Anyone remember Blake Ross’ reaction blog post to the Time 100 dinner he was invited to? His website (blakeross.com) has been taken offline and I wasn’t able to quickly find the post via the Wayback Machine.
Was definitely a crazy night. I enjoyed reading Linus' post.

Hah, didn't expect to see that while reading this thread. The post is here, although it's missing CSS and the images from that evening: http://web.archive.org/web/20060613002629/http://blakeross.c... Was definitely a crazy night. I enjoyed reading Linus' post.

BTW, some news from today that's relevant :) http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=748155473273&set=...
When seen from the outside it looks amazing - you get to talk to models, you get free booze, get in for free at all the clubs and have sex with models.
The thing that nobody tells you is that it's hard work. Most of the actors that go to the oscars aren't there to get drunk or laid, for them it's a chance to talk shop with their colleauges. When James Cameron is talking to Natalie Portman he isn't chatting her up, he's trying to get her to star in his new movie. If, by accident, John Cusack gets drunk at one of the clubs he gets into for free he'll be all over the tabloids and he won't get that next role, so he can't do it.
A friend of mine just came back from a tour with a known rock-band. They worked hard from nine in the morning until after midnight six days a week. The last day of the week they just wanted to get home to their families. No screwing around with models, no getting drunk and no clubbing. Just hard work. The rockstar life is mostly something the media makes up.
Remember that the grass is always greener on the other side. Or as Brad Pitt once said "Fame's a bitch man"
This post put a big stupid grin on my face, just imagining him walking around, and nobody knowing who he is. Him being far more influential and more important than most people in the room, and yet having trouble explaining what he does. It sounds like a family reunion trying to remember people names and telling everyone you make web sites for a living.
Related - my wife and I cracked up last night that the special effects engineers were relegated to a 30 second montage with Marisa Tomei so as not to ruin the rest of the show for the beautiful people :)
It just occurred to me that if I'd gone to the "Night before the Oscars" party, Linus would have been the only one I'm 100% certain I would have recognized and been certain about his name.
"Tove pissed off Warren Beatty by asking his name not just once, but twice" is the funniest thing I've read in quite a while.
I think I've fallen into an alternate universe. I could swear Warren Beatty died just after 'Dick Tracy' came out. Who did die at about that time?
