Late night Formal Friday action. A little class and a little craziness.

As a Canadian, I can’t vote. However, today, I’m doing something better than voting itself.

A few months ago, I was at lunch with some of the boys from the office, and I was racking my brain trying to figure out how I could raise money for my candidate for president, Barack Obama. Someone (I want to say it was Keith, but it may have been Toby. We’ll just say it was Toby Keith.) suggested I shave off my much-maligned mustache. I agreed, for $2000. Mustaches for Victory was born.

Fast forward to yesterday. After shockingly reaching that goal (I set it high so I wouldn’t HAVE to shave it off), I made good on my promise and went down to see Michael at the New York Shaving Co. to have my pushbroom removed.

The whole thing was documented in glorious 720p HD, so check out the ready-for-HGTV clip:

Thanks to a serendipitous choice in halloween attire, we at TBG NY bring you that unforgettable scene.

Unicorn paintings inspire us immensely.

So, apparently, according to Gothamist, NYC will soon be testing out some awesome new location-aware ads on buses. While I’m sure most of the advertising world will use these for really mundane things, like letting you know how close you are to Chili’s, it would be awesome if they became a utility – like maybe telling you where the closest bathroom is?

Man, coupled with all of the newly opened ad space in the subways, and walking around NYC is going to feel like being in an IRL version of MySpace. AWESOME.
