Following the opening of Jane LaFarge Hamill’s show at Stricoff Fine Art; following a dive into the psychosis of the male midlife crisis and further proof of my inability to meet anyone in this town who isn’t already somehow connected to me through friends of my parents; following a mean martini and dinner at Tia Pol, he taught me how to tie a bow tie. Thus the evening went from A to A plus.

Is anyone hiring writers? I am a really great writer (and editor). I produce clean, witty copy with words that crack like little whips in an astonishingly short amount of time. I have a vocabulary the size of Neptune. The last time someone gave me a piece to edit, I ripped it to shreds, thereby wowing him in the process. (Nothing brings a man to his knees like lessons on comma placement.) We are talking TALENT and BRILLIANCE, people, and I will work for next to nothing. HIRE ME. I AM AMAZING.

At four a.m. on Friday morning, we fell out of the (green) cab, stumbled across Ninth Avenue, and ran smack into this pretty face. Wheat paste and paper cut-out still dripped down the plywood wall. Shepard Fairey (of Obama and Pablove fame) had paid my block a visit and swiftly skedaddled, seemingly minutes before our inebriated arrival.

Naturally our first inclination was to pay tribute to vandalism (however sophisticated) with more vandalism. We tore off a tiny corner, saved the rest for the denizens of the crack house against which Fairey’s work was affixed, and fell upstairs to bed.

The next morning as we set out for brunch, we tried to find the spot where this picture had lived, but all that survived were scraps and a splatter of paste on the sidewalk. Within just a few hours unwitting residents of my glittering Midtown block reduced Fairey’s art to trash. It is very likely that we (and Fairey) are the only people in New York - indeed the world! - who know what it was. And all that remains is the corner we saved - a triangle of black with the word OBEY stenciled in white, holding court over my kitchen, awaiting a visit to the framer.
