I may not be a fan of the TRUMP candidacy but I'm also not a fan of baseless mudslinging against the candidacy I'm not a fan of. HOWARD DEAN's suggestion that Trump was on cocaine during the debate was terrible and reckless. The other side needs to act better. I 100% do not think he was on coke. It's possible he had a DHARKAN NESPRESSO capsule with an intensity of 12. I had one yesterday and then went to work at SOHO HOUSE. I was grinding my teeth, tapping my foot and generally moving around in my seat for 5 hours. Any of those capsules over a 5 should be a controlled substance. Was working on 4500 unanswered emails and now only 4048 to go. Apologies to the REDEF staff. Maybe Dean was just alarmed by Trump and needs a CITIZEN THERAPIST. That said, Trump did misbehave in JFK v. Trump v. NIXON debate ... I'm long on HBO's WESTWORLD. Watched a few episodes. Don't want to give spoilers but here's what I thought of: LAS VEGAS. If this is the future, Vegas better up its pleasure game and start comping rooms to the techies. As a guest at Westworld says: "went straight-up evil, had the best two weeks of my life." The first episode sets it all up with A.I., fantasy, pleasure, sex, murder, technology, morality, cruelty, violence, ethics, reality (virtual and otherwise), makers, humanity, differing agendas and more more more. It's a keeper so far and I think it's going to ask us a lot of interesting questions about ourselves, our future with technology, and how we act towards one another when technology is a buffer... I love mashups. My friend JONATHAN SHECTER reminds me that the evolution of mashup DJ style in the U.S. goes from DJ SPINBAD in NY to LA with Z TRIP and DJ P then back to NY with STRETCH ARMSTRONG and back to LA with DJ AM then into GIRL TALK. All insanely good and lots in between... IFC's DOCUMENTARY NOW! is a must-watch. I've said this a few times, but the 30-minute spoof of JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI is just so so good. JUAN LIKES CHICKEN & RICE is perfect. "It's the only 3-star Michelin restaurant that I know of that's a 40-minute walk from the nearest road." These guys are f***ing geniuses. The show is one of the best comedic creations in years. Watch it right now... Happy Birthday to GUY OSEARY, LYOR COHEN, MATT MAZZEO, SAM SCHWARTZ, SEAN COHAN, SARAH JEON and ASHLEY HIGHFIELD.
