The Westin is doing its usual post-Orpheum movie party Thursday night August 9 (NOTE: This one’s on a Thursday not a Friday as usual), and this looks like an especially good one.
The Orpheum will show Caddyshack at 7:15. Following the movie there will be a theme party at the Westin’s lobby bar, and they’re encouraging people to dress up. Best dressed golfer wins a $50 bar tab.
This may be of particular interest to fellow bloggers Philip and East Bumblefuck Kat. Their Ptolemy organization did a “golf pros and tennis hoes” party about a year ago (one of the “pay-to-play” parties that Kat yaps about in her blog) with attire pretty much exactly the same as the upcoming Westin event. Some of the people who attended the Ptolemy party may already have the clothes needed to win that bar tab.
There’s also the chance to win a stay in an NBA suite at the Westin, with extra-high doors and extra-long beds, or dinner at the Daily Grill.
Interview with FOX 13 went well. We met them at the Elvis statue at Main and Beale, and wouldn’t you know it, we picked the one day when there weren’t any bums out. I think they found some Downtown before they interviewed us though. Looking forward to seeing it on TV tonight.
