  • Rich’s Birthday 07, Mar 23rd, 2007

    NYC living comes in so hectic sometimes, that people within a very
    close proximity can fall through the cracks. It’s not like you never
    want to hang… you just… don’t. Rich, and his whole social circle
    actually, fall into this category. And just because of this, I have
    always made it a point to make it to his birthday. Below lies our
    shenanagins of 2007, which is scary, cause I just went to his 2008
    (that’s five in a row) birthday, and that means I am now a full year behind.
    Worry not, twill all be blogged. Anyway, on to the post.

    The day before Rich’s birthday, Jenna and I ate pasta.

    And pizza. I don’t remember where but it looks good. Look at the oil in the cute little bottle.

    RichBl - 002

    I will never pass by a trash train without taking a picture of it. And that’s a lifetime guarantee.

    RichBl - 003

    Which brings us to the party. He usually choose one of those bars you
    wonder how people find, this edittion, Happy Ending. I tried to leave a good tip
    for my coat check, and went downstairs, only to be hunted by a bouncer,
    cause I put in less that what it actually costs, before tip. I hate
    bars like this. Pay to get in bars. But I did find Rich, and promptly snapped him with his
    best friend from childhood, Molinardo.

    RichBl - 004

    Oh shit, Ben got in the fun!

    RichBl - 005

    Frosh was around, taking a small leave from belle Paree.

    RichBl - 006

    Lee gave me his million dollar smile.

    RichBl - 007

    Heaya continued to keep the myths of lesbianism with her best friend alive.

    RichBl - 008

    Perfectly normal Mallika.

    RichBl - 010

    Drunk Mallika.

    RichBl - 009

    Silly… almost crying Mallika?

    RichBl - 011

    Ben giving his best point ever, while I look slightly maniacal.

    RichBl - 012

    Another good random find, Shooter Joel.

    RichBl - 013

    Drunk Rich.

    RichBl - 014

    Drunk Adi.

    RichBl - 015

    This place is called Happy Ending cause it used to be a massage parlor.
    Down stairs they have little tile coves which used to be saunas,
    divided by see through glass. The people behind seemed like nice
    people, so I did the only sensible thing… Did i ever mention i was Varsity Moon Squad in High School?

    RichBl - 016

    At this point Rich stole my camera. He had forgotten his, but it was
    the same model as mine, so he new what he was doing, going around
    catching himself with everybody. Notice the similar smile.

    RichBl - 017

    The claw.

    RichBl - 018

    Cut off thumbs up.

    RichBl - 019

    Full thumbs up.

    RichBl - 020

    Claw again.

    RichBl - 021

    Kiss.

    RichBl - 022

    Kiss Two.

    RichBl - 023

    Don’t even know what this is.

    RichBl - 024

    Oh, and we are back.

    RichBl - 025

    Psych! Rich is still got it. Open mouth.

    RichBl - 026

    Drunk Face.

    RichBl - 027

    More smile.

    RichBl - 028

    Even more smile (and pretty awesome toast picture).

    RichBl - 029

    And we finally end the Rich Camera Occupation with an open mouth. Thank
    you for joining us on our little tour of facial gesticulations.

    RichBl - 030

    Moving on to Shingo and hot girlfriend Take 1.

    RichBl - 031

    Shingo and hot girlfriend Take 2. (Sometimes you need that second take).

    RichBl - 032

    Rich harassing with love hugs.

    RichBl - 033

    At this point, I had an awesome conversation with Ben where we agreed
    that even though we didn’t hang that much, our history was full of
    awesome conversations.

    RichBl - 034

    I think I purposely took this picture of these two who I didn’t even
    know to make fun of them somehow, but I can’t remember. Whatever.

    RichBl - 035

    Sad Beth.

    RichBl - 036

    Serious but Understanding Beth.

    RichBl - 037

    What birthday blog post would be complete without a shot of me molesting rich through the glass?

    RichBl - 038

    Have you seen this man?

    RichBl - 039

    There he is!

    RichBl - 040

    Take 2 different, and just as good.

    RichBl - 041

    Aaah. I don’t know how this happened, but people… The pineapple is in play!

    RichBl - 042

    Yes, out of nowhere, it came to save the end of the night.

    RichBl - 043

    Ben continues in grand pointing fashion.

    RichBl - 044

    The pineapple gets some play.

    RichBl - 045

    Oh, getting kinkier, a bit of stroking.

    RichBl - 046

    And the final killer kiss from the birthday boy.

    RichBl - 047

    Bad take 1.

    RichBl - 048

    Priceless take 2.

    RichBl - 049

    And yes, by this end of the night Rich was belligerently drunk enough to ride the cone.

    RichBl - 050

    But at least  he didn’t throw up in the cab.

    RichBl - 051

    And we end the legendary night by dropping John off across the street from my house. Later Neighbor.
