Last night I had, as another blogger said, a motha F N blast. Absolut vodka introduced their new limited edition Absolut Brooklyn at the Powerhouse Arena in Dumbo. The place was designed like an oversized front porch, complete with giant front door and steps, and stoops lined both sides so we could just hang out and chill. Well, and eat hors d'oeuvres like prosciutto-wrapped watermelon, and guzzle vodka. Absolut Brooklyn is flavored with apple (big apple reference, I think?), ginger (no clue), and cinnamon, which supposedly makes the vodka hit your system faster than if you'd shot up. Now that's the borough I know.

DJ Spinna played retro classics like Grace Jones, Slick Rick, and Public Enemy, and even Spike Lee turned up, nicely posing for photos with half the crowd. Also there: Star Jones, Selita Eubanks, some extra-tall sports dudes. So, if you're looking for half of Brooklyn today, we're laying on the couch with cold compresses on our heads trying to get the neighbors to turn down their stereos.

Lots of pictures here. Now back to the couch.
