The insidious thing is Jerzy realizes he’s in the nightbloom of amphetamine psychosis but powerless to stop its militancy; trapped inside an acrostic gnostic boardgame. He laughs, glad to at least be able to watch himself laugh cackle! Cackle! m’gackle! when the epiphany flashes there are messages written on each Chloë/Elle/Hailee pantyshield, it’s up to him to capture the images, no other way but a captcha to string the codewords together. . & flashes too that Harry around the Middleburg is a CAA operative close to breaking the code stitched or drawn by persons unknown & made visible only by virtue of the honeyshot!s, that Harry’s website is a brilliant distraction, a throwing off of scent. And yet what does this have to do with mantises & hummingbirds, what does this have to do with Suge, what does this have to do with I–Veen & the Puppetmathers it must have something there must be something
Animal Planet had showed him so many things, other beings locked in civil war. Like that show Hillbilly Handfishin the men hold their breaths underwater reach into hollow logs wait for thirtypound catfish to bite down they surface with it just stuck on their hand like that then club it into the boat, the gators are cannibals a 600 lb one on Swamp People accidentally hanged itself on one of the gator hunter’s lines damnedest thing if such a thing can be called an accident the hook wasn’t even in it, there was a baby gator still in its mouth, that was cosmic retribution.
Tonight an award is being given to Young Hollywood Stands Up for Cancer! & Jerzy’s targets stand out whilst he clocks the arriving guests: Minka, Whitney, Pia Toscano&McPhee HAILEE FUCKTASTIC STEINFELD Nicole Richie, Tom&Rita Hanks, Vince & Kyla Vaughn (their infant daughter Locklyn: a honeyshot! of the future), KYLIE FREAKIN JENNER Cher Lloyd, Matt&Luciana Damon, Ethan&Ryan Hawke, ABBY FRIGGIN BRESLIN Khloé Kardash, Kathryn Bigelow, Kate Hudson/Matt Bellamy, Diane Kruger ELLE EFFING FANNING Meghan McCain, Rob/Sheryl Berkoff-Lowe, JORDANA BITCHIN BEATTY Nina Dobrev, Sandra Bullo——
Goes back to the car for a blunt & a booty-bump. Meditates on why he likes to shove crack up his ass of late. As Harry likes to say, the Devlin (Janet) made me do it. Jerzy sends an email of all images just taken to his NY agency, in the morning the tabloids will negotiate a price on what they like. Doesn’t matter if there’s honeyshot!s among em cause they’d never use em, never even think of it. Tonight he’ll print the hi-rez honeyshot!s himself, he’ll nurse & conjure & cull, Harry didn’t like to have any ol batch just thrown at him, reason being he was slowly losing his sight, irony of eye disease for the beholder of beauty, there could be no correction thru surgery/lenses & the fatfuck bless his heart was vain, who’da thunk it. So Jerzy distilled & uncorked only the finest of ripened honeyvintages——
He smokes the pipe, half-looking around for the dumbass security guard. Cheesy ugly fuckin garage. Offends his aesthetics. Where the fuck is Rikki. Still tripping on the Wars. Eminem, the demiurge, the Demi Moorge, the Demineminurge, the whole vexing mantis-hummingbird problemo. But an answer was coming, he could feel it, like a tsunami still 1000s of miles from land, before it top ramens whole cities.
Someone from Deathrow really needs to call me back. He looks at himself in the rearview, and says:
“They do, right?

Once inside the hotel, packs-o-publicists waited with simpering smiles (years of cowering & nearly being slapped/struck by stressed-out celeb junkies on junkets), tho as ja rule, 
s were usually fairly well-behaved at cancer gigs, even moreso pediatric ones — said publicists waiting w/nervous hi-beam smiles to sweettalk and o so very carefully shepherd VIPs to the inside red carpet getting them to stand there with the backdrops sporting COURAGE BALL plus a stamped smattering of slogans, Take Courage/Pledge to Wear Yellow Livestrong Day/Take the Pink Ribbon Challenge/Give Today, Cure Tomorrow + all the usual suspect logos of all the compassionate usual suspect corps, TOYOTA HUFFPOST TWITTER BEN&JERRY’S PANDORA INSTAGRAM GROUPON FLKR&tc. On said backdropped inside red carpet they of course would be shot by a 2nd group of parasiterazzi, these being of the less loose-cannoned more inner circlish variety, in bed with the pubbers, each prosecuted to take useable glamshots not those sometimes peskily problematic step from limo tableaux, certainly no reason of course for Jerzy to be taking pics on the inside red carpet because one could not procure a honeyshot! on the inside of the hotel, at least not unless a fear-stricken flak was given the unenviable task of persuading this or that ½-¼ let to have a seat in the Fisker Karma that sat over there on a revolving lazy susan just beyond the ballroom doors on its own red carpet’d muff. (To be auctioned off later in the eve.) There was no way any of the old pros — translation: lets over 30—would jump in the Fisker anyway because it would look like they were endorsing, most had never even heard of a Fisker, they’d have to be told that fucking Leonardo had one before it would get their attention, because hey I don’t do shit like that for free. Jerzy already considered being on hand for such a contingency but wound up musing if Emma or Hailee or whomever did climb in, a Fisker “get” would be one tough panties get.
Perspirating stinkbreathed ulcer-prone scaredy-cat pub flaks delicately moved the celebs, demi-celebs & ¼celebs thru the open doors of the ballroom for cocktails and mingling… those same old-timey thirtyish lets that avoided the Fisk Karm knew better to mingle for free & besides, OCD handlers were in place to rush them to their designated tables for some well-earned alonetime. Meanwhile, bids were being placed for the silent auction (a banjo signed by Steve Martin & all the banjo greats; you could win a round of golf with Jack Black or Alec Baldwin ((both couldn’t make it tonight)); you could blind-bid on a box that said The Kardashian Experience, &tc.) then everyone was hustled to eat 1st so there would be no clinking & table-clearing once the show began.
. .
Sitting at the other $100,000 table (the one Brando didn’t buy) were Michael and Catherine; Steve Martin (who’d flown in from NY where just hours after being voted president of PEN American Center); Joyce Carol Oates & husband No. 2 (who, in solidarity w/husband No. 1 has refused to read any of JCO’s work “because if I open that door I’ll have to walk thru it”); Tom & Rita Hanks; Sandra Bullock (sans black baby arm candy) with what the mags call Unidentified Friend; Nobel Prizewinner & former PEN American Center President Toni Morrison; Sol and Tiffany Koster. Tiff was President of the organization that puts on the Courage Ball, the very same who had the effrontery to perform a partial mastectomy on Telma’s appearance in tonight’s show.
