After swearing off going out last night, we headed home and took a little nap. That’s when the texting started. “Come out, don’t stay in, we miss you, you’re on the list.” We are weak and so we succumbed. At least it was for a good cause. We dragged our asses to the Bowery Hotel for the Art Rocks benefit. Lydia was scheduled to host but as she is working in Paris was not able to attend. The crowd was a mixed bag of socialites, hipsters and guys in suits. The bar was completely impossible and was at least 6 people deep, so we did something we rarely do. We didn’t drink! Others seen not drinking included: Martin Dawson, Kristian Laliberte, Devorah Rose, David Chines, Rachelle Hruska, Matt Levine, Ally Hilfiger, David X. Pruting, David Foote and countless more.
