As much as I hate Friday and Saturday nights in Manthattan this recent Friday night there was a lot of stuff I wanted to check out.  Usually when there is too much to do in one night I just do none of it, text a girl or two and then end up watching Netflix till 8am. But this Friday night I decided to put on some pants and head into the city and try to do it all…

Step one: I headed to Fontana’s for The Dish & The Spoon after party. The Dish and the Spoon is a movie that I wanted to see at SXSW but ended up missing.  Since then, the star of the movie Greta Gerwig, started dating one of my best friends and has become a friend so I wanted to see the film even more when it had a Rooftop Films screening on Friday. Unfortunately I couldn’t quite make it in time so I just hit the after party.  Everyone was leaving by the time I got there but I got pictures of Greta and director Alison Bagnall and a bunch of other people who no doubt loved the movie so much they had to party about it.

After that I met up with my friend Keith and the two of us headed over to Beauty Bar which is usually fucking horrible on the weekends but tonight former Smith’s bassist Andy Rourke was DJing and I love that dude so I had to stop by.  Beauty Bar clearly realizes they have a ton of douche bags in there on the weekend and now has a weekend dress code which would be great except it meant I couldn’t wear my hat inside which annoyed the shit out of me so after I said hello to Andy and his hetro lifemate Ole and took a few pictures, Keith and I made a break for Webster Hall.

DJ Jess got on my case on Thursday night about how I needed to check out Peaches’ back up dancers who were going to be performing at Trash downstairs in the Studio.  They did not dissapoint. All sorts of madness was going on down in the Studio when I got there and I took the best photos of the night.  Keith on the other hand was sort of just looking at me like “what the fuck?” so we went upstairs to check out the Girls & Boys party.

Modeselektor was DJing and people seemed to be really fucking excited about this.  The kids in the crowd were going nuts. All dance music sounds the same to me so I will just assume they were playing “Techno” and leave it at that.  I just mostly hung out on stage and talked to Nicky Digital while Keith was getting drunk and then we decided to make our last stop of the night over in Alphabet City.

We walked over to White Noise on Ave B for the Wild Ones party. Usually that place is packed for Michael T and Sam Valentine but it was a little dead tonight. I will just assume that a Motley Crue cover band was playing somewhere and that’s where everyone was.  Keith bounced early and I had a super awkward run in with a former friend and ended my night listening to a conversation about Harry Potter tattoos. I decided I had had enough and ran full speed to a cab and went the fuck home.

All in all it was actually a pretty fun night despite my complaints.  Maybe we can do it again next week… or maybe I’ll just stay home and rewatch the Godfather Trilogy.  Whatever works…
