Since last Thursday, it’s been a busy week with a short respite at Martha’s Vineyard. Last Thursday, I went over to Housing Works where there was a special Southern Lit with ZZ Packer. I didn’t meet ZZ, but I did see the Other Nichelle, Author Tayari Jones (Untelling, Leaving Atlanta). It was good to see Marcy Dermansky (Twins) and her husband Jurgen was there, who I haven’t seen in over a year. Later that night, I went to Leo’s very Tumbly birthday party. Tuesday at the Tech Meetup, Hermann told me that reads my tweets and vacations in Oak Bluffs. Wednesday, I ran into Laena at Little Branch, and tonight (Thursday) I met Lisa of Tasty Lacy at a birthday party for a publicist. Whew!
Reading an old copy of Giovanni’s Room that I picked on Avenue A yesterday. I feel like both a bourgie and a hipster, and it is making me want to visit the continent.
Before eating a delicious croque-monsieur at Lucky Strike, I went to a book party in Soho for photographer Lisa Kereszi’s book, Fantasies. It was a crazy crowded at the party which was held in a Soho loft. There was one gray haired man walking around eating a bowl of cereal. I think that’s his “party schtick”. Other people tie knots out of cherry stems.
