[Photos by NickyDigital]. The producers of Michael Cera’s new film “Paper Heart” and La Rumba Express Bus Company teamed up on Thursday to give several lucky New Yorkers the “bus adventure” of their lifetimes. The debauchery began as the bus picked up Charlyne Yi, Cera’s co-star, at Rockefellar Center and made its way toward Johnny Utahs in Midtown, where the actress participated in the obligatory wing-eating contest andbull-riding competition.

It’s been awhile since we’ve checked in on midtown bar/lounge with the mechanical bull, Johnny Utah’s. We decided to check in on the Monday night bull riding party that they throw. So, we’ll let Johnny’s ride us into the weekend! Giddy up!
Crack out ya calendars kids, there is a lot to do this week! First on the Itinerary: THEORY sample sale Tuesday-Friday at SSS Sample Sales (261 w. 36th st, 2nd floor). Theory is the BEST line for blazers, simple suits and work wear that can hold up through a night out. Later on Tuesday, crack out that cute little number you just bought and head to Johnny Utah’s on west 51st to celebrate Chris Coffee’s 25years young celebration! The party will be hosted by none other thanRichie Ri$h, former ‘Club Kid’ and creator of Heatherette Clothing! The door will be tight, so be on time (around 10pm) or just say you’re one of my ‘pluses’, seeing as I RSVPd extras just in case!
Okay, so maybe I HAVE been missing out on something….last night I stopped by the Bull Riding fun taking place at Johnny Utah’s on 51st. Trust me, the photos speak for themselves…Giddy up Cowgirls! All I can say is “Ruff! Ruff!”
