Last night I attended a party for Interview Magazine in hopes of speaking with their managing editor. Glenn’s an old timer like myself. I once threw him out of a nightclub.

I spotted this bar across the intercoastal waterway. the kitten club. happy hours 2 for 1 until 7. I decided to check it out. the time was 6:30. Inside it was close to midnight. The girls were pigpen specials. They all outweighed me. And not by a few kilos.
“You want a lap dance?”
