LAST NIGHT'S PARTY: DAVE & BUSTERS

After work on Thursday I went to Dave and Busters in Times Square for a work outing. On a side note, following the law that requires chain restaurants to list calorie counts, it is shocking how many calories are in 99 percent of the items on the D&B menu. Wow. This photo cracks me up, mainly due to the combination that Lorenzo has going here: Funny Transformers t-shirt, huge glass of beer, and a plastic orange uzi. It's almost art.

Here I am with Dana gettin' our ethnically ambiguous terrorist hurtin' on! I freakin' loved this game. I like the assault rifle style controller, which is more comfortable over a sustained period of play, as well as the single-semi-auto fire switch located near the trigger. Added a nice depth to the game play. [Photo credit: Lorenzo]

Gina and Oliver with some serious Gatling shooting action. These games are a good distraction and stress reliever from a busy work week!

I won a crapload of tickets!!! Okay, maybe not. This machine was undergoing some maintenance or something.

A jumping...game. Perfect for...jumping photos. Although this game is surprisingly more difficult that it seemed! So I just went for some style points here. [Photo credit: Lorenzo]

Skee ball! My future penthouse apartment loft in Soho is going to have a couple of these machines.

This was one of those "fully immersive" games... It just made me motion sick. [Photo credit: Lorenzo]

The End.

LAST NIGHT'S PARTY: EA TIGER WOODS 09 LAUNCH PARTY

On Wednesday night I went to the launch party for the latest updated version of Tiger Woods golf from EA. According to People, Tiger Woods and Michael Phelps were there as well. I didn't see them. I did however see some dude from SNL. It was crowded when we got there.

N and his friend Sarah.

Camera crews were all over the place.

They had XBox 360s lined up so people could demo the game.

After enjoying the top shelf open bar and food, I hopped over the velvet rope to hang out in an empty VIP area on our way out. Afterwards I asked a nearby bouncer to not hit me. He was good natured about it, as bouncers typically consider the red rope as something holy. Stepping over it or removing it usually results in that person's death. Or in Kzar's case, getting kicked out the club.

N on the phone doing quasi-boyfriend duties. And giving the camera a middle finger. [Side note: Noticed that the Canon SD1000...doesn't do very well in evening settings. I'm getting a lot of bad unfocused shots--My old SD was much better...]

While N was on the phone I took a photo of the empty entrance and red green carpet.

We still wanted to party so we walked down to the Belmont Lounge. There are...a lot of fingers in the air in this photo. Haha.

N's friend Jo.

Then some dude came over to me, pointed at Jo and asked, "She's your girl right?" When I said no, he said, "Well, I just want to DANCE!" Jo good-naturedly allowed him to spin her around.

A bit later I said goodbye, and walked to McDonalds in Union Square for some cheeseburger, 4 piece nugget, and fries combination, which was followed by an ice cream drumstick when I got home.

The End.

PARTY LIST

Celebrate the true president on President's Day, Monday February 18.  This date also corresponds with Dr. Dre's birthday.  El presidente.  Word.  The president of hip hop...and rumor has it that Dre is also the one truly responsible for creating Huckabee. The peeps at LVHRD are having a party in his (Dre's that is, not Huckabee) honor along with free 40s from 10 pm to 4 am.
