Hurricane Sandy came and went. We are all alive and well here in our teeny apartment. My brother and his girlfriend also got stranded here. Poor kids. Anyway, we didn’t lose any power/internet/cable.

Last week, over whiskey, a friend of ours came up with an awesome idea. Host a hipster party. Genius. It all went down last Friday and it was as epic as it sounds. The decorations were awesome. Our friend Joe and Husband posing with a picture of a hipster that strongly resembles one…
