After work on Tuesday night, I walked over to the Grammercy Theater to see Jared's band play! Here's Jared fresh off the road with Gurj before the show.
Later that afternoon, we went to some place on Clinton Street for brunch. I love candid brunch shots. Look at Gurj's adorable little smile! She's so happy with her pancakes!
Because hey, karaoke! Here's Gurj and an awesomely red-faced Lawrence. Happy Birthday! This was the second karaoke birthday party that Karaoke Killed the Cat hosted. The first one I'd been to was in 2006 and it was epic.
We got off the A train at Canal Street and walked across town to Vegetarian Dim Sum House. This place is incredible. Even if you're not a vegetarian, I encourage you to check it out. (C'mon, it's not like you even know what's usually in them anyway, right?)
....obligatory photos of everyone jumping at the beach! Yay! Take One: Gurj, Scott and Amanda have amazing form in this pic. Sarah, however, failed to achieve lift off.
Hahaha. The subway was underground for a long time so when it finally came back up to the surface, the ladies abandoned their reading materials to text on their Sidekicks! Ha! (I was going to say that they were all sending tweets but this was two years ago and I don't think any of them were using Twitter yet! Things are changing faster and faster!)
On Monday night around 11pm, I got a text from Gurj that her good friend Fran was in town from the UK and they were at 2nd on 2nd singing karaoke and that my presence was requested.
We started walking over to Sarah's house at 5:30. I secretly texted the party and told them that we were on the way and that anyone who was there from out of town should go up on to the roof and hide for a while so that Meredith wouldn't get tipped off to the fact that something was up!
Meredith out of nowhere: CANDY BRA NOM NOM NOM! Hahaha. I love Gurj's expression in this photo so much. It's totally due to the fact that Meredith is FULL ON cupping her entire right boob and it makes me LOL every time I look at it.
After the show, I went back to Sarah's place and right after we got there, Gurj, who'd been away for weeks and weeks, got back. Look how excited these two are to be reunited!
Hahah. Mandy tries to help liberate Meredith and Gurj from their shackles! (PS - I love the shitty look the girl in the background is giving them. Hahahah).
Gurj was there showing off her "napkin trick" where you use a hidden knife to make the napkin look like it's dancing. Gurj is the fucking QUEEN of this move. She is like a professional Napkin Illusionist.
Brad was there taking photos and we hammed it up for him. 'Reserved' Sign + Crotch + Two Pretty Ladies Pointing at Crotch + David Brent Face = Comedy GOLD.
After the Annex, I headed over to Angels & Kings for last call to say hi to Nina and Gurj. (By the way, Nina just launched a website for her new jewelry collection, and I have to say, I'm really, really impressed! Make sure to check it out!)
...and it was totally apparent that the girl had a big crush on the boy and was just WAITING for him to make a move. Check her out here caught in the midst of an "OMG, you're SO FUNNY!" face.
Hahaha. Check out Quinn and Gurj laughing in this photo. So great. Despite the girl's totally slutty trolling-for-a-poling boots and almost 30 minutes of all of us repeatedly yelling out "Kiss her! What the fuck, kiss her!," the dude never got up the gumption to make a move and the girl's friends (who were also watching this whole thing go down) eventually came over at and dragged her away. Booooo!
