After my drink-all-day saturday and Bahareh's work all day we met up and headed to Diesel's XXX party.
Confetti was on full force. Famous people too.
Bumped into a bunch of folks. Here's Fly Lady Di. And we stole some of her sweet stuff.
.....and here's Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn Borough President. I dont think ive ever seen a pic of this dude not smiling. 
Simon was so sincere about teaching Greg and i how to do the 'To The Wiiiiirl!' move. I was [trying] to tell him the move's more like 'To The Moooooon, Sucka!'. He won.
Jess exhibited how a lady double-fists: both pinkies erect.
These guys. These guys. ha.
Bahareh was convinced they were on ecstacy. When they were well into a 7min lip-lock the guy on the right turned around and leaned in to kiss me....and then tried his charm on B.
He was having proper fun.
Yep - that's M.I.A.'s preggars belly. I guess most people already knew this but to me it was a surprise.
Oh, Whitney!

CHIMURENGA
Just this monday, Bahareh and i headed to The Kitchen (my first time) for a show/reading some of our friends helped curate/produce. I had no idea of the treat-basket i was about to indulge in.
[from their bio]
Chimurenga [loosely translated as "liberation struggle"] was founded and edited by DJ and writer Ntone Edjabe in 2002. It publishes tri-yearly print projects that interrogate the superficial and give voice to the renegade in a series of "thinking out loud" profiles, deconstructed and imagined interviews, surreal short stories, poetry, and other devices that challenge strict notions of fact and fiction.
6 contributors [ ranging from filmaker to researcher to artist ]of the magazine had readings, short films from African cinema, and oodles of interesting slides....
The panelists (not in seated order) were:
Olu Oguibe
Peter James Hudson
Tunde Giwa
Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts
Brent Hayes Edwards
Gabi Ngcobo
wow.
SO enlightening; i took oodles of notes and ive had 20 tabs in firefox i refuse to close.
Google, them.

Deliciouscratic? Hmm, bad title?
The VP debate was, unfortunately, not as unfortunate for Palin as most of us anticipated. No worries, she'll have plenty more chances.
Bahareh whipped up some more deliciousness for the screening at ours.
Rolan spent half the time text-debating with his Republican/Floridian friend. Guillo, on the other hand, spent his phone time most wisely.
