Friday in NY: Drinks, "The Market," et al

This Friday evening, my good friend Maud Newton, of the elegant eponymous blog (to which I contribute the Smart Set each week), will be debuting her first public literary reading and discussion that she's hosting (Fun fact: Last time I saw Calvin, we were at dinner with Maud and other friends, including the sublime (and just back from Antwerp!) Carrie A.A. Frye, at 66 after a party and a tragic-looking Mary-Kate Olsen was at the next table, making out with an unfortunately Kevin Federline-ish guy who, of course, turned out to be an oil heir). The event takes place at Lolita  (7pm, FREE) and full details are here. Do join us if you're downtown.
