this 4th of july weekend...

Friday.. when everyone had the day off.. our studio was at work. However, that night we had a surprise party for Mario's 40th birthday. He's probably getting super wasted right now.

preparing the cake (green tea/ strawberry/ vanilla ice cream cake!)


He got a $150 light saber from his pattern making assistant and another intern


Kevin was in town and we all went out to celebrate!


Erica was in town too!


Sake bombs were involved.


On july 4th i spent the day with some friends at Prospect park in brooklyn eating grilled hot dogs. It was a beautiful day! that night I went to the westside to watch the fireworks... around 30th street. it was insane. so many people filled the streets. at least a million...



I almost forgot. I also went to this really cool show tonight called Fuerza Bruta. it was about an hour long show with awesome music.. tickets normally 75$ but we waited for the last minute tickets which were only 25$ that you can get 2hrs before the show but they only give out 20 tickets so you have to get there earlier. I may go back again.. and take some pictures. best to go on a saterday night if you want a more lively crowd. overall it was entertaining but it definitely wouldn't have been worth 75$.
