Thursday
I arrived in New York pretty late- there were some delays due to lightning. I went to Brooklyn where I would staying and had dinner with Christopher at Cafe Moto. My plan was to go out but, just was too tired so just stayed in at Christopher's.

Friday
Randy and I had a lunch meeting @ La Bottega with a New York based website that we are doing business with. Later that day our models, Chris and Reese flew into town and we all went to a webmaster's dinner at The Park which I love. After dinner we went on to the party we cosponsored at Bright Bar. It was late when my friend Kristian picked me up from the bar and we ended up at The Cock. It was just before 4am when I was just too tired to continue and took a cab back to Brooklyn.

Saturday
It was the day where we took around the models to see the city- neither had been there before. So, we went to the Empire State Building, Ground Zero, lunch at Balthazar, and just walking and driving around much of the city. That night I went back to Brooklyn to have a nice dinner with Christopher and then I went to the West Village for a rooftop party thrown by I have no clue- I didn't last long- was very tired and went on back to bed.

Sunday
We all met for the Gay Pride Parade. We spent the first part at a party over looking the parade- we drank and hung out on the fire escape as Brent, Chris, and Reese stripped down for the way too excited crowd. We then went into the crowd and gave away polaroid photos with the models. That gets draining- It was getting hot and I was just taking photos over and over, changing film, handing out the promotional frames. People do get into though. But, as the parade came to an end we moved to Cowgirl and drank mucho frozen margaritas. It was a fun drunken mess for all. My friend Beau who I knew from MySpace came by and met. After disgracing the mannequins at Cowgirl Beau and I went and had a nice sushi dinner. That night Reese, Chris, and my friend Kristian went to Hiro for more drinks. It was then 4am and we drove to the Hustler strip club but, we decided just before entering that was enough. I was so, tired and had no idea when my flight was the next morning.

Monday
When I found out that my flight wasn't until 4:45pm I went back to sleep until noon. I packed, and went to the airport very early. I decided to just relax there, have lunch, a couple of beers, and read my magazine. I arrived back in LA at 7:30pm- the weather was so nice and it was good to be home. I went home and met with Brian- we ordered Thai food and just watched TV all night.
