Guys, he's doing the American Library Associations annual convention.

As a librarian, let me tell you, it doesn't get any more gangster than that.

I hope he says FTBSITTTD to Nancy Perl.

Oh wow. Maybe he can also invite those dudes from American Chopper and Tommy Lee and Dave Navarro and OMG some sexy PORN STARS and STRIPPERS. And Mickey Rourke. They could all get dressed up in sharkskin suits and fedoras, just like in Oceans Eleven! (The original, of course! Clooney's just too Hollywood, you know?) Then they can all smoke manly-man cigars while rocking on out to Metallica, and for a nightcap, they can snort coke on the backs of hookers--dead hookers! And then drunkenly shoot each other in the face! SO JEALOUS!

He's lower than a million pieces of shit but I'd still rather spend an afternoon with Fry than Eggers, Gessen or Kunkel.

Do they deliver haterade by the tanker truck? I'm willing to wait out front to make sure there's a place it can park.

This is his attempt at "performance art" in which he will attempt to highlight the hetronormative values of hot chicks and fast cars. Aliza Shvarts will be his opening act.

And also, Slim's in SF is about as hard core as a kitten chasing a soap bubble in front of a rainbow on a bright Sunday afternoon.

ginger rant — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:34:18 EDT

I said it before, and I'm saying it again: we are a nation of bad parents. Why is the U.S. publishing industry rewarding Frey's million little lies by continuing to publish his work? I side with the olds on this one: (a) the country's going to hell in a handcart, what with rewarding young'uns' bad behavior, and (b) I prefer my food mashed.

For what it's worth, I knew Terry Richardson in L.A. around 1986. He was already in his mid-late twenties (I guess I wasn't that far behind him). He was in a horrific band called "Double Freak" which was like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but kind gay, featuring these twin brothers.

He wasn't a bad bass player, but I've always been amused by his "gonzo" reincarnation. I mean, Double Freak?
