h/t hardtoport – I have often wondered the same thing. It is becoming frighteningly hard to remember when we didn’t have the Intertubes.

Must be hell to cast a Reality Show, but that’s what they are all about, I think. So I’d go 50/50
Capote’s Spectacle and Mailer’s Self-Regarding Performance (which prob also causes cancer….). -

In media res – but I also love both you and TBogg as writers and honest men who make me laugh, and therefore keep me sane. Cheers to you!

We had the Clark in Chicago – and Doc Films at UofC, which really filled up the rep for me! – but I guess the closest we get to that experience are some of the marathons now.

Re Pauline: I started with “I Lost It…” – I was in HS and it had just been published in paper – and fell for her. Finally met her in 1972 (she was giving two guest lecture classes at MIT – we had labs, btw, the nights before: “Earrings of Madame ‘d” one night, “The lady Eve” the other). Besides being tiny and sounding like your Aunt Rose, what struck me in the discussion sessions was her generosity to even the most pompous or – in my case – jejeune question. She listened. And the classes went at least an hour or two over schedule – nobody wanted to leave, and she stuck with us.

You and Edroso keep me sane, every fucking day! Giants! So glad you, the L&TCasey, and MsTBogg and the boys (present and remembered) are all here and now, battling dumbshitism – a fungus if there ever was one – on the daily front. Love & Respect. Also. Too.
