! tags:yodle

On Tuesday morning, my new PADI certification diving card arrived in the mail! tags:license
And springtime arrived in New York City. Here's the first flowering buds on the trees in Stuyvesant Town while I was out running errands! tags:flower

On Thursday night I went Team Gallery for the opening of Ryan McGinley's latest show.
tags:art
crowd
The show was called I Know Where The Summer Goes... tags:ryan mcginley

...and it featured photographs from the summer Ryan spent in a van driving around the country with a bunch of kids, getting naked, running all over beautiful landscapes and taking photos of them celebrating their youth. I loved 'em. tags:ryan mcginley

On the way in, I ran into Amy K, who I hadn't seen (and still haven't seen) in a million years! tags:amy k
me
And I also ran into this guy who recognized me from reading the site and came up and said hello! We laughed about the fact that this photo wouldn't actually be online for another TWO YEARS and how I would most likely forget his name by then. (Correct on both accounts!). Nice to meet you! Hope you see this and laugh! tags:me

The opening was totally mobbed. (But apparently Ryan's shows keep getting bigger and bigger. Exactly two years later, in March 2010, Ryan just had the opening for his new show at the same gallery and it was so crowded that they had to call the fire department. Check out this photo of the crowd filling the street outside the gallery! Insanity.) tags:art

On the way out, Amy, Jesse and I congratulated Ryan's nose on all his success! tags:amy k

After the show, I went and met up with Amanda and Scott and we had a tasty dinner (at L'asso?). tags:amanda

After dinner, this one joined us... tags:leigh

Then at 2am I apparently got pizza again. Good thing I took photos so I'd remember all this, huh? tags:door

On Sunday afternoon I came home from running around to find Meredith sitting at the kitchen table wearing sunglasses indoors and filing glass cups with a DREMEL? tags:meredith

Turns out the special "glass-cutter" she'd order from the interweb had shown up... tags:crafts
...and Meredith was taking bottles she'd saved, cutting them in half, sanding their rough edges smooth and turning them into drinking glasses for our apartment. Hahahaha. LOVE. tags:meredith

On Friday night I went over to my buddy Jared's house to get my pre-game on! tags:jared

Jared used to be the lead singer of Group Sounds (a NYC band known best for getting naked on stage) and now he runs a jingle house in NYC that's BLOWING UP called Jingle Punks. Here's Jared playing one of his new tunes for the crowd. tags:jared

We went to some party around the corner that was in a bar with a really great photo booth. Check out the kid on the right: Countdown to Wet WillY...in THREE....TWO....ONE... tags:photobooth
....WET WILLY! tags:photobooth
A little after midnight I bade farewell to Jared and Sexy Joe and their friends and went over to the Annex to see a couple bands play. tags:annex
Ellen, Katie and Amanda were all there. (Amanda the fact that I can hear you say the phrase "Oooooh" whenever I look at this photo makes me LOL). tags:amanda

Later on that night, they had some kind of art show where they kept projecting huge illustrations of people on the wall. Then, a bunch of people we know started coming up. Like Leigh! Haha. They'd show a drawing of the person... tags:leigh
art
...then, a whole 'nother set of LASERS would sear the air and...
...project their name over the illustration. tags:leigh
Then it was Geordon! tags:geordon
GEORDON NICOL! Every time a name appeared I'd say it outloud in a MONSTER TRUCK ANNOUNCER VOICE! (Much to the horror of the people around me. Hey, what can I say - that's what happens when you show me art at a bar at midnight on a Friday).
THOMAS ORONATOOOOOOOOO! tags:thomas o

On Saturday night, Meredith and I (and our 80 year-old neighbor Mama Zandi!) went up to Meredith's parents house for Passover Dinner. tags:mama zandi

On Monday afternoon I ducked out of work for a bit to meet up with Laure! Laure and I met in the summer of 2003 when Grant and I were on assignment for Nerve.com trying to Use Pickup Lines at the Ford Model Party. Hahaha. She was in town from Paris working on a movie and we got together and caught up! tags:laure

Later that night I ran into Sarah and her friend. tags:isabella

Friday morning in Stuytown. Spring has sprung!
tags:stuytown
My new job has sales guys that keep track of their sales with magnet boards just like in the movies. COFFEE'S FOR CLOSERS! tags:yodle
Friday night Vin and I went to sick loft party in Tribeca. We walked through the door into the living room and we met with... tags:vin
...a dance-party explosion! The source? Look directly under the disco ball and peep DJ Matty Matt on the decks in the other room! Hahaha! tags:matty matt

On the walk home I saw this box and it made me LOL. Why is PILLOW in quotation marks? It seems so shady. No, sir I did not say this was a pillow sale. This is clearly a "pillow" sale! Now, good day! tags:box

April showers making things day-glo green. tags:stuytown
On Monday night, I was going to some party at Bowery Electric with Posh Tony. My friend Miye was nearby and planned to meet up with us - but Miye ended up feeling sick and instead sent her crazy friend Buanao (who I love!) over to meet us. Then, right when we got there, we also randomly ran into Xiomara who I hadn't seen in YEARS! tags:buanao

Hahaha. So here we all are. Posh Tony, Buanao, Buanao's friend whose name I forget (sorry!), and Xio. tags:posh tony

The next day I got the following message from Miye at 4:35pm: "How late were u guys out? Buanao can't remember anything! I have been in bed all day 102 fever." Hahaha. Happy April 2008!
