Weekend Warriors

This weekend, starting on Thursday, was filled with amazing live music, awesome art, and a general sense of awe and appreciation for my artistic friends!!
Thursday was the Ex Debutantes show in Williamsburg, Friday was an art show at an old convent, and Saturday was a live music birthday extravaganza in honor of my friend Elise.

Nothing beats good live music so you add that to any event and it's bound to be a success.

The art show at the convent was really unique because there was a different installation in every room and in the old chapel downstairs there was musical chairs and then music by Donny Hue & the Colors.
My friend Deirdre had some pieces in the show, like the one below which I helped her "hook!"


And Saturday night, we partied the night away in Legion Bar's side room where musical acts included members of the Ex Debs & Donny Hue and the Colors and some surprise vocals by Lo Kelly.

It was a great weekend!

30 Going on 13

Hey Hey,

Yes, you guessed right, this post is all about how my best girlfriends and I went to see the YA sensation Twilight yesterday.

We did it up in style that only 30 year olds obsessed with a tween novel-turned movie can. We started out with brunch at Audrey's with excellent Bloody Mary's (get it, bloody!), yummy bagels, and chicken sausage. YUM.

Then we took the bus to the movie theater and were the first in line, with gaggles of teenager gals behind us. Our cover story? We brought our daughters to the movie but they didn't want to sit near us. Bahahahaha.
At any rate, we followed up the awesome movie with margaritas and Thai Food.

To those "haters," I say, if you can't embrace your inner child (or inner tween) and make a fool out of yourself, well, then you may as well call yourself a hipster. ;-)

BEST WEEKEND EVER

Hello fellow professionals,

This post is dedicated to this past weekend, one of the best weekends I've ever had.

The weekend commenced on Thursday with RHTL's DJ night at Last Exit where we toasted at midnight in honor of my friend Deirdre's birthday.

Then on Friday, both having the day off, Jaime and I sweated for 90 minutes in hot yoga and followed up our date day with some lunch and a movie (Rachel Getting Married) at BAM

Friday night, everyone dressed up and went to a grand Halloween ball at Union Street. We had Dorothy after the Fall, Katy Perry, the Morton Salt Girl, Sweeney Todd Palin, and some party crashers from the Church of Ladder Day Saints.



Saturday was spent recovering, but then Lo and I rallied and went to the Brooklyn Museum's First Saturday, which was AMAZING. We danced it up to Brit pop with senior citizens and adorable Brooklyn toddlers till 11. Then off to Soda bar in honor of our friend Allison's Birthday.

And it doesn't stop there folks! Sunday morning, bright and early, my friend Martha and I made our way to Lafayette and Classon to fill cups of water for the ING Marathon runners. Since we ran out of water, we enlisted the help of a few good friends--Abby, Jaime and Audrey saved the day and helped us fill more cups and hand them out to the amazing runners.



The weekend ended last night with a girly girl movie night. Lauren, Abby and Jaime came over and we watched Ladies and Gentleman, The Fabulous Stains. I have four words to describe this film: Diane Lane is fabulous.



That's all folks! I'll blog later this week with rules on how to be the best guest ever.
