NYE 2010 Part 1: Famous Friends
It really pains me to put up these insane New Years Eve galleries on two of the lowest traffic days in the web year, but it is time to get it on. I shot 5 parties and 900 pictures which will account for 6 or 7 galleries. It is going to be madness. Let’s get it on.
Let me start by saying that if you don’t know by now, I only drink twice a year. I drink on my birthday and New Years Eve, and let me tell you, I am an amateur drunk. I started off the night by doing shots of Brugal Dominican Rum because I live in a Domnican neighborhood and it seemed like the only choice. Eventually some neighboors came over and helped me drink and then we poured half the bottle into a Vitamin Water bottle and headed over to Europa for the Famous Friends party. Waiting in line to get IDd at Europa I was completely sober. I was telling Nick the Duke who was also in line that I had 5 shots, and generally I go from being stone sober, to completely wasted between 6 and 7 drinks. I went inside and it was still open bar until 11 so I grabbed a rum and coke. Instantly I was out of my head drunk.
To me I can tell a big difference between my sober shooting and my drunk shooting. I am not sure if you will be able to notice, but all the pictures I shot from 11 until about 2 when I walked from Darkroom to Lit and sobered up a bit, are pretty drunken. I spent a lot of my 2 hours at Europa sitting behind the DJ booth watching Trouble & Bass do their thing and trying not to fall over. My friend brought me water and I did my best to try and get it together. I was spinning.
I wanted to be there for midnight but I was aiming to be at Darkroom by 12:30 so I got out of there right after the balloon drop. It was a pretty great party though, it’s too bad all this fun stuff had to all happen on the same time. Also, shout out to the Mishka kids who sponsored the party.
