Unfortunately my camera got lost/stolen at my small birthday gathering on Saturday night. Too bad because everyone was looking stuntastic on the stylish tip. Lesson learned: Don't leave your camera out on the table when you go disappear to the dance floor for three hours. Despite its loss, I still had an amazing birthday weekend. Thanks to everyone who made it so terrific, particularly to the Roc Boys aka The Tribe Called Quest, although we greatly missed the presence of founding member Cyrus who couldn't be with us unfortunately. The unexpected theme for me on Saturday night is best expressed by this James Bond classic, From Russia with Love, except for the guns, fiery explosions, helicopters, speeding boats, and tuxedo.
Update: Slate asks and answers: "Where did all those gorgeous Russians come from?
