Act I: Carroll Gardens

Okay, Act I really starts Thursday night when Mike Anderson - my next door neighbor / bestest / firstest friend ever (yes, I know those last two aren't words) - came down from Medway, MA to hang out in NYC for the weekend. The master plan was for Mike to drive down, pick up his friend (who's in route to Croatia) at JFK, then drive on into NYC to hang out for Halloween weekend.

Anyway, around 2am Mike shows up empty handed - his friend never showed up at the airport - so Mike drives into NYC solo, meeting up with me and the rest of the ITP Thursday Night Out crew at the Magician.


Fast forward to Friday / Halloween night... we motivated out to Brooklyn to hang out at Josh and Ann's new place out in Carroll Gardens. Here, Mike and I starring in the first time we've been in the same place for Halloween in, er, 20 years?


My costume? Oh, I'm supposed to be this guy - Ryan from The OC. See? I have the leather wrist band and the two leather things around my neck and the t-shirt?! Um, yeah...


... I know, it's no Baby's First Halloween (circa 1980), but still.

ps: Yes, that's me. My friend's name is Baby. He's a Snoopy whose ears I chewed off.


6'5" and Nascar Thunder.


Brooklyn vs. Manhattan. Manhattan as the visiting team. Suckers.


Overhead (about the girl in the green skirt):

BC: What do you think she is?
AK: Do-able.



Noah. (Josh's little brother)


A delicious little plate full of foreshadowing.


Courtney. Kath.
Hurricane victim. Hurricane reporter.


Off topic, but proof that AK bet me $50 that I couldn't finish the Boston Marathon in April. If Ferrari and I actually motivate, I stand to win a couple bucks from a handful of naysayers.

ps: put the water down, you Timmy!


Mike Tully stars as Nick Nolte's mugshot.


Ryan carrying Marissa to safety.

huh?: Come'on! Didn't anyone see that episode?


Dave & Stacey as The White Stripes (how cute).


The spiraling deficit, of course.


Seriously...


...I think Clark has a drinking problem.

Not hot.


Die Hipsters Die.

Note: me = furioso!


(though I have no beef with Argo's lamb chops)


Technical difficulties.


Dear tallboys,

Even though I bought all 12 of you, I'm sorry that we were only able to only drink three before the rest of you were stolen.

I hope we can still be friends, wherever you are.

Love,
dpstyles97

ps: see you Saturday!


Pumpkin, it's like you can read my mind!
