Comedy Power Elite & Sex Enthusiasts Convene to Commemorate Dirty 30 of Rachel Kramer Bussel
The stars were shining bright last night at the Happy Ending Lounge--a former Chinese massage parlour, converted to a split-level bar on the Lower East Side.
Writer and friend-of-comedy, Rachel Kramer Bussel, organized an awesome 30th birthday party stuffed to the gills with NYC's power elite and an ENDLESS BUFFET of cupcakes. Didn't know Ponderosa does catering out here. Anyways, there were entertainers, roasters, indie rockers, gay metal glam rockers, Andrea Rosen reenacting the entirety of Dirty Dancing, Todd Levin in his underpants with the word SLAVE painted across his chest, and most importantly, good times.
Liam McEneaney had a great time!
SPOTTED!

Elon James White couldn't believe how many cupcakes there were!
Michelle Collins posed the question--a question of which a variation should be made into a WWJD-like reminder bracelet--What would the NY Post headline be if this place went up in flames?
PUT ANOTHER BLOG ON THE FIRE
Happy Birthday RKB!

I didn't realize how many times I get photographed in that sweatshirt. I swear I wear other clothes.
Also that really tall couple is comedian Dan Allen and his girlfriend Elise

Nate, you're awesome, I love this entry. Yes, as Liam pointed out, that tall couple (Dan is apparently 6'6") is Dan Allen and his awesome girlfriend Elise Nersesian. I'm gonna give a full rundown and thank yous soon but I think you managed to get all the comedians covered - great job. And Michelle - I wouldn't expect any less of my favorite punster.
Also on site: Lang Fisher and Jules of Wiener Philharmonic and Josh Comers. Are you sure Dan McCoy was there? I saw Sara but not him, but will see them tonight at the last SSIOWY. Now that I've officially posted the longest Apiary comment ever, I'll stop. I'm glad you had fun at the party!

The Disheveled Dude at the End of the Bar was my fav!

I was there. Unsurprising that you missed me though, since I'm like a ghost. Woooooo.
Thanks for coming to the last SSIOWY, Rachel. We love you,
Wooooo. Ghost.
Sorry for this nonsensical comment. I'm drunk-typing post-final-SSIOWY.

I was there also. the only negro male who made lusty lady coverage (holla!!!) ...I'm a newbie and didn't realize I was walking among the greatest wonders of the world.
now I know. and knowing is a positive thing when in battle. which I'm not right now. but I hear that's true.
