free vodka and red carpets
i’ve never seen so much free booze in my life. every table had a bottle of grey goose and champagne. nike had a nintendo wii setup and new shoes on display. it was the most branded party i’ve ever seen. if advertising is the way to free drinks sign me up. mike tyson was there as well. he’s stocky and fierce. he sat awkwardly in a ropped off VIP area the entire night. he acted like a kid at his older brother’s house party. everyone was there to see him but he seemed so out of place and uncomfortable. we got passes to the indiana jones premier tomorrow night. i have to find a tux to wear on the red carpet. i’ll post some pictures from the evening later today.
“When I see Tyson, I see a guy who’s scared, a guy who can’t do it on the up and up. In his world, he was never allowed to be scared, or even honest, and so he is neither of these things. He is lost. When Tyson is alone with himself, I don’t know if he believes there is one single person around him who is there because of his merits as a person. I don’t even know that the women would be around without his ability to raise money.” Joe D’Amato from David Remnick profile of Mike.
