madame X

By anders pearson 20 Apr 2002

last night, Gerard turned 0×1D. a significant portion of the people in the office along with other friends of his managed to throw a surprise party for him. i was really impressed that we got as many people as we did without the surprise being blown; i didn’t even realize it was intended to be a surprise party up until right beforehand.

<p>so we all gathered at Madame X, a little bar in the west village, with a cake as one of his friends brought him there under some pretense. between madame X and some other bar that we ended up at later, we pumped him full of birthday cake and martinis and peer-pressured him into doing various embarassing acts (unfortunately, we didn&#8217;t have any recording equipment so there will be no future blackmail).</p>
