Here's Tahera with some of her hometown crew (Angie, Mandy and Teresa) 

The party was a really nice surprise. It was cool to see friends from home, college and here in buffalo all in the same place. Here we see (from the right) Chris Tjoa, Jonathan Perkins, Amy Pribulick and Dennis Hall. You can kinda make out Oldfield, Julie Jamieson and myself on the left. Thanks so much guys. and especially thanks Pika. You totally had me fooled. You really are the bestest. 

We Know....

SO YEAH, we know! Contrary to popular belief, Tahera and I have NOT fallen of the face of the earth. WE KNOW it's been waaay too long since we last posted, and there's no damn excuse. So rather than dwell on our shameless procrastination, let's just move forward, America. Let's just sweep the indescretions February and March (and most of April) aside, and take to the spring with a renewed sense of purpose. Lets turn a new leaf. let's shine up the old penny. Let's BLOG AS WE'VE NEVER BLOGGED BEFORE!....But before we get carried away, let's get caught up. What the hell HAVE Riz and T been doing all this time? Well.....roadtrips

Taking naps. (Elly has yet to come out of hibernation, sleepy catface) 

and outdoor cafe lunches.

going to church... (this one's from Boston)

having strangers muscle in on our shots...

NOT getting our hair cut...

Rubbing elbows with the folky and famous (he loved tahera's yellow coat.)

Chillin with our peeps

hiding out

Going for strolls in the Springy spring sunshine. This was one of my famous lanky one-arm shots taken as we took a walk down elmwood ave. Now that the weather has (had?) gotten nice, errbody was outside.

oh yeah, and of course taking pictures of random Audis

did I mention being outside??

note the Springyness. This is a tree right outside our front door

Mardi Gras 2006

Mardi Gras is a great excuse to go out and party. This year, T and I went to Shea's Performing Arts center for their annual "Martini-Gras" fundraiser. There was lots of good food and drink, as well as psychic readings and other forms of merriment. There I learned that some people like to get dressed up, and some people like to get cross-dressed up.

...Some people get dressed up to go out, and some people get dressed up to come out... 

And NO ONE should wear a flaming red leotard.  

Now I'm not the world's most physical guy, but...yeah, you know the song. On a side note...dig that plume. 

Riz and Brett as the Ambiguously Gay Duo.
