On the other side of the velvet rope.
Well, that was humiliating. After being told I had an RSVP+1 to the Tommy Lee party tonight, I went on to discover that neither of the publicists or the press person had my name on any of their lists. After spending a good 45 minutes trying to determine what the hell was going on, we gave up. My sincere apologies once again to my friend Joy for making her drag her ass all the way down from Park City Mountain Resort for nothing.
Maybe she'll have better luck at the MySpace party, which is going on up there. It's the party this year, featuring the Beastie Boys. FT's own Mark Bell will be doing the press line thing.
Which reminds me, Mark has been doing a hell of a job getting video coverage up this time around. Go check out the daily updates here (the latest of which shows IFC's Evan Sha-PIE-ro responding to his inclusion on our annual Frigid 50 list).
Anyway, the party. I guess I've been spoiled up here, because I've never faced the uniquely humiliating experience of waiting on the other side of a barricade while others of your unfortunate ilk surge against the obstacle like kids at a Who concert, desperate to gain access to a hot, smoky room where they will be forced to stand, four people deep around a bar, screaming their drink order while shitty dance music plays at 140 decibels. If I hadn't been with somebody, I would've bailed after five minutes and gone to the brewery.
But then I wouldn't be here talking to you nice people. So there you go.
Have fun with the three percent stuff they call beer. Man, the last time I was there, my buddy and I drank a case. We pretend staggered all the way to the cheap pizza place bathroom in park city several times before either of us would admit that, no, the beer was not having the desired effect and was just highly expensive piss inducer. do you like the "club scene" there? the five dollar private club joiner fee they hit you with is sweeeet isn't it? those lds girls are freaks aren't they?
to be honest, i'm just crapping on your good time cause i'm jealous as hell. go do something besides watch movies and hobnob. snow tube or something else fun...the mountains are pretty fun
