My Girl Wants To Party All The Time
Em ‘n’ Han ‘n’ Alex, originally uploaded by emilyrems.
I know every season is touted as party-time in NYC, but I like the fall best as far as socializing is concerned. Everyone has just come back from their far-flung summer retreats and people start reconnecting again all fresh-faced and full of sun-drenched stories. Last weekend I went to CT for Han’s baby shower and got to hang with Han and our childhood chum Alex (There we are above). Many other rad peeps who Han knows from MA were there too, and plenty of fun was had by all until a freak tractor trailer accident paired with a sudden torrential rainstorm to thwart all attempts to leave for hours. Then on Monday, there was a big dinner in Queens to celebrate the six year anniversary of Michael and Will’s move to NY, so I got to slurp mighty margaritas with LCF, Alpha, Jeanette, her hubby, Michael, Craig, Alan and Will at the aptly named Los Amigos. Then yesterday, after voting, I was tearfully reunited with Brandy at Otto’s Shrunken Head where she was hosting a weird-ass movie night. The rest of the week promises quality time with the Royal Pink grrrls and with Ian, and that doesn’t even count the weekend! Whew! Never knew I was such a social butterfly ’till all the chickens came home to roost! Hows THAT for a mixed metaphor?
