Uncomfortable catnap on American flights 2249 & 523 notwithstanding, I haven't slept in over 24 hours. I spent my last night in New York at a house party I didn't leave until about 4:45AM which got us back to Brooklyn around 5AM, packed, left some stuff at HW's place so I wouldn't get charged for a bag that was too heavy and ready for the car to pick me up at 6AM for my 8AM flight. Aaah, it's good to be young! :)

In my one week in NYC, HW and I took a little under 200 pictures plus some video. I have to get my film developed but below you'll find some choice pics at some of spots we hit.

New Year's Eve Pictures:

1st party: Afropunk, 2nd party: Amu and Montana's brilliant loft party- A Bedford Hills Joint. We stayed at Amu and Monty's until 10AM and only left 'cause Luna had to get home and get ready for her brunch, otherwise WHO KNOWS when we would have finally gone home? The party went from 5AM til 6PM!

About to walk out the door to party #1

HW with Amu who along with Montana puts on the Bedford Hills Joint. House music...all.night.long!

part of the loft party included an umbrella dance, a common practice in New Orleans were Montana is from. This picture is me with myspacer, Julia who's been on my friends list for some time but who I bumped into at the party, she recognized me from my picture. Got to kick it with her twice more before I left the NYC. Great lady, I look forward to getting to know her better as well as the cutie Gale I met before leaving the party.

helping Olive cool off (I'd never met or interacted with Olive before but she recognized me at the Afropunk party by my picture! Turns out she knows Hanifah and some of my other friends so I got to see her a few times before I left. Great lady and we have a lot in common.)
