Just in case my friends are still checking this thing I wanted to let you know that I'll be in Denver soon! I'll be there the 13th to the 15th. As you all know (or should know) Saturday the 14th is my birthday! I'm thinking it would be fun to have a party at Lounge. Let me know what you think and if you can join me in a celebration of me! Just kidding, we can celebrate you too. Also, I'll be back in town from the 24th to the 29th. That gives me a bit more time to hang out and I hope to see everyone while I'm there! I can regale you with tales of Manhattan apertment ludicrocity, crazy ass people, and the best nightlife that anywhere I've been has to offer.
