Here's Chris and Fatty back at my apartment getting ready to head back to their respective homes - so ends our journey.

Between the three of us that had cameras, we managed to take just over 2,000 pictures which I edited down to 21 entries comprised of exactly 790 photos. And so it's with these last few words that I end the European Vacation Series (which is by far, the longest diary project I've ever undertaken). Back to life in NYC!

Here's Fatty later on that night at my place checking his JDate email one last time. Because Fatty's like one of three Jewish guys on the site that's taller than six foot and has all his hair, the kid gets more emails than he knows what to do with.

On Sunday afternoon, Grant left my apartment (where he'd been temporarily staying a few days) to head to California until March. First, he'd be in LA for a few weeks to film a TV pilot and then for a few months up at our friends' ranch in northern California near Yosemite to finish up a book he's been working on. So long, lil' buddy. Faretheewell. These streets just won't be the same without your silly accent and DLR kicks. But somehow, we'll try to get *sniffle* by.

I got home to find Tara hanging out in my apartment and wearing my underwear. Hey, you'd be hiding your face too if I'd caught you drinking drinking a wine cooler! Cuh-lassy! Hahaha

Back at my apartment, we lit a ton of candles and hung out in the kitchen with Victoria; listening to the radio and trying to learn more about when the power might come back on.

Maybe it's because the time is now 9:34pm (on the same day) and Grant's already given up on the fast. Yep, that's right - Mr. IBetcha Fivehundreddollars was able to go without food for exactly 9 hours and 58 minutes. (And then making the story even better, a few weeks later Grant confessed that he had snuck a cookie earlier in the afternoon. Hahahah).

Oh, and what's this? Is that Grant at my house a few short hours later with a bag of three dollar Chinese food in front of him? Why's he covering his face? Why's he doing that? Hmmm...

Around 2am, the party started winding down (cut us some slack, it was a Wednesday!)...

Around midnight the party was in full effect and... (on to Part Two, trust me, it gets good.)

My living room at 11pm. Not a bad turn out for a Wednesday, eh? Who woulda thunk?

People started showing up around 9ish and by 10pm the place was already starting to fill up (as evidenced by this shot of my living room).

Around 10:30, the living room was getting over-crowded and people started spilling into the guest bedroom (Big Daddy, Fatty and Sarah pimp by the window).

The party was during Fleet Week and these two sailors wandered in off the street and asked if they could stay and hang out. We were happy to oblige. (By the way, how great is the light up flag in the background?).

Vin and Allison slept over in my guest bedroom - and someone, Vin I think managed to snap this late night picture of me being a dork and working on this very site. That's right ladies and gents, that desk is where it all goes down.

...and after over a year of living in my place I finally got around to buying some curtains for my gi-normous windows.
