If you're me, you spent most of the afternoon wishing you were in NYC at the Behemoth Man of Mailer's Carnegie Hall memorial event. Prominent friends (authors and acolytes all) such as Didion, T. Brown, S. Penn, his nine children, and humble Behemoth archivist J. M. Lennon, were scheduled to speak on the man, the myth, the behemoth.
I'm out of the Behemoth archives loop at this point, but apparently an invite to the event did get sent to Harry's, although it did not include plane tickets. Not that I would have been tagged to go. Still, it would have been brilliant to be there, for all sorts of selfish, curious reasons. I look forward to reading about it on Gawker tomorrow.
Bless you, Behemoth!
