Because Tourists Are Money

Vonnegutphiles: Check out his first public reading of Breakfast of Champions, three years before it was published, on the 92Y Blog.

Dodegeballphiles: Social networking friends in the Italian Glamour mag.

Designphiles: Went to a party for the new issue of PRINT magazine last night. Co-mingled with Emily Gordon ("Cincinnati feels a bit Southern"), Jami Attenberg ("It did not feel like any of the media parties I have been attending lately. I only had great conversations, and met nice new people."), Paddy Johnson ("Ever notice that 25% of the posts on Fleshbot start along the lines 'We thought we had seen everything until...'?"), Lilit Marcus ("I love this song!"), among others who were there. Towards the end, a drunk and angry dude (not me) deliberately knock-downed a bunch of art on display. It was awesome. I felt alive and ate M&Ms.
