Thomas Ammann came to town and asked about the art business. I asked him if he wanted to go to the opening of the musical Nine with me that evening and he said yes. It was the night of Bob's birthday party at the new Club A that Elizinha Goncalves was giving for him.
I picked up Jon and we went to 333 East 60th Street to Club A (cab $7). It was really a great party, so glamorous, you'd never think it was for Bob, all these great people were there. I was next to Betsy Bloomingdale and I talked to her, she said Alfred was still sick. "Suzy" was there. and Lynn Wyatt flew in for the party, and Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal They had these old men serving who looked like they were from those restaurants on the Lower East Side from years ago, the good kind of waiters. It must have taken a lot of work, this party, and a lot of planning. And the food was really great. They had caviar stuffed into smoked salmon so you had two courses in the same breath.
