Vice Night

I’m at the Vice magazine party surrounded by the marginally famous and enough booze to turn me into a literal piss drunk. I arrive in poor shape from a Sunday spent doing yak and taking triples of tequila on an hourly basis. Stuck in the elevator trying to get to the Penthouse, uneasy, anxious and absurdly . . . → Read More: Vice Night

The View From British Couches Two Years Ago

If you’re anything like me, you love Aaron Sorkin. What could be better than two or three brilliant characters bantering quickly about current affairs while quickly walking? Remember The first three seasons of The West Wing?
