Club 88 Leonard, NYC

Anyone who’s anyone in New York City’s elite group of club goers knows that places like Bungalow, Marquee, & Mansion are about as cool as cargo shorts [insert appropriate movie quote here: “Nobody has gotten a hand job in cargo shorts since 'nam! – Superbad]

That being said, a refreshingly new, more residential you could say, spot has popped up in Manhattan’s uber trendy high rent district, Tribeca (ok it’s not exactly tribeca but its friggin’ close). 88 brings with it an eclectic mix of wall street d bags (that’s WALL STREET, ever heard of it?), wanna be actors/directors, new york socialites (what the eff is a socialite anyway? Don’t those grow inside caves or some shit?) and eurotrash galore. Better yet, these people aren’t just coming by for quick bottle service and some table dancing, ohhhhhhh no, these people actually LIVE THERE . With breathtaking views of the city, an unparalleled door staff, and the recent vacancy of none other than Mr. & Mrs. Fatterstein , 88 Leonard is here to stay (assuming they don’t file for bankruptcy and are repo’d by a couple irate middle eastern businessmen).

Photo Insert: 88 Leonard patron Jenna Burke this past Saturday. She made a comment how this was her “first time” at 88. Ohh how we all remember our first times….

"I'm a doctor not a pool man!"

Everyone meet Édgar Enrique Hernández, aka patient 0.

gotta give props to my buddy Dan Oberlin (yet again) for digging this up. he is in med school and has access to a very large, expensive, stainless steel, medical database where he found this photo. highly classified. so don't steal it; but make sure you tell people you saw it here first....

PIC OF THE DAY

If their photo’s weren’t so damn powerful I would stop putting them up, but VII has done it again (2nd or 3rd posting on EH I believe). This time they have joined forces with the Red Cross to launch a campaign that raises awareness on today’s most pressing human challenges.

This photo was taken recently in Afghanistan by James Nachtwey. I find it interesting that these types of photos are shown all over the world on international news programs. At one point the BBC devoted an entire segment to sharing ‘conflict photography.’ Meanwhile American news channels are busy instilling fear in its citizens with the Swine Flu or Air Force One flyby in lower Manhattan. I work for a news channel; I’m allowed to say these things.

American media take note; this photo speaks louder than all of the guests on Meet the Press in the last 5 years combined. And there have been some loud guest on MTP, very loud….

"I don't want to put you in a cage....

....i want to love you!"
AH: Same thing!

nothing like waking up on a beautiful Saturday morning to BAT* with AH* on HBO*. Aside from being a wonderful actress, she may or may not be the perfect woman. If you could combine her characters from "Roman Holiday," "Sabrina," and "Breakfast at Tiffany's," I'm fairly certain you would create the ultimate female. Any semi intelligent guy looks for bits of AH in girls they date. Trust me, I know these things.

*Home Box Office (you moron)

So it's nice outside....lets do some meth!!!

Finally the weather broke in the city (hopefully for good). But seriously it kind of scares me when this happens for the first time. People start to go a bit crazy. It’s like just because the weather’s nice you can do anything you want. “Hey lets go kill that old lady.” What? No, that’s crazy! “Dude it’s like 68, clear skies. Come on bro, don’t be gay!” I’m just as excited as the next person, but please, citizens, humans, friends, lets be rash (like rational, but how the kids say it) about this.
That’s all I got on the weather. Wow it is nice out. Old ladies beware.

It's Wedding Season!

I know everyone talks about this on their blog. So naturally instead of not talking about it I am going to talk about it. But it's wedding season! I just recently got back from a friends wedding to kick off the season (which was completely gorgeous and an amazing time) .

Quick Q&A about weddings.....

Question: Why are weddings so much fun?

Answer: Because they are a valid excuse to drink heavily 2 nights in a row ( which in my current quarter life situation doesn't often happen). The Friday night, post rehearsal dinner, party is like a warm up before the real thing. For guys it sometimes helps to think of it like a combat mission. The night before the attack you go in, survey the scene, see what you are up against, and ultimately how much heavy artillery you'll need to complete the mission. ha right? no?

Question: Can you hit on other people's dates?

Answer: Of course ( I won't elaborate. I'll leave that to you guys).

Question: Do you dance with the flower girl?

Answer: No. Don't be that guy. It was happening long before Wedding Crasher's exposed it and it

was lame then.

Question: Did I dance with the flower girl at the wedding I just attended?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Do you bring a gift?

Answer: No. If you order from the registry it will ship directly to their house (or where ever they live, free shipping of course. easy option). Or get them something cool and creative, but don't physically bring it to the wedding.

Question: Can you ask other people's dates to go home with you at the end of the night?

Answer: No. You've taken it to far. Hitting on is one thing. That takes it to another level.

Question: Did I ask someone else's date to go home with me at the wedding I just......

You can see where this is going....it's wedding season....Woohoo!

DUDE, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

A few technical difficulties have prevented me from posting lately. Please stayed tuned because once this is fixed I will make up for it ten fold. folded ten times.
