We were not getting in the release party. I stood on the street looking at the red carpet as loren continued to call his boy to get us in. All while i saw a bunch of folks whom i didn’t know but are kinda famous - Megan Good, Some dude from project runway (”so fierce” is what blazey and loren just said), those 80’s swagger jackers the retro kids (and a few others). Estelle comes up and does her photo thing on the red carpet and about 20 mins later I told loren lets bounce.

But alas, we got a last min hook up from folks close to the estelle camp (home town connection) and we easily slip through.

Zach said it was mad easy, but I think i got a little in over my head with the detail (wall thickness, exact size of my windows, etc). I couldn’t figure out a few things so i gave up. I may have to re-visit it just for fun one day.
