Takashimaya New York
My good friend Christopher Ong invited me to his Mothers Day / Candle Collection party held at Takashimaya. I got to rub shoulders with a bunch of rich people and drink champagne. FABU!
230 Fifth
T, Rob, Al and I decided to hit the 230 Fifth. The roof had an amazing view but the crowd is fake. Bunch of posers! The one true highlight was our cab ride. It seems Charles Manson has been released from jail and allowed to take fares.
Sony BMG Party
Al and I really wanted to head home after 230 Fifth but a promise is a promise. Micheline had invited us to a Sony BMG sponsored party on the upper west side at eleven. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem but I felt out of place. I was wearing a suit! Regardless we headed up there and had a great time. We both walked away with stacks of new tunes.
I was planning on going home immediately after work to do a little cleaning but Micheline sent out a dinner invitation to celebrate her promotion. I’m happy she finally got some recognition for all her hard work.
After dinner we hit Tonic West, which isn’t really my scene but it was within walking distance. I’ve heard of Super Bowl Parties and Oscar parties but never a political / primary party. It seems Tonic was hosting one upstairs and the cover was seven dollars. Eat a dick! I can get the results for free outside on any one of the various news tickers lining 42nd Street.
On the upside, NY1 reporter Alejandra Soto was on the scene and I name dropped Sandra Endo (Sandy’s friends who use to be the political reporter). We struck up a conversation and I think she was flirting but I wasn’t in the mood to pick anyone up.
Rob sent out an invite for his band, Bellow. They’re playing at The Delancey on Monday at 7:30. I hope a shit load of people show since he is really talented and totally underrated. I hate seeing talented people not get the recognition they so rightfully deserve.
