NYE in NYC Update!

SELF,

Well I have returned to Los Angeles, after my trip to the "Big Apple." I had a blast.

This is a highlight recap.... of New Year's Eve/Day.

So I arrived in JFK at about 6pm local time. I manage to take the subway from the airport to my brother's, Schehimazade, place in Brooklyn. Standing on the train platform was COLD AS HELL. (this is an above ground station) As I was riding the airport tram, I saw snow on cars and the ground. This was cool for me cause we don't get that up-close and personal with snow in Los Angeles (unless in the mountains.)

I climb the freaking 4 flights to Schehimazade's condo....(the building needs an elevator!) I was greeted by Schehimazade and his roommate, LOL I'm going to call her Hueyleen due to a similar hairstyle like Huey on "The Boondocks," (which we happen to watch a few episodes of that night.)
Hueyleen was pulling some chicken wings out the oven. On the stove was a dish of macaroni and cheese and a dish of sweet potatoe casserole with marshmellows on top waiting their turn to get in the oven.

As Hueyleen put Mac and potatoes in the oven, she was trying to figure out what kind of sauce to put on the wings. Well I'm starving from the flight so I ask for a taste, and she lets me.

I bite in and it's good...and it's not just cause I was hungry.
Hueyleen tried to stop me from eating it cause she had second thoughts about her culinary skills. When I told her how good it was and that she didn't need a sauce, she said, "since your family THROWS D
O
W
N, If you say it's good it must be, so I'll leave them alone." (She was in LA for Thanksgiving one year working and she spent the holiday with me and my family, so she knows lol.)

Here she is in the kitchen, it was suppose to be a candid shot, but she was well aware of the camera's presence and posed for it!



Guests start to arrive. We eat, we drink, we laugh, we play Taboo, and of course we toast in the new year. The party went all night...like til 11am! There were folks who showed up at 5am. There were some who left then came back later. Our first bite to eat of the New Year was shrimp that Schehimazade fried at like 6 or 7am. LOL all that said, it was still a really low-key event.

Here are a few pics I took. Hueyleen is suppose to email me the pics she took...they'll be in a later post.

So we have here, Schehimazade in the background, Hueyleen taking a picture with her camera, and He's-Str8-Sadly, named thusly because sadly he is straight. AINT HE SEXY THOUGH! His wife and I think sister-in-law were also in attendance.


This is Mr. Six-No trump...name thus cause when we play Bid Whist he is quick to call that bid. Did I mention that I can't STAND him sometimes when he does that....particularly when he does it and wins! LOL love him otherwise.


The rest are just more candid shots. Enjoy. The two fair-skin bald guys I think are dating or are a couple. (I SO would be exicted to be invited into their bed! LOL.) The guy in the white is a friend of Schehimazade, I'm calling Opposite because his first and middle name are excatly opposite of Schehimazade's.



Unfortunately I don't have pics of some of the other guest, I was hoping Hueyleen would have sent me her pictures by now but she hasn't yet. =(

Part of the later crew to arrive that hung out until the end are of course folks of whom I don't have pictures. Just to quickly list them: Caliyorker (a friend of mine who recently moved to NYC from Cali), Sexyback (another Whist player who when I met him had a goal to bring sexy back like Justin Timberlake, which he did..but really didn't have far to go to do it in the first place.) Flirtfriend (a hottie who I periodically flirts with, harmlessly.) Lastly the two Nicks that were dubbed Wicked Nick and Saint Nick, they came with Flirtfriend. Wicked Nick was just that....lol the things that came out of his mouth. Saint Nick I thought was very sexy and after some mutual flirting I was so disappointed to hear that he was in a relationship. He and his lover were having problems which is why they weren't together for the holiday.

More Later.

Sincerely,
Pharaoh
