How To Crash A Party, Cheat A Cancer Charity Out Of Money, And Get A Lifetime's Supply Of Really Bad Karma

Step 1: Don't Be Intimidated By An Intimate Setting

Last Sunday, May 22nd, the Young Philanthropists of the  Cancer Research Institute held a very small dinner for only 50 people at Tela in the Meatpacking District. Most would-be crashers would be hesitant about crashing such a small party, where SURELY most people know each other. Not Silva! The smaller the party, the bigger the party crashing coup!

Step 2: Be Indignant About Not Being On The Guest List

Obviously Silva wasn't on the Guest List--but he did a good job acting both shocked and annoyed at the error, thereby flustering the poor PR person at the door.

Step 3: Offer A Fake Conciliatory Solution

Now that the poor PR person is surely thinking they'll be fired, sigh, and grudgingly offer a compromise. Silva told the door person that since they obviously hadn't received the check he sent in, he would give him his credit card number as collateral.

Step 4: Know The Guest List. Invent Fake Friendship With Someone Important

Silva of course knew all the right names ahead of time: he told the people at the door that he was friends with someone on the Council.

Step 5: Keep Cool If Your Cover Gets Blown

When said Council member came over and asked "Do I know you?", Silva didn't flinch. He quickly rattled off  a string of names of "friends in common", thereby utterly confusing the council member.

Step 6: Be Sure To Brag About Your Fake Career

Silva didn't ACTUALLY produce the Academy Award winning film, Crash, but it certainly made a good ice breaker!

Step 7: Never, Ever, Ever Give Out Your REAL Credit Card Information

Days after the benefit, CRI still hadn't gotten Silva's check, so they ran his Credit Card Info. Declined.

Don't look so smug, Priyantha. Karma's a bitch.
