a person in 770 photos ellen On the way home we stopped for gas... Snack table. Post-midnight Cranium session = strictly for the hardcore. Ellen, Matt and Mer! Later that night we met up with for a late dinner at Black Market! We stuffed the dogs in bags... Satisfied treat customer. Meredith made an AMAZING mushroom risotto for dinner. Double-stacked buddies. Haha. Back home. Later that afternoon, we took all the dogs over to the park and there was a special surprise waiting there for Maddy... On Saturday we were dogsitting Amber's dog, Charlie. Ellen came over to add Piper to the dog mix. Make a wish! Happy birthday, Gurj! On Saturday we finally felt settled into our new place enough to invite people over for a little Saturday night boardgame get-together. Ellen, Josh, pale-faced post-puke me and Matt on our way out of the party. Congrants on LA, Gideon! Sorry I barfed on your roof! Happy April 2010! It was a pretty great house party. I mixed way too much booze with way too much weed and ended up puking on the roof at 2am. All of Gideon's stuff had already been sent ahead to LA already so he'd been camping in the bedroom. Haha. Josh was in town and came and met us. Pauly, Kaitie, Mer, Ellen and two other party peoples. Oh yeah, free Bloody Marys too. Ellen , Piper and Mer. Here, add spices! Later that night, Ellen came over and we had a make-your-own pizza party! After the planetarium, we went back to our apartment and got a feast delivered and hung out. Wooo! Satisfied fans of science and lasers. And a Snuggie. Haha. Ellen loves Left-eye and Limehand. Yes! Thanks again, Ellen! That was an AMAZING surprise! On Monday night Karen, Sarah, Ellen, Mer and I went to the Comedy Cellar because Ellen had all scored us free tickets to attend... NO HANDFACE. In other news, Leigh discovered that Piper doesn't like HANDFACE one bit! I left the game-watching crowd in the living room to check out what was going on in the office. Me, Mark, Ellen and Mer. Ellen and me. Happy Birthday, Ellen! Birthday-girl abuse! Pre-show warm up. Birthday girl. A whole bunch of us met up at Matt's apartment to sing happy birthday to Ellen and have some cake before heading crosstown to the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater to see a show. Make a wish Ellen! Hiding horse happiness. CRANIUM TRIUMPH BELONGS TO US! Here's us putting Ellen up for our big victory photo.
Team 2: Mark, Ellen and myself went with "Party, No Relax." Here's me, Ellen and Mark going for the win. Surf, puppet! Surf! Haha. On Friday night, we had a bunch of people over our place to play Cranium. Look, it's a dog...with a bow tie! Just a party speed bump. We got into an elevator at the Tribeca Grand and the doors closed before we spotted... Crosstown. Ellen and Mer. Ellen's hairy upper lip is so creepertastic. Ellen & Sar. Bonus points for eating snacks IN the store. After the show we stopped at a bodega to pick up some treats. Kaitie, Ellen, Marina, Meredith. Ellen sums up her feelings about the guys that tried to dance with her. Haha. Karla and Niki's trays of assorted goodies were a little unwieldy on the dance floor. Sarah, Karla, Niki, Kaitie and Ellen. I love this photo! We took a cab to... A little before 1am, we finally decide to head out into the Saturday night Halloween fray. (Meredith decided to stay in!). I like dressing up, but I don't really like all the planning and buying stuff that's involved in dressing up. So more often than not, I'll revert to a last-minute halloween costume with whatever's lying around. Perfect! After I finished borrowing Ellen's eyeliner, she touched up her slutty 80s rocker make up! Cleavage makes the costume! On Saturday evening, Sarah, Ellen and Kaitie came over for some Halloween pre-gaming at our place. And, if I remember correctly, I think Ellen was an "eighties glam metal slut?" Get her up there! (I love how Ellen's part of the hoisting team!) Who, little old me? Dance floor recovery zone. Hahaha. Scott attacked Matt with a vicious shimmy. Ellen and Mer! (If you look in the background, you can see Sarah and Leigh busy queuing up a POWER HOUR!) A couple of minutes later, Meredith was up in the chair for Hava Nagila... Ellen, Gary, Marina are laughing at me hoisted up in a chair during Hava Nagila (you can see my shoe in the bottom of the frame). (Scott, Mr. Little!) Leigh, Ellen & Mer. Matt, Mandy, Ellen and Amanda! Ellen, Mandy, Matt and Missy. Winky Scott, Leigh and Ellen. Yay! Let's hear it for all the last minute cancellations that led to a this table of awesomeness! Ellen, Matt and Sarah. ...Ellen and Matt! Full house! After the show we walked all the way back downtown and stopped for sushi at somewhere we'd never been. ...Ellen had bought tickets to go see Phoenix! Thanks, Ellen! Thanks so much for letting me crash at your place, Ellen! Love you! Ellen was so sad for the bear. Awwww. Piper trying her hardest to walk through the long, shag carpet. Haha. I said my farewell, and left Tarrytown to head back to Ellen's house.... Babes. Later that night, Ellen, Mandy... Ellen, Ray, Jenny, Josh, Michael and Mandy. Ellen! On Wednesday night Ellen came over to hang. ...and got sprayed in the hair with silly string NOT FOR USE AT CLOSE RANGE. Then the rest of the brunch party-goers began arriving. Hope it doesn't rain. TP Ladies and the Bride to Be. Here's everyone TP dress together!
