Pee on me!

The Strangers With Candy movie finally opens June 28 at the Landmark Sunshine! Can you see Amy in the picture behind Dave and Steve? Apparently she signs her autograph with "pee on me." Here's what I think you should do next Friday: get a big group of friends together, go to Lil'Frankie's (19 1st Avenue bw 1st & 2nd St.), order the Frankie's salad, get a pizza pie, order some cocktails, (the Key lime pie tastes remarkably like the real thing). Then get more beer at the bodega and smuggle it in to the theater. Guaranteed good time. But friends and booze are essential.
Last night I went to the premiere of Strangers with Candy for friends and booze. The party was at Dylan's Candy Bar. The owner is Ralph Lauren's daughter, so I thought there would be candy from all over the world. I mean, I figured she's kind of a wealthy curator of candy, so why not search out interesting wackiness? The gummy teeth were the most fun, but the usual jelly bellies, m&m's and sour patch candies were all free at the party, so I'm not really complaining, just commenting. Note: If you want more interesting stuff, go to the Lower East Side and Economy Candy (108 Rivington Street) or the Sweet Life (63 Hester St.).
Let's move on to the food. Now, I've told you how I was disappointed with my last wrap party's food, right? Basically it was a movie about a French trained chef, but the food for the party was sliders and chicken on a stick. It didn't go with the concept of the movie.

Strangers with Candy is trashy fun, so the Costco food was perfect! Chicken nuggets (salty&greasy delicious), mini sliders (they were tinier than regular sliders), pigs in a blanket (really making a comeback—this is the 3rd party I've been to with these salty suckers), bagel pizzas (not as gross as they looked), BLT bites (my favorite—it seemed healthy with that little grape tomato, though the bacon could have been crisper), paper cups of mac&cheese (these were a hit, though I thought the mac wasn't cheesy, but greasy and it seemed uncouth to squeeze the cup's contents into the mouth). I'm actually pretty proud of myself because I didn't get trashed on the free wine and beer, didn't eat too much salty food, but I did eat a ton of candy. It's now sitting on the craft service table at work calling my name. When candy calls, you better answer.
Below, you'll see me being bummed that this guy isn't holding a food tray, but a trash tray. There were little trays of chocolate covered mini oreos, goobers, and yogurt covered rice crispies. I wondered if they were trying to get rid of old stock.
