Geahan has rebranded the Accompanied Library as the Accompanied Literary Society. This possibly makes sense as the Library part of the Library does not maintain books or catalogue anything. All mention of the Accompanied Library has been banished and the website is gone.

During Art Basel, she hosted a dinner at the Raleigh for a book called The Worth of Art (2), an Assouline-published monograph of the commercial excesses of the art world. The party was sponsored by Swarovski! Ha!

But that wasn't her only recent event. During a recent fundraiser with Paul Haggis, the Accompanied Literary Society auctioned off lunch with drunken boxer and writer Jonathan Ames for $5,000 (less a 15% "administrative fee") and other exciting prizes such as WIGS and BOTOX!

I think I was the only sucker who paid dues to the Accompanied Library; they asked for $500 a year but after much deliberation gave it to me for $250.

So last night, conversation at one point turned to Brooke. She was supposed to be there—but apparently she told someone that "I can't support anything at the National Arts Club."

Still bitter! Guess those "rent issues" or whatever were pretty dispiriting. Plus, she also had some board troubles; art dealer Gavin Brown had been on the advisory board, but we think that also went south.

But Brooke has bounced back from the troubles! She recently befriended hip hop producer Damon Dash, who is married to designer Rachel Roy. We hear he has been instrumental in helping the Accompanied Library to acquire some capacious offices downtown.
