My editor at Huffington Post is also one of the people I most adore in real life. He lives far far away from me in Silverlake, but we keep in touch.
Today he is taking me to to taste the new menu at Gladstones with some Olds who live in Malibu. He takes me to beautiful Italian restaurants and private parties at the Hammer Museum. We also hang in dive bars and The Grove with all the regular common folk sometimes. I love Billy Silverman. He was a gift from Matt Lenski. Thank you Matt!
Meantime, here is a taste of Billsville:
He speaks like this in real life. My favorite thing about Billy is that when you ask him a question he usually responds in one of two ways. It's either "Who's to say?" or "Who can ever tell?" Occasionally there will be a good old "Could be" in there. Just recently got a nice "And so it shall be"...
ME: You gonna see Twilight: Eclipse?
BS: Who's to say?
ME: What should I drink? Beer or Jameson?
BS: Who can ever know?
ME: Do you like this color on me?
BS: Could be
ME: Let's drink these beers together while we simultaneously work and IM into the wee hours.
BS: And so it shall be
Tomorrow will officially be my first night off. I'm going to eat, then go to bed at a decent hour. Something I haven't done much of all week.

I FUCKING LOVE BILLY SILVERMAN. He was a gift to me from you. I tried explaining to my friends how amazing Billy Silverman was they didn't get it. I was like, no dood, you don't know.
It was so great to see you, ps. I think I might take you up on that weekend beach offer!
to be fair, that would not be my answer to the eclipse question.
