My favorite bouncer in NYC is Rowe who works Darkroom and used to work the Annex before it became a sports bar.  Anyone who hangs out in the Lower East Side knows and loves Rowe. Even though he is a New York Jests fan he is still a good dude so I had to get around to shooting his new party on Wednesdays called Park Row.

It has been happening for a couple months now but I keep not going out on Wednesdays. I don’t know what it is but I really find it hard to leave my house on Wednesday. I finally made it out the other night and the first thing Rowe says to me is that it’s the worst it has been in the history of the party.  Still, I went in and it wasn’t that bad at all. Turns out everywhere was dead on Wednesday.  I talked to 10 people about it last night and everyone of them told me everywhere they went was dead. I tried to drop by Ella around 3am and it was already closed.  I heard Lit was dead all night.  I don’t know if it was the rain or if everyone was just some place else but it seemed like NYC was empty.

Still, despite all this I had a great time and the party quickly filled up. I met two rad Austrailian girls and hung out with them all night. I ended up putting them in a cab at 9am before finally going to sleep. At some point we ended up at this guy Chris’ apartment where I left my favorite Miami Dolphins hat and he played us weird Persian instruments. It was a good time, I just hope he contacts me so I can get my hat back.

So yeah, meet me at Darkroom next Wednesday, we need to do it up. Until then, click here to see the handful of pictures I shot at Park Row at Darkroom.
