Yes, August 1st. This will also substitute as my 36th birthday get-together. My actual birthday is July 28th, but I don’t have a party or anything planned, so this launch will be perfect for that as well! I imagine that after we’re done at Pulp Fiction, that we’ll take the party over to one of the nearby boozeholes, like THE ANZA CLUB or maybe MARTINI’S. Either way: I’ll be out late, getting my celebration on — join us, won’t you?
