This picture was taken on March 4th after midnight which means that it was technically taken on MEREDITH'S BIRTHDAY!!! WOOOOO! Happy 26th Birthday, Gorgeous! I love you! She didn't really feel up to going out on a Saturday night (the Lower East Side on a Saturday night = Guido Nightmare), so we had a nice, quiet birthday celebration in her apartment.
...I think it's safe to say that Meredith and my TEAM UGLY FACE prevailed. The best thing about "UGLY FACE" is that it usually always leads to you making friends with people who overhear you laughing and are like "Yo, what the FUCK are you guys doing?" And then after you explain their like "Oh..."
Next stop on the "It's Siege's Birthday!" party train? Pumps! (For those of you not in the know, Pumps is a shady-ass biker-gang n00dy bar out in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The people at the bar aren't typically too welcoming to "outsiders," but they tolerated us because we showed up with a whole bunch of girls who were all willing to get up on stage and dance! Hahah. Here's Ellen and Katie up on THA POLE!
Here's a group shot of a whole bunch of us waiting for a car service to show up to take us to the "next location!" By the way, what's that Nina's doing to KT over there in the corner?
Than I give you one! Eventually Meredith tried to move from "kissy stamp" game to the "let's you and I go make out in the corner" game and Sarah panicked! She ran over to me on the verge of tears and said something like "Tell your girlfriend I think she's cute, but that I'M A CATHOLIC! I can't do this!" and then ran out of the bar. Hahahaha.
And last but not least, a fancy carrying case for her new laptop! (And yes, I really do have a girlfriend that gets totally stoked about getting a laptop bag for Valentine's Day! I win!). Happy Valentine's Day, gorgeous!
How lame is it that I don't even have a picture of Niki considering that a) it was her birthday party and b) she is my roommate? Meredith and Ellen maxed and relaxed on my bed...
...and then Meredith and I went out to meet up with Mr. David Kreitman for a few quiet drinks in the neighborhood. Afterwards, Mer ended up heading home and David and I...
On Saturday, Meredith went out with Christine and tried to make out with her but every time Meredith would make a move, Christine would pull frat-dude moves like this one. Hahahah. (Photo by Meredith).
Then as more people started to arrive, we moved out into the living room and set up Dance Dance Revolution! I'd even gone out a few days earlier and bought a second "dance pad" so that two people could go head-to-head in a competitive DANCE OFF! Here's Meredith and Grant squaring off.
Meredith got The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (which is, hand DOWN, the worst movie of all time. It's one of those movies that would usually be so bad that it's good, but this one goes so far, that it veered back around to being bad again) and Back Door to Heaven.
Later Sunday night, me, Meredith, John, Ellen and Leigh all shared a cab to go Smith's night. In order to sneak all five of us into the same cab, Leigh had to lay down on everybody's lap and hide from the driver. Here's the sneaky "Look! Four people in the backseat!" photo I took from the front seat. Hahah.
Even further across the park, are some interactive sculptures! This piece had a bunch of heavy rubber-mallets laying all over the place and could use them to wack the sculpture in different places and it would resonate in all sorts of weird ways. It was really neat.
