A Year Ago Today 3/10/09

Andrea brought me to New York City, just because. I had never been to New York before but it was everything I’d hoped it would be.

One night we decided to go to a Hindu temple for a 7 o’ clock service, but when we got there the gentlemen at the front told us it wouldn’t be starting until eight. So, naturally, we decided to go have a drink while we waited. There was a tiny bar right across the street and since it was unbearably cold for me we just ducked right inside there and sat in a booth in the very back, farthest from the cold. Then we found out it was happy hour, which for Andrea, might as well be a sign from above, if you will. We ended up drinking whiskey and cokes and telling hilarious life stories to each other for hours, making it one of the simplest, happiest nights of my life. Then, stumbling “home” to our hotel (”somewhere in Chinatown” — we were actually trying to spot Asians to follow so we could try to get back), we made a pit stop at a falafel place and chowed down. At the time, their trashcan seemed hilarious to us… see for yourself:

On February 19th, 2010, Amanda Blank graced the stage of the engine room in her bare feet with painted black toe nails, a black silk romper, bedazzled black bra, and a black lace blindfold. She was gorgeous. But, more importantly, she put on a fantastic show. Anyone who couldn’t make it truly missed out on a great performance.

Luckily, there are photos for that!

Keep in mind, this album certainly doesn’t do the goddess justice. You’ve just gotta see her in the RL…

Hahahahahaa, I’m so happy there’s a reason to look back on this album of photos… DIYno Haus parties are generally one big hot mess, and this one was no exception. At least it was unforgettable. So without further ado, enjoy these photos that were taken exactly one year ago!

A Year Ago Today – 02/13/09

February 13, 2009 was possibly the best night-before-Valentine’s party ever.

THE VAMPIRE MAKE-OUT PARTY!

We celebrated Brian’s birthday by having a doubly-themed party over at the Prince St. house. Vampires + Spin the bottle = Beautiful memories. There was also quite a bit of dancing to Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Yelle, which I can never complain about. And in a house where Robert resorted to drinking from the keg with a measuring cup, the lack of appropriate dishware led to drunk people eating birthday cake with their hands.

New Discovery

I just discovered something AMAZING!

I usually delete my American Apparel emails before I even open them because I’m fiscally responsible. However, I just opened one because I might need to get a few new bras soon, and found out they’re having a BEST BOTTOM CONTEST.

So, if you want to take advantage of these girl’s low self esteem like I do, go to the American Apparel Best Bottom Contest. As of right now there are 874 “submissions.” Enjoy!
