Red bidden

I mean bed ridden. Halfway through the edit day at the maritime, I was literally hit by the bullet version of the flu-train and I barely survived. I had felt a little sick in the morning on my ride over the Williamsburg bridge, but I've never had the onset of any sickness happen that fast in my life. Thank god the photographer was so nice and got me an SUV to take all the gear back to the office and then take me home. I didn't get out of bed all day friday, or most of saturday for that matter. I'm still not feeling all that spectacular.

I did however make it to my friends birthday part at the east river bar for a little while and managed to witness this....


We had the pre-funk for the party at my house and our friend Poe (above) stripped for our friends birthday. The production values were incredible (literally of Jerry Bruckheimer proportions) and included fog machines, laser light shows, "Eat it" by Weird Al and of course the male stripper. He kept it real at the bar later on but its just not the same without professional level special effects. But I'm sure it was memorable for everyone else at the bar to see a real life version of Nintendo's Mario strip down to America flag print briefs.

Last night turned quickly to a photo-orgy, as most of the major photo-industry businesses were represented, from big name photographer's assistants, to heads of digital companies and photo studios. To bad I felt like shit, but I still managed to dominate the field in a few rounds of Big buck hunter.
