The Scene at Griffin

What a weekend!  My past few Thursday / Friday / Saturday nights have become more and more crazy as the winter slowly comes to an end.  Time to share the dirt with you ladies!  So Thursday night was ridiculous… SOHO loft party.  Hmmm… the invite to this soiree seemed a little sketch but when I heard of the party from both a male and female friend of mine, I figured it was fine.   Finance guys and ladies ladies ladies about.  All enjoying an evening of completely free booze and an overwhelmingly decadent buffet of food all wrapped up in a luxe / any NYC bachelor’s dream loft in SOHO.  I arrive at the party around 8:00pm and didn’t walk out of there until 1:30am.  What ladies!?!? Don’t judge…  I was NETWORKING!

Friday night I had to force myself to lay low after my out of control Thursday night (followed by a brain flexing day at the office).  Lola came over with some delicious bottles of wine (Thanks dear Laurent!) and I cooked a big dinner for four.  One of our most beloved, free-spirited artistic friends is moving to Brazil so he can work for a small Architectural firm in São Paulo.  Not just any firm, but one that focuses on projects that will improve the quality of life for the people of São Paulo.  Wow! And what am I doing with my life again?  Anyway, it was a lovely evening catching up, sharing stories, and dreaming up our next trip… to Brazil for a visit! Yay!

And Saturday… I got a good night of sleep in the night before so I’m ready to go for a final night out.  Quick stop at a friend’s birthday party and then my three girlfriends and I jet off to a club downtown.  We are ushered inside by the doorman and quickly approached by a cocktail waitress.  “I have a table of gentlemen that would love your company if you ladies wouldn’t mind following me this way?!” And were off!  Okay, always worth a try… Probably scumbags but it can be worth a free drink or two (so bad… so so bad, I know!).  Well, they were scumbags and we let them know it but the rest of the night wasn’t a bust.  We later ran into a table of guys we know (familiar friends!) and we dance the rest of the night away.  Beautiful.

Love my weekends!  Five working days of reality and then onto the next… a full weekend of snowboarding in Vermont!
