Shap's Shout Outs

Yawn, stretch, what a weekend, huh? The rain tried to hold us down but we fought back like drunken soldiers. I was told by the UHB (Unemployed Hot Bitches) that if I didn't start pulling my weight in posts around here, I was "out of TPM" so I decided today I would send some love out to those who helped make this weekend positively delightful (regardless of the hangover). Photos to come from those other jerks...

Greg Katz!
A close friend of the Mandel tribe and all around awesome dude, Greggy celebrated his 30th b-day this weekend with tons of pomp! Pals from across the country, including Ad's bro Cary and gf Jordana, trekked to NYC to fete the man of the hour and get totally wasted, open bar style. Rumor is, one of our own gave him his fave present! Also, mad props to the waiter at Essex who took pretty good care of our brunch party of 19!!



The Youth Center on 10th Street
After a tipsy brunch, we stumbled upon a swingin band of 9 years olds with guitars and saxophones - as big as them - covering danceable faves from James Brown and Wilson Pickett. It totes made my day and then made me bitter about dropping out of piano lessons in 2nd grade.



Fontana's
Dear Fontana's, you never cease to amaze us. Love, TPM

Cute Hipster Kids at DUMBO Block Party
Any tike who can rock a Led Zepplin tee and get down to the sweet sounds of King of France (you're a badass Matt!) is just lookin to be kidnapped by me. Keep the fire burning bright you adorable bunch of rugrats.

Mya
Could you be any cuter? I love this dog, even when she farts on me.



Sarah "Bushwick" Bartlett
Her "Q" skills are unrivaled, her hospitality neverending. Thanks for the delicious rooftop feast. I'm still bloated. Congrats on the amazing new apt, 4 stops on the F, 13 stops on the G and 6 stops on the L train was totes worth it for that lil slice of paradise! And the sliders, bratwursts, BBQ chicken, shish kabobs, gigantic salmon filet, Paco...

Tapes N' Tapes
Member these guys? How could you forget? They're back with a vengeance and have a new awesome bassist in tow. Sounded freakin awesome last night, lookin forward to an encore at Bowery with Cold War Kids and Daylen's boys The Figurines on Tuesday. Can't manage a ticket for the sold out show? Thats weak but whatevs, you'll have another chance at this July's Siren Festival in Coney Island.

Merida
As our #1 reader, lets face it, you deserve lots more shout outs. Big gracias for takin care of our weary crew last night. Xo

And to Dana, Mere and Adam, you lil shits better reinstate me!

Shaps i'm so proud of you with this post. You've extended your stay at TPM, but you're still out of the Doobies.

I called Neil earlier and he told me you posted. I almost passed out from shock. Nice work!
