In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

November 11, 2005 Iman's Party and Hanging With Billy Zane
Mary Jo is in town from Boston, and last night she, Kim and I ate sushi at Katana and then back to the Roosevelt Hotel where Mary Jo was staying. We were told the hotel bar was closed for a private party to celebrate the launch of Iman's new book "The Beauty of Color." Through some inexplicable oversight, it turned out that our names weren't on the guest list. Mary Jo, street savvy divorce attorney that she is -- leaned in and subtly greased the bouncer $20. We were in.

I am disappointed to report that we did not end up seeing Iman or David Bowie, but we did hang out with a cast of interesting characters until 3a.m., including Billy Zane -- who later accompanied us to the Beauty Bar. He offered us cigarettes, though he did not dance with us. Later Billy's movie project partners invited us up to their suite on the 10th floor of the Roosevelt where the walls in the hallway are all painted dark gray.
