TV PARTY was a television show that Glenn O'brien used to host with a bunch of people from the late 70's - early 80's. he would interview his friends and peoples bands would play. i read recently that someone is trying to replicate it for people and the scene of today.
he also wrote the screenplay for the film downtown 81, a kind of fairy tale which features some interesting footage and faces that belonged to a new york we can only imagine existed once upon a time.

number 177 john hughes February 18, 1950 – August 6, 2009
yesterday benny and i got asked if we were doing a tribute by the coffee guy.
'a tribute to what?' we asked...'john hughes!' we both looked at each other. i was like - i hope he is referring to the fact that i look just like sloane peterson, and you benny just like ferris in his dressing gown...

number 175 road trip
once upon a time i went on a road trip...my mum was in europe at the time and my boyfriend at the time twisted that rubber arm of mine to drive her new bmw down to melbourne...
damn did we get busted when she rang up from the amalfi coast knowing that we had the car down there. we listened to dr octagon non, non stop, watched some ones mothers karma sutra video and slept in a room next to a dominatrix that shot up speed.

number 172 roots
i used to sit in a studio with this amazing girl, and we would bake cakes, eat apricot delights and drink coffee...some how we convinced general pants to purchase 500 of one type of tshirt, plus almost the same quantity in another style and some crazy bag we probably thought up the night before the presentation - we felt like we had won the lottery...a $20k order for 2 kids that really knew not one thing about making 10 tshirts, let alone over 1000 units of anything.
we delivered the stock in boxes that were covered in spray painted fluro cats...the paint for some reason didn't fix, so as soon as you brushed past the box you were covered in paint - but we loved the boxes more than the tshirts, so we didn't care who we pissed off because they ended up with unremovable fluro paint on them by that stage.
NOW she has resurrected the main source of our inspiration...tuba rosa...complete with recipes
