I went up to New York on Saturday with my friend Trixie to attend the wrap party celebrating the completion of the "Strangers With Candy" movie. We started with a few frozen cosmopolitans beforehand at g lounge and then continued on to Splash for a beer or two, so we had a nice buzz on by the time we got to the party at Luke & Leroy at 7th Avenue and Leroy Street at around 9:30pm.
We had a lot of fun. Besides the regular cast of characters, a couple of the movie's guest stars, such as Philip Seymour Hoffman and Justin Theroux, were there too, even though I didn't get a chance to snap any pictures of those two.
Here are some shots from the party:
- Evelyn McGee (Stephen Colbert's wife, who played Nurse Chestnut in the original pilot, Noblet's mother in "To Be Young, Gifted, and Blank", and Clair Noblet in the SWC movie), with Maria Thayer (Tammi Littlenut)
- Tammi Littlenut and I get "the look" from Principal Onyx Blackman (Greg Hollimon)
- Tammi Littlenut and I get "the look" from Principal Onyx Blackman (Greg Hollimon)

- The moment of Amy Sedaris's late arrival
- The SWC movie's cinematographer Oliver Bokelberg ("The Station Agent") with Stephen, Paul Dinello (the film's director and Geoffrey Jellineck), and Amy
- The very tall Chris Pratt's (Brason) head got cut off in this one because it was too dark in the place to line up a shot. but I compensated in this shot.
