I’ve been hunkered down for the past two weeks wrapping up what will be the 200th online property I’ve had a hand in building (no kidding.) I used to be able to pull all-nighters all the time. Did it this past Tuesday night, and I spent all day Wednesday burping and farting.
I think I’m officially too old for all-nighters anymore.
Even with all the work, I managed to enjoy myself. Saturday I went to the World’s Strongest Man competition with my good friend Dominic and some other friends at Madison Square Garden, first having an early dinner at a local diner. Afterwards we all hit a nearby BBQ joint for some snacks and drunken straight girls screaming, and finally ended up at the Eagle. I was on my own Saturday as Joe wasn’t interested in watching big muscled men strain spandex lifting heavy shit – go figure.
Sunday of course Joe, Ryan, and I went to Folsom Street East. Joe and I got there fairly late, almost 5pm, just in time to get soaked by a passing rain shower. Had a great time. Got to catch up with many friends. We had dinner afterwards at Pepe Giallo – great Italian food – which was right on 10th Avenue and 25th Street on the walk back to where we had parked our car.
Monday night we went to the HX Awards which was being held at the Chelsea Clearview Theaters on 23rd Street in Manhattan. HX Media is one of my clients, so I figured what the heck. Not exactly our scene (there were a few full-sized men in the audience), but we had a really good time. The presenters and hosts and even the winners were very entertaining. Of course Absolut was one of the sponsors, so the blue drinks I had that looked like Windshield Washer Fluid on the rocks (and I imagine tasted like it too) may have had something to do with how much I enjoyed the evening.
