The Standard (again), Kampuchea, and Los Feliz!

Melanie (Megoon's superfun future sister-in-law) and I have been making plans to spend time together and bond before Meghan's wedding (Saturday) and our busy schedules just haven't allowed it. I'm in Norway. She's in Vegas. I'm in Dallas. She's in Miami. I'm in LA. She's in Indiana.

Basically, we're crazy.

Well finally a week before the big day, things worked out and we happened to be in the same neighborhood at the same time. She texted me while I was at Splash Happy Hour saying she was at the Standard Beer Garden. Yay!

I had just been there the night before but it is a lovely place and I was happy to walk two blocks to meet up with my favorite Blake Lively clone.



We had a random "celebrity" sighting. The husband of one of the Real Housewives of New York supposedly (I don't watch the show)...



Beers beers beers. It's been a good week.




Afterwards we headed off to our respective homes to regroup and chow down.

I met up with Tim and Tom and Mags for some yummy Cambodian-ish food at Kampuchea in the LES.







(It's really really good.)

Then we decided to stay LES because Noops had informed us of some epic DJ playing at Los Feliz just a few blocks away. Love it when I'm stumbling distance from my home!






So Melanie looks like Blake Lively and Blake Lively looks like Ke$ha and therefore Melanie looks like Ke$ha so when we're on a dancefloor and I see her walk into the room I can't help but imagine her singing, "Now the party don't start til' I walk in!!!"

So fun!



Everyone took turns buying shotz.







And it was one epic song after the next.



Amazing night!

Zameer & Snoopytown

Now that I am caught up on Friday Night Lights, I can return to posting about life in New York City.

I'm supremely backlogged. So there will probably be a number of entries over the next few days.

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

We went to a party at Zameer & Snoopy's a few weeks back.

They always throw fabulous parties because they have a fantastic Chelsea apartment.




I also found out that in a few months they may be looking for a new roommate.



I have a suggestion...Me Me Me Me Me Me Me!



Methinks though that they are looking for a girlroommate. Which makes me sadnessface.



But I'm going to start campaigning now.

Noopur's Birthday Party

We descended on Zameer and Noopy's pad just as they were preparing to leave the preparty for the party.



We walked a few blocks to Meatpacking District where they had rented out a room in this fabulous club.





Smileyjohn was still a little off from the night before (his first night ever being drunk.)



But we vowed to get him to that happy place again.




I love when Jesse and Smileyjohn come to visit!



DannyHong sprang for some bottle service, which Jesse found to be very impressive.



So impressive that he spent the rest of the evening petting Danny and cooing, "WE LOVES DANNNNY!"



The beautiful birthday girl seemed to have a blast.




The music was perfect (I think Zameer had control over the playlist.)




We loves Zameer!




Happy Birthday Snoopy!




So of course, Smileyjohn tricked both Jesse and I again and only pretended to drink.

We walked through the West Village and back to the Lower East Side a little tipsy...



We stopped for pizza...





And then we went home to fall asleep to Beauty and the Beast.

BUT, once Jesse and I were safely asleep, Smileyjohn proceeded to sneak out again to...ahem..."meet up with friends".

He had planned to sneak back onto the couch before either of us woke up....BUT WE CAUGHT HIM!

How did I just KNOW this weekend would be filled with embarrassing stories?
