Clipper City, NY

Another beautiful outing on the East River/Hudson, dressed as pirates in honor of National Talk Like a Pirate Day.

The evening also included a trip to Mason Dixon (yes, there are mechanical bulls in NYC) and National Underground (owned by Gavin DeGraw).

MTV VMA's

The MTV Video Music Awards were back in NYC this year.

Pre-party at Terminal 5 (home of the Wade Robson Project) included Kid Cudi, Phoenix, and the cast of Real World Cancun.

Cheers to friends in high places!

8 Years Later...

The City is in good spirits (minus the chilly, damp weather).

The emotional TV coverage makes me glad that I missed it, scared for it to happen again, but proud to be a part of strong culture that's ready to move on.

The lights will beam until dawn.
