Art, FreeChicken, and Celebrity Sighting

Megoon invited me to the opening of photographer Alex Prager's show in Chelsea.




The photos were pretty cool. They were all to do with the theme "Can't Look Away".





Afterwards we went up to Columbia (so pretty!) for Business School Happy Hour.




CBS (Columbia Business School) hosts weekly free eat and drink-a-thons for its students and their friends. It's always mayhem and delicious.

We got to the end of the foodline though and were told they had run out of free chicken.

Because this wasn't just ANY free chicken. It was HILL COUNTRY FRIED FREECHICKEN.

We were SO SAD.

But then... we went to the bar....and saw that one of the bartendresses had stockpiled a plate of freechicken behind the bar.

About half an hour and 3 trips to the bar later I noticed that the skinny barlady was not touching her stockpiled chicken.

So I waved a soggy five-dollar bill in her face and offered to buy a piece of freechicken from her.

She said, "Oh! You can just have it..." And handed me THE ENTIRE PLATE.

You don't understand. People were waiting in line in the other room for the fried freechicken, and were SO UPSET when they found out that they had run out. This was the last of the freechicken and there were hundreds of hungrypeople at the event. P

People in NYC are too cool and proud to ask for someone else's secondhand freechicken, even though they all would gladly eat it. Luckily. I AM NOT PROUD.

I asked for the freechicken. AND I RECEIVED THE FREECHICKEN!!!!!



We ran outside and found a private table away from the staring jealous hungryfaces and destroyed our freechicken.



Then as we left, we noticed a filming taking place.

We ventured closer and there were lots of gathered peoples.



Who could it be? Who could it be?



IT WAS HARRIOUS POTTERMAN!!!!




Not fully satisfied, we went to a beerhall and ate sausages.



Then I ended up at some Brazilian joint w/ Kayvon and Katie and Semmesey, in town from NOLA.




The pomegranate caiparinha was HEAVEN.

Rockstars, Accountants, and Finn McCools

Last night was the gallery opening of Pam Littky's newest project, Rockstars and Accountants.




It's a really cool idea. She chose accountants because she “wanted to focus on a group of people that would be uncomfortable in front of the camera, people that were not at all used to sitting for a photographer.”



Pam is totally beautiful and classy and cool and I think it's funny that she's behind the camera instead of in front of it.



Everyone had a swell time...



It was open bar...(and open carrots)...



...And all of the beautiful people were on hand to celebrate the wonder that is Pam.



........................

After the gallery closed, we headed down to Finn McCool's in Venice.



The boys were several drinks deep by the time we got there.



The Ks sacrificed their beauty for the greater good...



And it was basically B.O.T...on a Saturday.



Yay!



Nights like this make me so glad I live in LA. And am awesome.
