My Weekend
Oct 2nd, 2006 by Viviane
Friday: Opening night at the New York Film Festival, The Queen. Spotted: Mary McFadden, Sylvia Miles (in top hat, smoking jacket, and walking cane), Rip Torn, journalists George Whipple and Richard Reeves, James Cromwell (he plays Prince Phillip), Brian De Palma, Phil Collins, director Stephen Frears (in business suit and red snakers), Helen Mirren (plays Queen Elizabeth, gave the royal wave after the movie), Taylor Hackford (movie director and Mirren’s husband), producer Scott Rudin, Cindy Adams (wearing orange Uggs that appeared to be molting).
Saturday: Roundtable interview for Audacia Ray’s upcoming book, Naked on the Internet, then a potluck dinner with Perverts’ Saloon. Several out of town visitors - Madeline, Jessica Haralson, Mikey Mongol and Meg. Potluck is great because everybody brings something, but it’s still lots of work. I used FreshDirect for the first time and it arrived on time. You can also order wine (they partner with Best Collars). All the wines arrived ice cold, a real no-no. Do they load the trucks up the night before? Last time I’ll order wine from them. Lots of snogging amongst some of the guests.
Sunday: Lunch downtown, then two more movies: The Go Master (an exquisite film, but I had a nice nap for part of it) and Woman on the Beach.
Oy, I’m tired.
Thanks for the invitation.
I wish I could have been with the group Saturday evening, but I still remained with you in spirit.
I always miss the snogging. Sigh.
It was great. Thanks again for all the effort you put into it.
Now, get some rest.
It was indeed a wonderful evening. Thank you very much for having us all there.
I’m also quite admiring and thankful for your deftness at putting me in the same room with people whom’s writing I’ve been impressed (sometimes obssessed) with.
I’m exhausted just reading about your weekend. Sounds like you had fun, though.
Holiday, there’ll be another time to meet the pervs.
Tess, you might have missed Saturday’s snogging but you are so good at making your own, too.
Flint, the admiration and thankfulness is mutual.
Lexi, I had fun, but not as much fun as some others did ;-D
Thanks again, it was a lot of fun, can’t wait for the next one (and for our cabin)!
I loved the brunch. Thanks for being such an excellent hostess!
