Hello, ladies! I'm so sorry for the outrageous sparsity of posts for the last two weeks. I have been a traveling 'mo, headed last weekend to Toronto and then this past weekend to Philadelphia and New York City. Jeebus! There is so much to report, I barely know where to begin. Let's start with these AMAZING photos of Maxime and I that were taken by Jon -- a reader of this very blog -- at Hiro Lounge in NYC on Sunday night:

So wonderful! We had an amazing time at Hiro -- dancing the night away, stumbling home around 4 or 5 AM. If you haven't been, you really should check it out on a Sunday. Amanda Lepore throws the party, and she's fierce. Amanda was just a few feet away from me all evening! Craziness!

Scott came along for the trip to NYC. We were visiting him in Philly, as he's just moved there to begin his PhD in German at Penn. God bless him. His apartment is AMAZINGLY situated in the heart of the gayborhood, and includes a beautiful Shinto screen that may have been damaged at some point in our drunken stupor. Sorry about that:

Our last day in NYC, we made the trek to Central Park -- I had never been and was determined to get there during our 24 hour stay in the Big Apple. It was a BEAUTIFUL fall day, sunny and crisp -- almost hot in the sun, and chilly in the shade. Perfect park-touring weather, as you can see:

Clearly, Scott and Maxime had a lovely time:

And we even filmed a very special "View From the Bottom" in the park!:

By the end of the trip, we were exhausted and at our wits end. As evidence here:

All in all, it was a pretty amazing weekend. Minus some serious drama our last night, which I'm not ready to blog about -- but stay tuned there. It's some serious shit.
