robbie's visit.
robbie had a free weekend and my mom had a free flight pass that was about to expire, so he decided to come out to ny. the only problem with those free passes are that you have to fly standby, so if you're travelling on a busy day (like friday) it can be a problem (like robbie had.)
he was at the las vegas airport from 9 am to 5 pm waiting to get on a flight. he eventually got into the city around 2 30 am, but i had already started pre-gaming for a bar, so i wasn't going to let the precious malt liquor go to waste on a sleeping stomach. we walked to the F train stop by my place (by 'by my place' i mean a 20 minute walk).. by the time we got there, it was 3 15, but we decided to wait for the train anyway.
40 minutes (and 3 contraband cigarettes in the subway station) later, the train finally showed up. by that point the pre-gaming and fatigue had caught up to me, and i started fading fast. it also didn't help that the f train was making A train stops in manhattan (total other side of the island)
by the time we reached manhattan we decided just o get some chicken & rice and call it a night.
robbie, on the way back from chicken and rice (if you can see that yellow bag, that's the stand's new fancy bag)
robbie giving a billy idol lip-snarl to sum up our feelings about the F train.
we finally got home around 6 and dicussed our lunch options for the next day... we finally decided on shake shack and went to sleep (we needed our rest, akron/family was playing the next day (for free!) at the east river music project)
we got up around 2 in the afternoon, took the train to shake shack, had a delicious lunch and robbie mentioned how he'd like to see some of the city, so i figured "hey, why not, let's walk"
examine, if you will, the two red dots on this map. also examine the scale in the bottle left. ALSO remember that robbie was wearing vans slip-ons and i was wearing chucks.
LONGEST WALK EVER.
we ended up getting there for akron/family's last 3 songs, but we were so exhausted ( a relly greasy burger and cigarettes before a walk is not suggested) that we just stayed at the park until the sun started going down.

akron/family.
me and robie sat in the grass and took our shoes off to let our "barking dogs" "simmer down"
later that night, we heard that my chemical romance was djing at misshapes, and anyone that knows me has probably heard me talk about how im so ashamed of myself for loving that band so much.. there was no way we couldn't go. when we got in, i was too caught up in drinking and dancing to take any pictures.. but at about 4 30 we drunkenly stumbled out of the club and onto the train, and the camera came out. these pictures really speak for themselves.
(i made shorts out of pants, they fit strangely like capri pants, the jury is still out on these)
and so concludes another wonderful weekend in new york city.

sarah's birthday (captions included)
the night began with a trip to morrissey park, a bar in the east village. pro: open rum bar. con: they did that because their air conditioner had broken and the inside of the place felt like living in one huge, sweaty sock. we all decided to take our sweaty asses out of there and go to athena's new apartment (which is a swank east village 1 bdrm that totally rules.) to celebrate the precious sarah's birthday the right way: BY DRINKING SUGARY MALT BEVERAGES, OBVS.
lynsay athena and blaire, attempting to find more hand space for the copius amounts of sparks.
the birthday girl, sarah, posing with both cleaning supplies and cat food.
athena looking alot like the woman in those orbit gum commercials. (who there doesn't seem to be a picture of anywhere online, but you know those commercials.)
bodega.
sarah and roommate justin, arriving at athena's.
lynsay with a sparks (classic, not that fake ass diet stuff. thank god) and sarah with a mike's hard something (cranberry? pomegranate? BLOOD?)
me and athena. i look stoned but i swear im not.
steven and blaire (who is drinking a diet sparks, but ill forgive her because she gave us a dining room table and a bunch of other stuff for our house)
lynsay was telling me about "fake smiling" for pictures, and here she is, fake smiling.
sarah takes a ton of pictures.
justin. the room looks like it had lights on, but that's the flash, we dont party with lights on. (i dont know what that hairy mass on the right side of the picture is.. i just checked and my fingers dont have hair on them, so im not sure what it could be...guesses?)
lynsay's face is priceless. also, doesn't blaire's sparks can seem to be concealing an exposed boob?
sarah simultaneously checking a digital picture while waving a polaroid (or shaking, if you want to really be summer 2003 here)
justin and athena.
another picture of mike's hard red mystery (WATERMELON? CHERRY? MERCURY FROM A THERMOMETER??)
"it's my party and i'll look jaded if i want to'
they look like a married couple. sort of?
athena is really happy about something here (probably because her favorite song ever, head automatica's "beating heart baby" just came on)
they look like they could be married too.
examine sarah's tongue.
and athena's
"its my party and ill make extremely lewd gestures if i want to"
sarah licking nicky
DRUNK
athena touching her hair, skeptical justin looking on ( doesn't his body language say "i really dont know about that, i just dont")
sarah taking a break from dancing to pose, athena is too busy busting a move to care about a silly camera.
suddenly athena feel asleep standing up, smiling. justin got a stomach ache, then too fell asleep.
happy birthday says me.
group picture (check out super drunk dude on left)
hey. i finally learned how to use my camera's timer. YES!
so that was a great night.
expect picture of the new house within a few days.
