Friday was Philips birthday! Here's me sneaking up on him with a lit cake while he was on the phone with a client.

Happy Birthday!

Licking the birthday candle never looked so wrong.

Later that night, we had a dinner on my parents porch and my mom brough out a birthday cake for me. She forgot to get birthday candles, so instead she substituted this 18" decorative candle that she found unused in a candlestick on the kitchen table. Hahaha.

When I was younger, I thought that by the time I reached 28 I'd be grown-up enough to not think that taking Tic-tacs and using them to pretend you have buck teeth is something that's still funny. Go figure.

Mint chocolate chip tofu ice cream with a candle. (Later on in the night, I went out to for a birthday dinner at a fancy steakhouse, but somehow I fucked up and lost those pictures. Argh!)

August 07, 2004

Later that afternoon the ladies took me to Red Bamboo for some vegetarian soul food. (Most likely, because unbeknownst to me, I was being taken to a steakhouse for my birthday dinner and this gave the two vegetarians a chance to fill up!).

August 07, 2004

Leigh said I could have anything I wanted for my birthday. So I told her I wanted to see her try on the "I Heart NY" t-shirt I had bought for my friend Ross and Jordana's son Dashle for his first birthday. (They moved away before I got a chance to give it to him and by the time I saw them again, he'd outgrown - or so I thought until I saw Leigh manage to squirm her way into it).

...and some dolphin/peace sign fake tattoo arm bands to go with my pendand "Just to make it easier for me to fit in." Hahaha.

August 07, 2004

Leigh got me both seasons of The Office on DVD...

August 07, 2004

I hit the back office to grab Leigh and given a special "Happy Birthday / Sorry You're Going to Have to Live with Hippies in San Francisco" survival kit. She wrapped everything in a wicker basket that she explained was "perfect for dirty hippie picnics in the park with homeless people." Hahaha. (Bonus points awarded for the "Peace Frog" sticker and eagle-talon holding a crystal ball necklace.

August 07, 2004

Here's the group doing the obligatory shot of Brennevin (the nasty liquor that I still have a huge surplus of from my trip to Iceland) before leaving the house.

July 24, 2004

Afterwards, we headed over to Misshapes and gave the birthday girl some flowers (I even picked ones that would match her dress. Awwww).

July 24, 2004

A week earlier Leigh had asked me if I'd be one of the DJs at her party. I was like "Uh, I don't know how to DJ, remember?" She was all "You don't have to beat-match and shit. Just bring a bunch of songs that you think will get people dancing. I'll take you over early and show you how to use the decks. It'll take twenty minutes." True to her word, she picked me up in a cab a few hours before her party was set to start, took me over to Luke and Leroy's (Here's the bday girl pulling a face)...

July, 2004

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEIGH! Monday was Tinny's official birthday and I took her out for vegan treats at Red Bamboo. Just because it's a seitan Philly cheesesteak doesn't mean she can't make carnivorous faces while she tears into it.

June 26, 2004

Sarah kept her occupied upstairs and we managed to sneak up and surprise her!

June 26, 2004

Around 2am, I snuck into the back office and helped prepare the cake the Sarah and the Misshapes kids had gotten for Karen.

Here's Siege at the end of our meal enjoying his "baked potato trailer park ice cream cake." Happy Birthday, you fucking twisted freak .

March, 2004

Our cab-van showed shortly after that and ushered us to safety! Happy Birthday Siege!

February 28, 2004

I had Siege climb up and stand on top of the dumpster out front so he could pose with their faaaaaaaaancy marquis.

February 28, 2004

Siege's mom sent up this King Cake from New Orleans. Every King Cake has a little plastic baby baked into it (which leads me to believe you can't be sued for negligence in the state of Louisiana) - if you get the piece of cake that has the baby - you win a prize. And in the case of Siege's birthday party, that prize would be a lapdance from the girl of your choice at...drumroll please...

"...GAY!" The best thing about Greenpoint Tavern is...

February 28, 2004

After the screening, I headed back into Brooklyn to celebrate Siege's birthday! (Grant cried about being tired from moving all day and went home leaving me to go alone). Here's Katie and the birthday boy unwrapping presents at the Greenpoint Tavern.

Ok, ok - not Britney Spears, but a really good Britney Spears lookalike.

December 19, 2003

Hahahaha. He looks like he's doing the "Happy Snoopy" dance.

December 19, 2003

Hahaha. Ross telling wifey to beat it (*Bonus points to Jordana for pulling the "You're in trouble" face that eventually inspired Dashiell's infamous "Whatchoo talking 'bout, Willis?" look

December 19, 2003

Ross has a Philip Roth-esque crush on everyone's favorite pop shiksa, so Jord thought it would be funny to have Britney come perform a lil' birthday dance for the birthday man.

December 19, 2003

And then, fearing he didn't look "surprised enough" in the above photo, he posed for this "I'm REALLY surprised" photo.

December 19, 2003

Here's Jord's cousin Steve up on stage wishing Ross a happy 30th birthday and welcoming a special guest to the party...

Check out the morning-after hickey damage compliments of Hoover Sharkey. Happy Birthday Grant!

November 07, 2003

We got to the bar almost on time only to discover that the entire front of the bar is one big plate-glass window - which sorta ruined the surprise factor. So as soon as Grant passed the window, the jig was up. Here's Zara, Grant, Lo and Jordana (who came was in town from LA visiting her in-laws in the deerrrrrrty Jerz).

November 07, 2003

And there was even a surprise visit from our good friend...shit, what's this guy's name again? I can't even remember. Seriously, if you read this David Forman, you're a dick. A big, not-returning-my-phone-calls dick. Last time this kid talked to me was to ask me to help him with his video Valentine's Day gift...which I spent like five hours on. Haven't heard a peep from him since. Dick, dick, dick. Holy Jesus Marymotherofgod, what a dick. (I still love you, though. So for fuck's sake call me if you see this, shitcock. Ok?)

November 07, 2003

As you can tell by his face in this photo, Grant knew something was up. Emma and Lo called as planned, but dinner was taking too long. As I kept trying to rush things along, Grant kept saying things like "Why the rush? Why are we in such a hurry?" All smarmy-like.
