mayhem and fun

July 4th, 2008 by Michelle

The No One You Know launch last night at Books Inc. Opera Plaza was fabulous fun. We went through 20 bottles of wine in about half an hour, which is always a good sign. Ben Fong-Torres put together this video clip. (If you’re wondering what Ben Fong-Torres has to do with No One You Know, see his TV Land blog post here).

More about the launch tomorrow, along with pics, but for the moment, a couple of items:
1) Sean Finney is looking for the woman in the brown corduroy suit. He wants to marry you.
2) Ross Mikesell is now establishing a presence on Google.
3) Oscar would like to thank the wonderful Joe Costa of Sugar dePalma and his daughter Jonesy for catching him up on his superheroes.
4) Mickey Disend might give you boxing lessons, if you’re lucky.
5) Katia Noyes won one of the raffle items and now she has to go to lunch with me, whether she wants to or not.
6) Big thanks to Peggy at Elevation Pilates for donating the month-long membership and the private consultation!
7) Matthew Jent will do anything for a $1 PBR
8) Chellis has book karma. She found a copy of The Year of Fog at an Israeli cafe at a tiny surfing village in Costa Rica.
