Readysetgo..hahahaha

Where to start?
That was a great weekend.
On Friday night, despite late work duty on Krissa's part, she and I made it to the Debauched Debutantes Ball.

From her office we took a cab from Midtown all the way down the East River to Brooklyn across the Brooklyn Bridge - a really decadent choice of transport for us, but hot damn if the city doesn't look magnificent at 10pm on a Friday night from a speeding cab..
Jason's pictures are here, doing an amazing job of making everyone look fabulous. Anna's, vying for the same prize, are here.

That was one hell of a party, and big thanks to Biscuit and Mike for throwing it.

Saturday passed, it has already been said, with fruit juice, coffee and coca-cola, a diner brunch in Astoria, and Krissa and I playing, as she puts it 'racy-racy' on the PS2 - the perfect hangover day, really, with the added bonus of productiveness - doing 50lb of laundry and having a mini-barbecue on our driveway, drinking beer and eating half-pound burgers on our street, watching the sun drain from the sky and taking silly photos of each other.

Yesterday, Krissa, Mike, Biscuit, Kate, Conrad, Jason, Shiv and I took part in the New York AIDS Walk 2005 (Official site here).

Starting in Central Park, we walked up to the top of the park, across to St. John the Divine and the River Driveway, and back down to our starting point in the park, a total of 10km, all in the name of the AIDS-focused charity, Gay Mens' Health Crisis and over 40 other charitable organisations both in the New York area and all over the world. Over $5,000,000 has already been raised, and if you'd like to contribute, it's not too late.

After finishing the walk we sojourned (by subway...we'd just done a 10km walk, remember?) down to Union Square for pizza and burgers and coffee and bitching about our feet and how it didn't seem possible that we all felt so dirty after just half a day.

It was more than a little manic, but it was a great weekend.

Krissa's and my photos from the weekend are in flickr sets. Hurrah for Flickr Pro!

On a lighter, and by lighter I mean more inconsequential, note, over the weekend the Autoblography stats crept over 90,000 hits since March 2003, and the 3,000th (non-spam) comment was left, by Vendela.
