On my way into Film Forum to see Wendy and Lucy, I saw Spike Jonze in the lobby. He was waiting on his girlfriend Michelle Williams, who had just given a Q & A after the 8:00 screening. I asked him what illuminating insights I had missed.
He considered ways to tell me without ruining the movie…like waiting around till I came out, or time travel.
We settled on what you see below, the most illuminating A from the Q & A written on a card and left for me atop the ATM in the lobby. Very smart.

The movie was eh.

Or at least I met Fred Armis, the guy who plays him on Saturday Night Live. Look…

Last week we art directed a top secret music video for our friends over at Greencard Pictures, produced by our #1 favorite producer Melody Roscher, directed by our British friend Jim Canty.   We can’t give you any hints as to who the artist was except to say that he is so famous they have interns over at the record label trolling the internet to find out if anyone posts photos from the set of his music video before it is released.

Here’s a sweet little bedroom set we designed in the apartment of Jim Barber.

Here’s one of our top 2 favorite A.D.’s in NYC : John Mingalone.

By the end of the day our only responsibility was to keep track of 2 coffee cups.  Good thing we had back-ups.

This pin is from Joe Biden’s presidential campaign in 1988.

My father campaigned hard for him, making speaches and raising dough all over Westchester county. Biden had promised him a job in office if he won; Ambassador to France.
Biden dropped out of the race after harsh criticism for plagiarizing and lying.
Pop saved a few pins and is currently handing them out.

In 1995, at the hight of the market, my father (center) sold 95% of his swatch collection. At the time he had the largest and most complete collection in New York, including the rare Keith Haring series . Of the remaining “keepers”, he gave 30 or so to me and my brother. I rotate them monthly.
