"I Happened to Hit the Sexual Revolution on the Head"
Yes this interview with Alan Stillman really is the best thing ever. It is about the end of the era of house parties and how people began to meet each other in bars! And it is sort of important to remember that it was not long since "good girls" didn't go to bars, and before that, you know, they were kept entirely out of bars. And so he founded T.G.I. Friday's.
Wherer are my comments/ His had been an ongoing problem…Iwant my comments
I'm sorry, what's that, buddy?
I think he's saying that little Timmy fell down the old well!
Good thing he didn't kick it in the junk.
Look, maybe I embarrass you but my peeps like to know what I'm thinking at any given moment… shit that took like a lot of effort to sound sane
Your peeps are in your head; can't they already tell what you're thinking without you writing it down?
Does Alan Stillman also hate our troops?
I don't know, but I bet he really digs the new Girl Talk record. "Next level shit."
Dude! Why am I just now thinking of MARCOing up an image of the shuffle icon with NEXT LEVEL SHIT superimposed on top?

The real question is how Mad Men will use this.
"I didn’t want to sell out, but I didn’t not want to either." Exactly.
I was totally imagining Don Draper in a T.G.I. Friday's while reading this.
Also: Edible Geography is a damn fine blog.
It's not selling out, it's buying in.
Timely on the occasion that his son's new restaurant just picked up a star in the NY Times today. The whole procession is mindblowing.
I used to live catty corner from TGI – which is now Baker Street. I bet my shitty apartment was shitty back then too.
But filled with models and stewardesses! It was apparently a zoning regulation back then.
"They like the social mores of the coastal elites, generally."
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for THE COASTAL ELITES!!!!!!!!!!
Glad that when I have a craigslist casual encounter in the TGIFridays bathroom I'm meeting the founder's expectations.
That's some next-level HumptyHump shit, right there. Same great nose, more calories.
Shitty apps with a side of VD?
KIDDING!!!
VD is the main course…
"Vegan Diddlydip."
The other thing is that my timing was exquisite, because I opened T.G.I. Friday’s the exact year the pill was invented.
My business plan was to leverage the introduction of over-the-counter Zantac.
Penicillin killed the Bloomin' Onion.
It's weird to think casual dining may have given an assist to gender equality. But it's even weirder to think that was the unintended benefit of a guy wanting to poke flight attendants.
"To me, if you’re not in the kitchen cooking, then I’m not eating your food." GOLD. great read.
