09.08.07

I went nuts this past saturday. I "borrowed" an old digi from work and just went on a shooting frenzy.

First stop: Twisted Burger. Ocho Loco deal meant $.08 burgers (any burger on their menu!) and $1 beers. 1 per person, but those things are massive!

Second Stop: Union Square where there was this Harvest Festival.

Third Stop: Art Parade on West Broadway. Soooo cool! I wanna join! I really went crazy shooting here. I secured a nice spot at the begining of the route with "official" photographers. Check out the whole set here.

Fourth Stop: Modest Mouse at McCarren Pool. Great show with drunk frat and underage boys.

Fifth Stop: Drinking delicious fresh brewed ice tea with a shot of vodka. mmmm....soooo dangerous. Held at the Blooming Tea House on Clinton street, it was $7 to drink free all night. The whole party was "The Squeeze": The secret fashion week party. I pulled some major rookie moves that left me reeling the next day...but sooo worth it.

08.18.07 Girls Day Out

We invaded Sandy Hook, while the sand invaded our crevices. After an awesome save by 'lizabeth, the day (and the food) was spared.

Thanks ladies! Here's the pics.

08.12.07 The Hama-hama-HAMPTONS

After staying up to 5am, we somehow managed to make the 2.5 hour drive to a mansion in the Hamptons. The host rented two school buses to ship his friends to his parent's huge house on the water. Unbelievable. Rosé champagne, bbq (which I didn't get to sample :(, pool, and wholy views! Too bad I couldn't go inside and drool over the furniture. Even more perfect was the meteor shower! Now I'm paying for it with a cold. boo.
MORE PHOTOS of our exploits.

08.10.07

recovered after getting to sleep at 4:30 am. house party at night sucked and culminated with some fight that broke out, 'cause someone couldn't handle his sucky freestylin' friend getting heckled. fucking hipsters.

08.09.07 Listen Premiere followed by Boucarou lounge

The video was dopeness while the after party was a wreck! No mention that you needed wrist bands to get the free drinks. Lame planning people!

The off to Boucarou lounge. What an odd place. Lounges with bad house music and $8 beers. Oh those Palis kids....

08.08.07 Worship Worthy x Rockers Hail Frida

at Anchor(310 Spring Street) No pics (boo). Good Drinks (free rum till they ran out). going alone and was called out on it again. This time by the bouncer. Free drinks purchased by my new hook-up Cleyon (wed. at Lotus, Thurs. at Boucarou).

08.05.07: BBQ!

Man it's been SO hard without my camera

Zune's Live at the BBQ. Second hip hop show in two days. No pics from KRS-ONE yesterday at Prospect park, 'cause my camera is D.E.D. That was a good show with Ladybug Mecca and Turntable Anihilists. But thanks to Chops, I had a camera to capture today.
The show featured Large Professor, Buckshot, Smif n Wessun, Joell Ortiz, Brand Nubian, Large Professor, Cham, MIMS, D-Block (The Lox), and super special guest L.L. Cool J. in all of his flesh. I think I'm one of the very few women out there who doesn't find him attractive or even that lip thing cute. That actually dries out your lips LL not make them kissably-soft. It was all worth it when he did Around the Way Girl. Classic.

All Was Well.

done. awesome. I predicted it.

....

It's dead. my camera is dead.

07.30.07 Viewpoint Olé party at the West side loft:
this is what I got: That's what I get for dropping it into an 1.5 inches of beer.

07.29.07 BBQ at Tony's house up on Mt. Misery. As I held my camera on a dixie cup with one hand (as a make shift tripod), B$@ was coming up with some crazy-ass rhymes. I laughed so damn hard, I dropped the camera in. Then a haze came over all my photos after that....

07.28.07 First stop: the Cooper-Hewitt Museum to catch the second to last day of the Design Triennial. I wasn't disappointed, I expected something different. At least there was a wall of Chip Kidd and Kidrobot toys to droll over.
Then off to Sonic Youth at McCarren Pool.

07.28.07 Carri and Bill Bon Voyage to SF.
So Jealous!!!!!
07.26.07 Olga's Bday party at Alt. Mrs. Clean!
07.24.07 United Trade Show. same shit, new trade show.
Then LVHRD PHTHRD. with my membership $11 for free Dewars and a peek into the world that is fashion photography. Really cool stuff! Here's the link to the pro photos and what it was all about.

07.22.07: Annuals and Band of Horses at McCarren Pool. Delish!
07.21.07: Triple Threat: at midnight I acquired the new Harry Potter. Read 4 pages all weekend. Just managed to get to 176 tonight.
Siren Festival. Braved the crowds for some Nathan's and almost stabbed some queens during M.I.A. when they anally raped me to get to the front of the stage. Pictured: We Are Scientists
that night: House Partay. I knew NOBODY except my sister and carried conversations with people who almost kind of knew each other but not really. Ah internet friends.... While stumbling home, I managed to sum up what summer in the city is like in one photo
07.20.07: Xtina's birthday cele at Nancy's. Whiskey shots, fried food, Spanish lessons and a round of Never Have I Ever.
07.15.07 Bastille Day in Carroll Gardens. You got to drink on the street and not get arrested. Sweet.

Saturday, July 14, 2007

Right on point:

First stop: Squishee time! I headed to the hell that is 42nd street for a glance at the Kwik-E-Mart. I managed to grab a semi-frozen Squishee (the turnaround is so quick that it doesn't have time to freeze) and a Buzz cola. Wasn't hungry enough to try out the donut, or had $6 to shell out on the Krusty-Os. As you can see Comic Book Guy walked into my shot.

Then in an atempt to be my own best friend, I headed to the free show at Urban Outfitters featuring El-P. I admit that I've been to only one other hip hop show in my life, which just so happened to be a Def Jux show! go figure! Such a small crowd, but I did enjoy myself. Hell, it was free!


After, I headed to Fontanas for the Nacotheque event. I had two free drinks before awkward guy approaches me with "It's ok, I'm here now!" REALLY! then after gaining my attention, he asks why I'm here. I told him that I needed to get out of my house. He too concured and added "I need to escape my ex". Isn't that rule #1 in the book?! Don't mention your ex's or that you just broke up with someone? Anyone beg to differ? I don't think he cared that much that I had a boyfriend and proceeded to keep with long awkward silences and his one word answers to my questions. After checking out the first act, I checked out of there at a pitful 10:30! I lasted 1 hour in that place! I could have gone longer if that dude wasn't occuping my whole night. I guess that's what it's like when you don't have you're friends to pull you away from such situations. geez Washington. Get a clue!

But, I actually got to have a small converstaion (if you want to call it that) with the one and only open bar asian guy! you guys who have been to open bars in the past two years know who I'm talking about. I got his makeshift card. Even his blog is somewhat nonsensical: http://tvoff.blogspot.com/. He told me he lists free events; that "mapletits doesn't have to buy anything ever again". Dude, I can't wait to be that open bar black girl....

UPDATE: 07.07.07-07.11.07

Going backwards in time:

07.11.07: My mom sent me these flowers for my birthday. It's soo cute! It's a birthday cake!
After the women's meeting, X and I hauled our rain-drenched butts to Astoria to wish Snarky a goodbye at the Bohemian Beer Gardens.

07.10.07: My Birthday!
26 years old and revisiting a place I haven't been in ages. The Coney Island Aquarium. Sooo cool! Especially the walrus. He took a loose poop and pulled out a wang as long as I am tall. Chops and I headed to the Wonder Wheel afterwards. I downed some Nathan's earlier, but figured this was easier than attempting the Cyclone like I originally wanted to do. We opted for the sliding car. Like the pussy I own, I screamed like a little girl when it slid forward. A nice walk down the pier was plenty entertaining. Fisherman catching fish that looked like the ones I just saw and poor rejected crabs. After a quick change, we went to La Palina for an amazing dinner. yummmm! We stuffed ourselves silly and it was gift time. Two lovely pieces of clothing, a yoga block that still hasn't arrived from Jersey yet, and the best yet: a Snoopy Snocone Machine! I sooo remember using this when I was kid. I can't believe that I could use it then. It took so much manpower! Then off to Lazy Catfish for two rounds of $1 wells. Couldn't put much more into a great birthday! thanks Chops! Definitely check out the photos!!!

07.08.07: Butane Variations Rooftop BBQ. I was nervous about this one. I didn't know how cool it was going to be and Chops just kept inviting people. I'm SOO happy everyone came and just created the party. We crashed that roof with their "36 grills" (I counted 12). My po partner and I managed to make a total of $28 off all the unused food we had. Hell, we're poor and these people are eating for free? fuck that!

07.07.07 Simian Mobile Disco.
I didn't make it into the huge Boredoms thing, which makes me soo uncool, I had to settle for dancing at Studio B. New Rave is it!

Weekend Wrap Up

Yea, I've been slacking. My birthday promise is to reinstate what this whole thing is about. Daily photos instead of weekly.

But, my bday isn't until next week, so for now, let's explore this past week starting with the most recent:

07.06.07 Snarky's Goodbye drinky-thing at K&M bar.
'course I managed to run out of money after the first two drinks. Anyone want to apply for the position of platonic sugar daddy?

07.04.07 July 4th!
First stop, NB's house for some punch making. Snarky and I in our free booze induced drunkeness decided it would be a great idea. It sure was! yumtastic and super sweet.Next stop the Todd P party. stayed there for a super short amount of time. Just in time to snap this:Then off to a little park down the street for a great view of the fireworks. Started at about 9:30 just in time. The rain stopped for the entire duration. I guess God loves fireworks!
07.03.07 drinks at Lazy Catfish.
No photos but oh my god what a deal! Tuesdays are free PBR from 8:30-10. Then $1 wells from 10-12! too bad I have to work the day after my bday!

06.30.07 Out in Shirley, LI for a little party at the bosses house. A huge chunk of Tuna, smoked pork, loads of beer and Cap-in', mixed with a pool, some corn hole (I know, I know. who knew it was a game too?!), just feet away from Fire Island, made for a great time. Not to mention the two Bud lights donated to 5 of us on the train, after we ran out of champagne. yum. thanks kids.

The After Party


Here's the pics from the after party on sunday.

ROCK STAR WEEK pt. 2

back to Thursday: the big man said it was ok to post them, so here's the pics.

Friday, June 22nd 2007: Went to Acupuncture for the first time ever. Worked on my stomach pains within the first five minutes. Don't know if the seeds in my ear worked for the 4 days I had to use them, but it was cool to have.

Saturday, June 23rd 2007: Beach Day at Long Beach. Nothing but wind picking up the sand and blowing it up my freakin' crotch! Yes, a true sandy vag.

Then on to Ant's party after a quick stop to Tribeca Grand. Smoke, Sweat, and $20 worth of good vodka helped me to stumble home in time for the 4am pass out session.


Sunday, June 24th 2007: Element Premiere at KCDC.
Although it wasn't as crazy as Thursday, it was more fun. Better competitions for the goods. My biggest commentary of the day: Girls SUCK. It hurts to say. I was ultra pissed that not one girl could do a freakin' Ollie for the all girls contest. WTF???? I say this to all girls and boys out there that are using a skateboard as a fucking fashion accessory: hand the skateboards over to the poor kids that have to tape up their boards after splitting the thing after trying so damn hard to nail that backside 5-0 for the 10th time that day!

I've said my peace.

After party pics will be up soon. Thanks to all on that roof that attended the pizza penis party. You guys ended my Rock Star Week with a bang! Thanks boys and girl (some more rum K?)

ROCK STAR WEEK

Just one week ago was the beginning of what I like to call my Rock Star week. I've finally organized all the photos. So, I'm keeping it short and sweet and putting links to all the photos as usual:

Friday, June 15th 2007: DiBWiCa party.
Ellen's house first complete with Chili and Cornbread. Then on to mine complete with gin, vodka and focaccia.


Saturday, June 16th 2007: 82 Maspeth House Party.


Finally we had our party. Lots of alcohol and food was consumed. Dancing was done and the sun rose over our inebriated heads. Thanks everyone for making it great! Special thanks to Garden Grill for hosting our drunk asses at 6am.

Sunday, June 17th 2007: Father's Day.

After 2 hours sleep, the sis, Rob and I headed back to Jers. The fam headed out to The Frog and the Peach in New Brunswick. DEEEE-LICOUS! $32 for a 3 course pre fix. So yummy!

Monday and Tuesday, June 18th and 19th 2007: Wildwood.
Chops and I ended up at the Senior Week Nexus for our 3 year anniversary. Day one consisted of a few cold hours on the beach, buffet dinner and seeing Ocean's 13 on the beach on a big blow up screen. SOOO cool! Day 2 consisted of a whole day at the beach, 1 six pack and seafood dinner overlooking the heavy fog.

Wednesday, June 20th 2007: Atlantic City and Aberdeen.

Woke up to rain and clouds. Meant no last day at the beach and Chops wasn't going to the skate park. Opted for breakfast at a Doo-Wop dinner called the Pink Cadillac for one of the best wraps I ever had. After leaving, the sun started to come out. Of Course. We made the detour to Atlantic City. never been before 'cause I'm not the gambling type. What a depressing place.

We high-tailed out to Aberdeen. After some home cooked food and Rita's, the neighbors came over with the Harley. Chopper on a Chopper.



Thursday, June 21st 2007: Element T.I.M.E. premiere at Times Square. Just in time for go skateboarding day....HOLY! What a day....BUT...I have to keep those photos under wrap...for now...
