Ryan did a series of photos for Nike, and here's his sister Mary at the opening, in front of the show's

description, which highlights Ryan's "natural affinity for women." (I'm snickering.)

Our friend Shoplifter made the hair-braid wallpaper. It covered the whole gallery space and looked

awesome. I want some for my house!

Ryan and the road trip gang, who somehow managed to make it home safe and sound, and with

enough crazy stories to last a lifetime.

Me with Ryan's niece and nephew, Kathryn and Munchkin, in front of one of Ryan's pretty pictures.

Afterwards there was a dinner at Indochine, where we drank enough Cristal to drown a small army

of angry, boycotting rappers. Sorry, Jay-Z!

Ryan with mom, Marc and Munchie.

The McGinleys wrecked havoc on the poor, unsuspecting restaurant.

Um, I was gonna make an obscene comment about these obscene shrimp, but Ryan's family is

gonna look at this page so I have to be nice.

Afterwards we stopped for a quick refueling at Jessy's, who

conveniently lives right around the corner from...

Misshapes! Where we ran into the always-exciting Brian, whom we like very, very much. Maybe a

little TOO much!
