Thaaaat’s right, it’s our buddy big Bri’s birthday today. Have a great day!
Here’s a video of him skydiving last week. It’s so crazy I’m planning on going with him next time.

When Derek asked if I had any interest in going to the Dominican Republic for a little spa/beach vacation it sounded too good to be true! The next thing we know Byrdie, Lyle, Derek, Max and I are on a plane down to the DR for a long weekend of sun and fun and birthday celebrations.
We really had no idea what to expect, our excitement grew as we pulled up to our gorgeous villa at Casa de Campo. Immediately we hopped on our golf carts and took a spin around the resort to get a lay of the land. Upon returning we found a tarantula friend in the kitchen, that’s right a mother fucking wild tarantula! Five kids from the city trying to deal with exotic wildlife was a site to be seen (don’t worry no one was harmed in the removal of it, including Spidey.) The following day we honed in on our acrobatic skills on the beach, drank coconut milk and rum straight out of the coconut and relaxed at the Cygalle Spa. The next day marked another year of life for me and we kicked off the festivities by shooting skeet clays, riding around the ocean on a banana boat, snorkeling and more spa treatments. I couldn’t have had a better birthday, the night concluded with dinner, choreographed dancing, swimming and fort building. Thanks for making the day so special guys! And also many thanks to Cygalle and Kim for making this amazing trip possible.
Onto the DR multimedia experience!
This is why your mother always said “no playing with balls in the house”
Max made a real video of the trip click HERE!

Went with Dandi and Scott to Summer Stage in Central Park to see Santogold before she hits the road with Coldplay. We got hot dogs and fries and it was about 110 degrees and impossible to avoid sweating. Pics of Santogold and video will be posted in the next few days. Later on, after a couple hours of laying in front of high powered fans, we all went out. Someone called Van Scott was djing, I’ve never heard him before but he got Dandi and Sophia doing some kind of dance with a broom that was impressive to watch, also Jack got a new tattoo, pictured with dana and muscles below.
Every Thursday for the past four weeks Greg and Leslie Arfin have been hosting a 90’s music only night at Bowery Electric. It’s not really a party party, but more just a bar for friends to go have a drink and hang out.
Last night was our first time, since we’ve been away for so long, and it was A LOT of fun. There was even a walk off during Rupaul’s Supermodel…. We think this is probably the only party outside of SPLASH or POP ROCKS where we could hear this.

Paper had a party last night, with N.E.R.D performing, we went for a bit but didn’t stay for N.E.R.D cause it was way too fucking hot. If you’re not in the city right now it’s 100 degrees here and for come reasons bars and clubs have decided not to blast the AC, so annoying. It was nice to see Junior, Alexandre Technique and Arthur Baker (of new order fame), we’ve been gone over a month, so it’s really nice to see everyone again.
Here are some pics from last night and dinner afterwards.
After Spain we headed back to Paris for two days. Went to K7, then met up with Jesse and Al (MSTRKRFT) for dinner at Amour before their gig at social club. We made it an early night since we had to get up early for the shoot. The last night we met up with The Teenagers for another night at social club for the Metronomy show. Check them out, we never saw them live before and they are really great.
Leaving Paris we were on an Air France flight but because we got there late we were offered the option of Air India right then or wait 6 hours for the next Air France flight. We went with Air India however the only seat available was between two giant men who had been traveling direct from Mumbai to New York and the lay over was in Paris, but Air India doesn’t allow people to get off…..we didn’t want to spend the 7 hour flight between them so we got seated in the jump seats, which are the seats for crew beside the wing exit and face the opposite direction of the rest of the passengers….. thankfully we ended up on the same flight as our good friend Mike who happened to also be returning from Paris on the same flight.
Greg was stuck in New York so we found a temporary new member:

Written by LeighGeordon | 3 COMMENTSThe Bread & Butter trade show is going on now in Barcelona, so there are tons of parties going on to keep the people happy after the sun goes down. Carlos Diez was holding court as breakdancers entertained the crowd. Tonight’s soiree was sponsored by Marlboro and was set up like a carnival (don’t smoke kids) with free cigarette vending machines, and a truck filled with snow where you dig out packs. We quickly claimed our territory on a large circular red couch in the corner. Things got a little rowdy when we used it as a trampoline as Pau backflipped from the bar onto it. Pau continued to show us his talents by lighting Elena’s cigarette from the hole in his pants (now that’s a fire crotch) and Leigh tested out some condoms by seeing how much liquid it could hold. Until it broke. Geordon and Rafa were horrified. Gerard was covered in faux red cum. Then End.
