Loool at all this

sorry but 26-18 is suspect.gif

I don't know if she'd remember me because she meets thousands of people, and I don't want her to not remember me, but I don't want to introduce myself as if we've never met before because then she might think I am doing that thing where you knowingly introduce yourself to someone you've already met and pretend you don't remember them to show them that they're not important to you and consequently you are cooler than they are. But Tavi was really friendly at Pitchfork, and also, she is 15.

she is so totally nobody's fool though. probably more of an adult than most adults i know. i dunno about the blog guy at all.

hes definitely falling upward

still creepy though

anyone read his book?

lol i never ever bought the faux-naïve shtick but kid must have a laser focus on his networking and social climbing

I read a few pages of the book online and it was all about going to readings and telling people he writes a blog and being intimidated by people who write for Slate and how people make eye contact with him and smoke cigarettes near him.

this is weird to me because i would read PRR in college when dude was my age. i was also aware of tavi at that time, who was described to me as a child prodigy.

i read his book, its not bad, hes tao lin but hanging out w/ more boring ppl if that's possible. it's obv a quick read and is relatable. the best part is like 3 pages long where he recounts applying for a job w/ an investment bank (only b/c he finds a woman who works there's cell phone in a cab), doesn't hear back for two and a half weeks, emails and tells her off and sez her company + their business ruined the economy, etc, and she responds showing him an email to HR that they were abt to hire him. it is the anecdote of a generation, and well told regardless of if it even happened

dating tavi would prob be v good for him like emotionally & socially cuz she seems well-adjusted and really healthy in those respects

Yeah that doesn't sound made up at all xp

such an upworthy anecdote!

i wish i finished the novel i started when i was 22 about an aimless post-graduate. it was similar to this book in its self-involvement but involved a hallucinogenic crucifixion scene too.

treesh do u think this shapiro person might be a sexual degenerate and future chemical castratee

getting an email from an i-banker you don't even want to work for who is nevertheless eager to hire you is not the anecdote of a generation, it is the anecdote of someone with incredible luck

i remember that cab/cellphone anecdote from his blog

Was happy for Tavi when I heard this like "cool she's got a bf", didn't realize that certain young New Yorkers were considered more hateable than others

oh believe me there's this whole thing

to me you're an entire city of Tao Lins and I luv you regardless

I've avoided reading Tao Lin because people kept noting that the PRR guy was ripping him off

Lol brad

I like Philip Sherburne's stuff and I guess you could review the Jeff Bridges 'Sleeping Tapes', but isn't this also an advertisement for Squarespace produced by Wieden+Kennedy?

In July, one devotee, David Shapiro, will publish “Supremacist,” a semi-autobiographical novel about the spirit quest of a narrator named David to visit every Supreme store on earth.

lol

the sponsored content of a generation

that cannot be real

WOWWW really? every store? all ten of them?!?

nope

Mr. Shapiro said in an interview that he had visited every store but Paris

is there a part about dating a quasi-high schooler

yeah, but instead of writing it, he just C&P's from Richard Yates by Tao Lin and adds a few lines of commentary

it's published by the same house that published marie calloway's collection of gchats and selfies. so

is there a part about dating a quasi-high schooler

literally every one of these dudes huh

right?

I went back inside and looked through all of the merchandise again. I bought two packs of Supreme-branded Post-It Notes for $2 each. They were selling on eBay for $18 each.

I noticed that the guy working behind the counter was the white kid from Odd Future. I couldn't remember his name. He gave me a curious look. He must have noticed me sitting outside the store for four hours.

He said, "Do you need a bag?"

I said, "No, it's OK. It's just Post-It Notes." I put them into my jacket pocket.

I walked back outside and sat back down on the bench. I lit one.

I texted Camilla, "The guy behind the counter is the white kid from Odd Future. I just bought some Post-Its from him."

I Googled "white kid odd future" and looked through some pictures of him. He changed his hairstyle from blonde to black. Looked cool either way.

Camilla texted back, "Thought he looked familiar."

I walked over to Canter's to use the bathroom. I got a pastrami sandwich on rye bread with mustard and I ate it in a booth by myself. I slipped an Ativan into the sandwich and ate it like when a dog owner makes a dog take its medicine by mixing it in with its food.

I went into the bathroom, walked into a stall, and drank some vodka out of my bag. I took 5 milligrams of Mellow Yellow and 10 milligrams of Propranalol.

I walked back to Supreme and sat outside again. The sun was bright. I bought a pair of sunglasses from the white kid in Odd Future.

who the hell takes ativan via sandwich

Imagine a whole book of this shit.

hoping for a followup about fucking on every casper mattress

This guy is like a real life carles without wit or self awareness

what the fuck is Supreme

the book is soothingly narrated in the flat-affect preferred by contemporary alt-lit.

the book is really fucking funny. i haven't read any of the press on it nor do i know who david shapiro is but it's really fun and stupid

Really enjoyed Supremacist (much funnier than Tao Lin)

that looks like a way less charming and creative version of high maintainence
