DO IT 8.14

A very abbreviated version of DO IT this week - I've been preoccupied recently with a variably-fruitful search for a job. Ironic how unemployment has effected my blogging career, eh? Anyway, for those of you in the same boat, a lot of nice FREE listings this week; not to mention a fair share of open bars for those who need a little social lubricant to forget their financial woes (certainly not me - I mean other people). I will get back into full-blown blogging mode shortly - hang tight, loyal readers!

UPDATE: I'm not that into the hipster nightlife scene in New York anymore - underage hipsters pretending to be legal and aging hipsters pretending to be underage, both of them posing for sleazebags pretending to be photobloggers, or photobloggers pretending to be sex-positive pornographers...it started to get to me after a while. If you need convincing, check out Last Night's Party's recent "Barfing Beauties" gallery. That said, the DJ lineup at this Wednesday's BPM anniversary is borderline epic, and even I am super psyched for this party.
