a night out
6:00pm
Meet one of Cyan’s investment bankers down on Astor Place, chat about progress on raising our film fund.
6:30pm
Head to NYU’s Tisch School for panel on the business of film. Roll eyes frequently at moderator’s inane questions and panelists’ equally inane answers.
7:15pm
Skip out of panel early. Head down to Stellar Network event honoring Philip Seymour Hoffman. Drink several vodka sours at the open vodka bar. Talk with three different women who actually end conversations with ‘my people will talk to your people’ or ‘let’s do lunch’.
9:00pm
Head over to Serena (under the Chelsea Hotel) for drinks with Coro Fellow Ari Wallach, to discuss both a TV show he’s pulling together, and a network he’s building of young leaders interested in shaping broader culture by careful introduction of memes. Discover he’s having drinks later this week with Leah Katz, who bought me in a kissing rally when I was in tenth grade, and on whom I had a monster crush.
11:00pm
Join my brother and my cousin Jason at Otis, a bar around the corner from my house, for bad beer and even worse game of pool. Embarrass ourselves thoroughly by making much-too-loud snide comments about other patrons.
12:00pm
Head a few blocks up to underground bar Single Room Occupancy to meet up with my lovely friend Tova. Observe amusedly as Jason and my brother both try to put the moves on the bartender.
12:30pm
While outside talking on the phone, watch as the cops pull up in front of the bar, clearly thinking someone is throwing a monster party in their basement. “It’s a bar,” I shout to them. They ask the name and how long it’s been there, and, apparently satisfied by my slightly slurred answers, drive off.
2:00pm
Stagger home. Manage to insert key into door on only the third attempt. Someone seems to have quadrupled the number of stairs between the front door and my third floor apartment.
8:00am
Wake up for morning meeting, noting that my eyelids feel literally stuck together by the gummy still-drunkenness of my eyeballs. Hit the shower. Rinse, repeat.
