Well, I was on top of this building at least — for Timmy Ho’s raging presidential suite birthday party at the Hotel Deca last weekend. Was a great time, and this was the first half of the evening. Turned into an epic night, concluding with 5:00 am ham and eggs with Mr. Eliseo at 13 Coins.
**Disclaimer** Drunk people cannot help themselves when it comes to the sampler, so there is more than ample airhorn and siren at parts. Ahh well, pretend you’re a couple highballs deep on the rooftop and enjoy.
Happy birthday, Tim!
