Last night was bitter sweet. I had a great time with all of my friends at Croxley’s but was sad to think about it being the last time I’d see some of them for a long time. It was fun to get together my friends, coworkers, ex-coworkers, and online friends and watch them interact with each other. Thanks everyone, for everything. I will miss you all so much. In September 2001, just after the WTC attacks, I moved to NYC and it stole my heart. I will always have a soft spot there for the city and each of you helped to make it a great place and a great experience for me.

I will upload more photos soon. I’m still trying to beat off the after affects of last night and not getting home until 4:30 a.m. A special thanks to Tien and Jake who took most of the photos last night.

Vincent D’Onofrio in SoHo

Vincent D'Onofrio

So last night we’re out on the sidewalk outside of Vintage where we just had a wine tasting. I notice there are a bunch of trailers.. like the kind that are around when something is being filmed. In the corner of the window of one of the trailers there’s a piece of paper that says “Law & Order: Criminal Intent“. I started getting excited and taking photos of the trailer and the sign since Law & Order is one of my favorite shows. Meanwhile, back on the sidewalk, everyone else is discussing how Criminal Intent is their least favorite Law & Order show. I get back to the group and Ted is doing his best Vincent D’Onofrio imitation, being all serious and striking a pose, when who walks up directly behind him? Vincent D’Onofrio. We asked if we could take a picture with him and he paused and then said “yes”. You’d think he’d be asked this all the time and he’d immediately say “yes” or “no”, but it was like he actually paused to think about it. As we all arranged around Vincent and handed my camera we were reminded by one of “his people” that “Vincent has a tight schedule, he only has a minute!”

I’m Gonna Get You Sukkah

On Chuck & Tiffany’s Evite I wasn’t sure what the Jewish terms “shalom”, “sukkah”, “manischewitz”, or “mohel” meant, but all they really needed to say to get me to their Sukkah celebration was “alcohol” and “barbecued beef brisket”! It was great to see a lot of people that I hadn’t seen for a while.. and to meet a few new ones. The traditional Jewish/kosher/Sukkah food was delish.. knishes, brisket, stuffed cabbage, mulled wine, and apple crisp were the highlights. “Rabbi” Larry did the Jewish blessing and also gave us the history of the Sukkah celebration. Below are some video clips from his blessing/lesson:

- Larry explains the Sukkah structure, (.mov, 564k)
- Sukkah is after Yom Kippur, (.mov, 604k)
- Larry explains which foods are to be eaten inside the Sukkah, (.mov, 528k)
- Prayer with the Four Species (etrog, palm branch, willow branches, and myrtle branches), (.mov, 692k)

- More Brooklyn Sukkahs at Satan’s Laundromat
