Turns out, it was Keith Flint from the Prodigy! So we went over and busted his balls and asked him if we could grab a pic. Hahahaha.

After Amanda had finished singing, Tracy Morgan wandered in from the next room (!!!) and asked Frank if he knew how to play "Let's Get it On" by Al Green. He killed it.

...and then halfway through the song, took that mother over. Check out Tracy (making the Brian Fellows face!) and Shawn looking on in awe! Hahaha.

After he'd finished singing, one of Tracy's friends (Shawn Wayans, I think) came up on stage and the band kicked off a Stevie Wonder tune. Seth ran up and joined them to first provide some backing harmonies...

Walking home from an uneventful Monday night out, I stopped by Bowery Ballroom (2 blocks from my house) to check out the roster list of upcoming shows. When I got there I realized that Ted Leo and the Pharmacists were playing that night! Not only were there tix available, Ted was going on in 15 minutes. I walked in, caught a rad show, and ran into Ric Ocasek on the way out! Holy shit, Just what I needed! (ba-dum-dum-CHA! Thank you. I'll be here all week! Try the meatloaf. And remember, please tip your waitress.)

So, with the party jumping, Andrew Einhorn, Spencer Tunick and I were ready to put our scheming minds into action. Spencer is an artist famous for getting thousands of people to get naked and lie down in public spaces. (Homeboy even had a fancy documentary called Naked States made about him. Ta-dow!)

At some point earlier in the night I asked Spencer (thinking I'd all shock him and shit), "If I can get a bunch of people to get naked, will you do one of your installations in my room?" Without missing a beat, Spence pulled a stack of postcards with his work on them and said "Hand these out and tell everyone that participates that they'll get a print of the shot. We'll shoot at midnight."

Look! Sometimes there's even the occasional celebrity. That's Peter Reigert (he played "Boon" in Animal House, remember), up on stage to sing "Shout." (He was there because it was the wrap-party for a movie he'd just finished directing. Beverly D'Angelo [aka - Ellen Griswold *swoon*] was in the movie too and I was hoping that I'd get to dedicate a karaoke jam just for her, but she was a no-show. Bah.)

We were standing at the back of the party, looking to see if we kind find anyone who could trump the excitement of Doogie and we see Keanu Reeves was sitting at a table all by himself. So I went over, said hi to him, started chatting him up telling him how much I loved him in "Point Break" (too bad you think I'm kidding) and then I asked if he'd mind having his pic taken. He said "No, not at all."

Just as he stood up pose with Vicki, his publicist (that blonde lady you see in the background) rushed over out of nowhere and is like "No! No photos. Sit down Keanu!" She then sorta pushed him back down to the table he'd been sitting at, dragged a chair over, and sat in front of him, guarding him. Which was really awkward because Keanu was now sitting all alone at the table, with this lady sitting in front of him with her back to him so she could glare at us. Which made us feel bad. We didn't mean to get Keanu in trouble!

So we just sorta hung out in the area and a few minutes later as the evil publicist lady was trying to usher him out of the party, he snuck over, apologized, and said "Quick, she's not looking! Take the pic!" (So Keanu, if you read this, thanks. Oh, and evil publicist-lady, if you read this, you can eat a bowl o' dicks! Cause we got the pic! Boo-yah!)

We prowled the crowd on the hunt for some serious celeb action. And lookie who we saw milling around - that's right, it's Neil Patrick Harris (aka - Doogie Howser, M.D.)! Booyah!

Me to Vicki and Sarah: "Quick! Pretend like I'm taking a picture of you two so we can get Doogie in the background." I think he overheard the word "Doogie" because he started moving around trying to get out of the way. But we got you Doogie. Oh, yes. We got you.
