Here are all the photos I took during the second half of June 2008 that didn't make it into their own entry.
Saturday, June 14th
After a crazy-late night at Hanger Bar the previous night, here's me after 2 hours of sleep all dressed up in a cab on the way to Merdith's cousin's wedding in Brooklyn. tags:me

Not only was this guy's outfit amazing (he looked like a villain in a video game or something), but he had a monogrammed backpack that made me LOL. Here's me trying to quietly sneak up behind him to get a better photo. tags:backpack

On Friday evening I stopped by David K's apartment and we hung out a bit. On the way home, I met his next door neighbor who was outside walking her pet bunny rabbit! A-dorable. tags:bunny
Way later on in the night, I went over to Hanger Bar because this adorable baby-moron was DJing (a 90s party, I think?). tags:sarah

On the way to the bathroom I heard what sound like shenanigans coming from behind a half-wall that was propped up to hide a storage closet so I stuck my camera over the wall to do a photojournalistic investigation. Secret make out SCOOP! tags:hanger bar

This is probably the best beach hair I've ever had. It makes me want to get a body-wave perm so bad. tags:me

After a lengthy post-beach nap, I headed out to Williamsburg to some bar (because a band was playing? Someone was DJing?). tags:brooke

My main man Vin was there. I kept trying to get us both to make ganster faces like we usually do... tags:me

IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE! This poor girl walked past me thinking she was my friend Sarah, I ran up behind her on the dance floor and started grinding all up in her booty from behind like POW! So I'm about 10 seconds into my booty dance when suddenly, the girl who is most-definitely NOT my friend Sarah turns around and just looks at me like, "Seriously?"
Instead of trying to explain, I ran away, went across the bar, found Sarah, dragged her across the bar and was like "THIS IS WHO I THOUGHT YOU WERE AND I'M SO SORRY!" Hahaha. Then I took this photo! Twinsies! (Sorry that you had to be subjected to the way I dance with all my poor female friends!) tags:sarah

We left the other bar around 3am and headed down the street to Rosemary's Greenpoint Tavern (so that we could get even drunker). tags:lisa

Well, actually - I think Zoe was pretty sober. Lisa, Pauly and me were full-on shithammered at this point. tags:lisa

Us three drunk ones all ordered "big beers" which are 32oz styrofoam cups of beer that completely cover your entire face when you drink out of them. Hahaha. tags:lisa

You think after getting so drunk on "big beers" that I french-kissed a senior citizen on my birthday back in 2003, I would've learned my lesson. But, NOPE! tags:me

Grant was in town visiting from he and Aki's new home in Whistler, BC (that's in Canada) so we all went over to Fatty's for a backyard BBQ! Here's David, Grant and the Fatty (who's clearly getting ready to do something inappropriate/gay with that ear of corn). tags:david kreitman
