Friday night saw a perfect storm of partying, almost enprecedented in it’s scope of star power. Almost everyone I spend time with was representing at some point over three parties.

Stop #1 was Zaira’s boyfriend Cam’s house. Cam plays in a band called Clouds That Look Like Things. The couple had me over for dinner before the rest of our party mates arrived.

With fruit and chocolate fondue for dessert! Yumz!

Cheers, guy. At this point we’re drinking Amaretto and some juice, I forget what. Tasty stuff though.

Mira was the first of our party posse to arrive, wasting no time in preparing more to drink. She had brought all the fixin’s to whip together some impromptu Sangria.

Next to arrive is Mike from Sadie May Crash! Apparently we are having our picture taken for the office bulletin board or something. Anyway, I asked him if the rest of his band was coming and he said that he’s taking a page out of the Sean Ward play book in that he hasn’t spoken to them, he just came down because he knew where the party is at, and if they know what’s happenin’ he’ll see them there. Well said, Mike. Even when I’m paraphrasing you, you’re so eloquent.

Here Cam is putting on some party music. His picks only got a song or two into the album because I kept harassing him about “that bounce”, how I need “that bounce”. Eventually Zaira and I just took over his computer using Zaira’s ipod. I don’t know why his computer could play Zaira’s ipod but not mine. Oh well, Zaira’s got some good shit so it works out. Dancing The Hustle to Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a vital start to any outing.

I have known Zaira for many years, 5 or 6 at least. In that time I have seen her craft her fashion sense and today she’s one of the most unique and skillful fashionistas I know. She’s crafted this wonderful ’40s movie star who has just married a Beat Poet’ look that she ought not to be capable of for another few years yet, but pulls off with flair and gusto.

Andrew from upstairs had to come down to see what’s ’bout it, by which I mean get a beer in his hand and take in the vibe.

Time to go. Everyone starts packing up their booze. We’re on our way to a bar, but we’re gonna be going to a house party after that so we need to get prepared.

Waiting for the College Streetcar…

That man did not draw any attention to himself except for to stand near us, pose, and patiently wait for us to notice him. Mira was all “no I’m not taking your picture” but you know how I do. “No wait, come back! I’ll take your picture!”

A quick streetcar ride…

…and we’re at the bar for Herman K. Bobbie’s birthday party!!

Aaron in the house. Say what? That man is crazy. And every time I see him, he’s always Mr. Charmszers with the ladies.

It’s almost too bad we already ate. Look at this spread of food!

That is the only picture I have of the birthday boy. You can’t see it here, but he is wearing the headphones medallion that I gave him two years ago. That was awesome. No link yet? Oh shit! Well here you go. Herman solo: Human Kebab. Herman’s band: Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker.

I could also steal some pics from Madd Hattere who snapped that one from when Herman was getting his cake. You can see the medallion better in that one.

One of my favorite things about making that TV money was throwing it around like that. I was always buying dumb stuff for people that I would see and think they’d get a kick out of. I love it.

Hey, it’s Alon and Anna from Reactiv Pictures, the fine production house that made the I Was Made For This video!

Hey, it’s Tish!!

Hey, it’s the Sean and Tish waltz pic that we get every time we are out together. What is Zaira doing in the background???

If it didn’t look like the party was poppin’ off upstairs, that’s because it was going crazy downstairs where the dancefloor was. You couldn’t hardly move down there but that didn’t stop us from taking over about half the dancefloor.

This one is called The Magic Moment…

Hey, it’s Olivia! Just in time for the next party!!

All right! Two Seans and a John! Me, Johnny Lombardi, and Shaun Downey!

And then we were off on a voyage to Trish Robb’s housewarming party…
