    Where does Nick keep all the copies of the Gawker Guide to Conquering All Media? Last time I checked on BookScan, they had sold about 400 copies.
    As to Soho House. I've been there a half dozen times. A nice location. Good view. But after reading all this nonsense I certainly wouldn't join. I'm actually involved with books -- and feature films -- and yes, I do wear suits and ties quite often.
    The people who have invited me to Soho and those I have met in the bar were in PR or advertising. Gosh, I just knew they were creative types by the way they sneered at my regimental necktie.

    @smithhimself: Gentlemen should always wear neckties. That the politBORE-o at Soho House have deemed that to be "unartistic" only proves out just how timelessly cool it is to wear one. Carry on, darling.

    In an effort to promote the new generalized feeling of bookishness, I'm going down there later this afternoon with Nick Tosches, Sonny Mehta, and Oscar Hijuelos and we're all going to take a whiz in the middle of the salon. I will be the only one squatting though. Bring your cameras, kids!

    I was thrown out of a Denny's the other night for not being artistic enough. I was also drunk and unruly. It was mostly the artistic thing though.

    I guess "TOO INSIDERY" is our time's equivalent of a historical society plaque reading "Nick Denton drank here."

    @ninety_nine: Fuckin' Brasseries. @James Del: Management has warned me that my intent to get a framed letter from Abe Foxman certifying me as an Anti-Semite is, while cute, pursuit of a hobby on the company's clock, so I've tried to curb it. But when reception isn't busy poisoning your java with DMT, I think Julia secretly enjoys that kind of thing.

    As a yankee who never thought she'd live in the South (and now do) I have to concur on the cheese grits. I try to sample them at every restaurant around. Smoked gouda, basic cheddar, fluffy, creamy....
