  • The Sated Week…

    Wow, this was busy week. Much too much went down. So lets get to it. Sunday, I had dinner with my Cousin Stickney.

    He owed me a Birthday dinner, so we went to Carmines, where the portions are preposterous. The food was expensive, one of the caveats of the meal, trying to make my uncle spend some of his cash. Just look at this steak.

    Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday, I had the honor of serving my civic duty. I had the fate of a man in my hands. Yes, I went to jury duty. And I got my camera past security, but chickened out on the money court shot. Here, enjoy the jury room.

    And the sandwich that the city of New York bought me.

    And I enjoyed Chinatown.

    But beware of Jury duty. And not for the waiting and annoyance, but for the responsibility. I kept joking, “im doling out the justice,” but sending someone to jail hit me heavy. I do think he was guilty, but damn, it still hurt. Look at me upon walking out of the courthouse.

    Enough with the down notes, Wednesday was also the Cate New York Reception, always a fun look back in time. We started off with Rich Pan in the elevator.

    Drew Skelton partied it up.

    Ogo Ravi and Murray kept it real.

    Lauren acted surprised, but she knew what was coming.

    The Married Couple had to represent.

    While Ally teaches 7th grade rugrats.

    Biggest surprise of the evening, the all star Ms Omaley.

    I only had five seconds with Stebbins, but at least I got the pict.
    IMG_9252

    The younger Collins did not look amused.
    IMG_9253

    But she did have the gall to have a Cate bag.

    Later, we went to Murray’s.
    IMG_9260

    And reminisced on the old days, Texans invading young arab countries and such.

    Friday, we rocked it. Jenna, her friend Jennifer and I got tickets to the Strokes and The Eagles of Deathmetal. Jennifer met us at the office.
    IMG_9331

    And away we went.
    IMG_9334

    It fucking Rocked!
    IMG_9346 IMG_9345

    Its that simple, it was just a fucking awesome show.
    IMG_9338

    I mean, my girl could not stop dancing.
    IMG_9358 IMG_9359

    The whole place was going wild.
    IMG_9360

    Just a rockin’ good time.
    IMG_9350

    Saturday, Jenna and I decided to be extras in JJs movie, “On The Road With Judas.” The set was crazy.

    Ben and JJ framing the action.
    IMG_9377

    I even made it on to the set.
    IMG_9378

    And a cool set it was.
    IMG_9379

    Jenna and I were supposed to be nerds. She was the hot one, can you tell?
    IMG_9381

    The hairgirl accentuated my nerdidness.
    IMG_9383

    While Ronan and Palla kept the shit produced.
    IMG_9388

    Jason rocked the suspenders to become the white Erckel, or Werckel.
    IMG_9390

    Even the director’s family got in on the fun for a bit.
    IMG_9400

    Set days are long and boring for extras, so I took a nap.
    IMG_9404

    And checked out how the dp looks at things.
    IMG_9408

    Lunch came and went.
    IMG_9409

    Jason changed but kept the Werckel look.
    IMG_9412

    What a set.
    IMG_9414

    Slotnick was having fun.
    IMG_9415

    Jen kept decorating and adding production value.
    IMG_9422

    The propmaster dove right in.
    IMG_9431

    Annie had dressed us so nerdy.
    IMG_9433

    The makeup girl made us not shine.
    IMG_9445

    And Katie held the whole place down.
    IMG_9446

    We finished with a tremendous elevator pict.
    IMG_9447

    And Jenna and I ate at the quite surprisingly good Klong on St. Marks.
    IMG_9452

    Delicious!
    IMG_9456

    And we noticed that the star of the movie, Eddie, was plastered all over Manhattan.

    Sunday, well Sunday was a continuation of my very favorite PS 260 tradition, the Office Oscar Pool.
    IMG_9323

    It takes over, and I give myself ulcers trying to pick correct winners… because I know that one false step can cost you the whole banana, and how good it feels to have them open that envelope and read out your pick. Well, one decision did cost me, cinematography, but whatever kids, cause I still got second place. That usually does not add up to much, but we expanded the pool to cover more Post companies, and I took down $125 American!

    Hells yeah.
