Last night was a long night for me, however the best part had to be Hero Design’s 13th Months on Allen party. I drug(dragged?) Angel with me, and we headed to 93 Allen around 7:30… A homo has to show up early, but not too early; gotta make that fabulous entrance. Apparently, yuppies feel this is appropriate too, as uninteresteding folk converged into that small storefront around the same time, making for a very multicultured congestion. I guess thats what rubbing elbows with the snobs really is.

Whatever though, it was great that everyone showed up: hipsters, yuppies, homos, these crazy kids from Syracuse that snatched a box of Dunny’s before I had a chance to a few months ago (bastards), and all the other friends and family of Beth and Mark’s. The boys from that Block Club magazine also made an appearance. I got a kick out of being able to impart some of my love and knowledge of the toys to Patrick, and got them to experience the joy of opening a blind box item. I also imparted the importance of cluttering you desk with toys instead of papers, makes you look creative and less stodgy.

I also managed to snag Mark and ask him a couple of questions about his first 13th months on Allen. Click the play button to listen and follow through the jump for more picture and who else I bumped into.
