4th of July

bratwurst, cheddar jalapeno sliders, coleslaw, potato salad, grilled corn, watermelon cocktails, an arnold palmer cake from Momofuko, homemade cookies and oh yeah .. GREAT FRIENDS.

best 4th of july yet!!

watermelon cocktail

pureed watermelon + fresh lime + vodka

bratwurst

i went back to 'bama to visit friends and family and sampled the most delicious brat i had never had ... and i generally don't like them. it was made even better topped with a vinegar-based slaw as well as sauteed onions + spicy mustard

Bushwick Country Club

Bushwick Country Club .. it sounds fancy but rest assured, it's not! We gathered there to celebrate Ivy's birthday in true fashion with PBR's, Jim Beam Coke Slushies and an endless supply of stale cheesy poofs !!

Happy Birthday Ivy !!!!!

The Rakehells @ East River Bar

Our friends, The Rakehells, played out @ The East River bar on Saturday ... good times were had by all and a BBQ to kick things off was an especially nice touch.

Inked

My new tattoo is pretty badass but believe it or not I have yet to have any really good pictures of it taken .. which is what I was waiting for to post but oh well. I got it done a little over a month ago by Scott Campbell who is absolutely amazing!!

The image is from a painting by Walton Ford.

Gal Pals

A few weeks ago some of us headed up to Boston for Bill & Christina's wedding shower .. there are alot of pictures of everyone but this is a great one of the ladies.

Phish Summer Tour

Phish is back and summer is prime time for a tour. Some friends and I have hit two shows so far ... a very rainy show @ Jones Beach (all were clad in poncho's and rain boots!) and then a picture perfect show @ Greatwoods. Seeing so many fabulous friends again was as great as the music and the Jamgirlz did not disappoint .... not only was the music great but the event also marked Teresa's bachelorette party.

Later this summer I'll pick back up with shows @ the Gorge in Washington State (beautiful camping!!) and then rounding out the tour with stops in Hartford & Merriweather.
