Bye bye baby

My friends and I gathered for a small bachelorette reunion party/ going away party for me on Sunday and pretty little Lejla was the obvious center of everyones attention. Lejla has cheeks the size of tennis balls and she clearly likes my cooking so you can imagine how much I love her.

Nipples n Giggles!

Nice nice nice. Brown Girls Burlesque's 4th show was again at The Zipper Theater in midtown. It a primo venue, i say.

The ladies had 'done it again!' with this round. It's theme was 'Sheroes'. Great music, great jokes, great no-clothes, great show.

They keep selling them out.
Robin Cloud was a great host-ess. Check out more here.Here are some backstage shots.
The all-too-wonderful producers of BGB [Maya & Sara] with the accrue-age. Yep, that's an accounting term for ya.

tis the season, eh.The Finale - square fish samitches.

Mmm...beer.

Now, I'm not one to be crazy about beer, but when one of my oldest friend Birgitta, is turning 30 on the same night that she has her very own homemade beer competing in the Norwegian championship of BEER...I am ALL about beer. The event was held by Norbrygg and you can read all about them on their site...in Norwegian.

(b-day girl!)

(strawberry and banana short cake and beer was a yummy combo)

(Katharina and Glenn taking notes)

(a sign I found to be pretty interesting on my way to the bathroom)

(a couple of the judges)

Birgitta came in 9th place, a couple of spots ahead of her beer enthusiastic dutch husband, Eduard, who won the gold medal last year (or the year before?).

(9th place - yay!)

(Eduard is also Norbryggs Head of PR)

Anyway. We got these cups and was supposed to walk around to the different tasting stations
that were all divided by the letters of the alphabet. The entire alphabet was represented, including the Norwegian"æ" "ø" "å". Needless to say, we got drunk. Very drunk. By the time they were calling out the winners, I was so wasted that I tried to lead a cheer in honor of the 3rd place. "Stout! Stout! Stout!"

It didn't really catch on.

Pro-Progress

Whenever i think im being all 'productive' i take a glance over at my friends who are also getting it done - but on a whole different level.

Meet Nydia. Ive known her since my freshman year in highschool. Actually - i smoked my very first (and 3rd to last) cigarette (swisher sweet) with her by the lake behind my apt. Most recently, she's been the semi-motivation for my first round of spring cleaning, but most importantly, she's the Assistant Manager of Grants and VIP Outreach at the Marijuana Policy Project out in DC.

Check out the org.

Good Morning // 11

Today, i decided not to skip class - and so did Sallome. She and i went to Brooklyn's own George Westinghouse High School to pay some kids a visit.

Today's Subject: D R E A M S. we all got 'em, ya know.
The kids, predictably, were amazing. At first they were reluctant to acknowledge interest in the two of us.....until the jokes started going around. ha.

looking forward to the next.

Finally! New Kicks, again. x2

Batman once said, "Good things come to those who wait...". How right he is!

My lil cousin Kania (down in Orlando) saw my last post while en route to the Puma Outlet Store. Her friend just got a job there and was spreading the 70% discount love. Kania then transfered that lovin' to moi.
Tis my lucky day.

I love you Batman. And Kania.

Finally! New Kicks, again.

I've been a REALLY good boy about impulse purchases as of late. So, today, i ran 'round the bend to Puma with fingers crossed HOPING that there'd be a pair of kicks worthy of my greenbacks. Whew! Success + fat laces.
