We dropped off Mom at the airport, and then took off in our giant leviathan of a minivan (Dodge GRAND Caravan, what up).

tiamat360 took the wheel, and we actually made it to NYC in a single go, in just under 4 hours.

There we met a whole bunch of awesome people at

khyros's apartment, including

mikevonkorff,

zezy_daemon, Bill, M.A., Kristen and Justin. We went (on

khyros's recommendation) to an Argentian steakhouse, which served seriously the most amazing steak ever.

zezy_daemon explained that this was because they just used much fattier cuts of meats than I was used to, but whatever. The restaurant was also playing a selection of particularly trippy music videos, which was hysterical since the last thing we had done before going to eat was watch Total Eclipse of the Heart: Literal Video Version. The night ended with a game or two of Botticelli and falling gently into food comas. It was an excellent party, and

khyros totally has my endorsement as a superb host/party planner, no matter how slow the service in the restaurant was!
