Then at the end of the night Sarah paid up for losing the $40 bet we'd made about whether or not she'd ever make out with a certain guy (she said she wouldn't, I had bet that she eventually would).
After Teen Witch, Meredith and I went over to Orchard Bar to dance and say hi to Sarah and Karen and I immediately started challenging people to make the "ugliest face possible." Here's Sarah's. Hahahahah. AMAZING!
While cleaning up her room after dinner, Sarah found her very first fake ID that she got made when she was a freshman in college! Hahah. Look at that baby face!
After Madonna's set was over, the downstairs started to fill up so we retreated further back into the secret office and proceeded to hide out there until the bar cleared out a bit.
So a whole bunch of us headed to Misshapes to dance, but this was right around the time Misshapes started blowing up big time (Madonna ended up DJing there the following week) and when we got there, it was sooooo crowded that we said "fuck it" and decided to head across the street to the short-lived Movida. A way lamer time, but at least there was room for me and the gaggle of biddies I was with the shake our booties. Here's Gurj, Babbette (who I'd just met that night) Sarah, Jenne and Lauren.
On Sunday night the boys from Apartment took us all out to a fancy Italian dinner to thank us all for putting them up in our aparments. Here's David, Sarah and Tom getting ready to chow down.
Later that night I went over to Sarah's to help her make a few of the 500 Nightmare of You singles she was handmaking and decorating with real rose petals for the one of the earlier releases she did on her Stolen Transmission label (this is well before Island / Def Jam agreed to be her distributor!)
Later that afternoon I went over to Sarah's to pick up some more of my stuff and give her the awesome visor / welder's mask I'd scored in Korea. Here's visor mode.
After spening the night at Meredith's I went over to my room at Sarah's apartment on Saturday to grab my suitcase and then head to the airport. I snuck in expected the apartment to be quiet, but instead was greeted by Leigh, Karen, Sean and Brandon who'd all had a slumber party the night before!
So Baron grabbed a nearby hula hoop and started doing some sort of crazy, gyrating exotic I'm-in-my-undies hula dance in front of Sarah who was laughing so hard she started crying.
Sunday Morning Brunch Club at Kate's Joint! Holy shit, remember when we used to do this pretty much EVERY SUNDAY? Clockwise from Left: Sarah, Meredith, Elhaam, Rob Hitt, Brandon, Josh, Ellen, Karen and Leigh!
Sarah with two of her friends that were visiting town? Just recently married? All I know is that they were a super-cute couple that were totally beaming.
Sarah decided to forego airbrushing a red stripe across her face (maybe her air compressor was on the fritz?) and instead went for a more subtle, military-influenced My Chem flavor.
On Sunday, I moved the last of my stuff into my new sublet at Sarah's, got my own set of keys, and got to officially add my name to the list the lengthy roster of people that are able to proudly call themselves "Occupants of Apt. 3A."
Late night I went to my new "home" at Sarah's apartment. We stayed up late watching TV and playing dress up. Here's Sarah's impression of an Olsen twin.
Later that night, a whole bunch of us went to Orchard Bar to celebrate Gurj Bassi's birthday at the old Stolen Transmission party. Hahahah. Gurj, Karen & Sarah. This picture pretty much sums up all of the Orchard Bar Stolen Transmission parties. Man, they were fun.
On Tuesday night I stopped by Happy Ending to say goodbye! The next morning I was heading up to Western Massachusetts to spend the next 10 days in total silence at a meditation retreat (which, believe it or not, was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life!). Sarah, Scott and Leigh.
Monday night a bunch of us went over to Sarah's to celebrate something (finishing her book?) and to have some beers and get warmed up for some pirate-themed party she and Karen were DJing at the Delancey.
Sarah and Karen manning the sound system. By the way, these next two photos are my favorite photos of Karen and Sarah. If you know either of them, they pretty much don't even need captions.
Sarah, who's been a nut about Interpol since their first EP, used to get chastised by the rest of the Spin staff for liking them. A week after she left the magazine to start her own label, Spin put Interpol on the cover.
So fresh and so clean! After Sarah and Josh had recovered from the trauma my nizzuts had inflicted, we hopped into a cab and headed over to Stubb's for...
So Josh, Sarah and I all sharing a room together turned out to equally COMPLETE silliness. While Sarah was trying to get ready to check out some shows, Josh decided to dress up like...
