\nI suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere sit in front of you at the Wang show:<\/p>\n

\n\u2014\u201cSo sorry, but the front row is reserved for bloggers. Writers are in the second.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI am most certainly a blogger.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u2014\u201cWhat\u2019s your blog?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt\u2019s called Tumblr. Keeps my readers in high spirits.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u2014\u201cAnd who makes your suit and shoes?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cHappens to be a rather confidential sort of thing. You can just put \u2018vintage\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
