Fact or Fiction?
Poker content coming real soon. In the meantime, some things that may or may not have happened at the "Walker Payne" premiere and afterparty last night (up to you to decide what's true):
* At the Q&A immediately following the screening, Jason Patric told an audience member that she should look into therapy.
* I offered a friend a prop bet of $50 at the afterparty to tell Jason Patric he's a dick in the loudest, most obnoxious way possible. My friend accepted and succeeded before being escorted from the premises by a large black man named Barry.
* I accepted a prop bet to chug a vodka tonic for $10. I failed.
* I flirted with Amy Adams without realizing that she is an Oscar-nominated actor. [Ed. note: anyone who remembers my Phil Gordon story from Vegas last December can immediately assume that this story is true. Dawn Summers, you can stop shaking your head in disappointment now. What? How was I supposed to know?]
* Amy Adams introduced me to KaDee Strickland, who totally deflated my ego by mentioning how much I remind her of her 22yo brother.
* I offered a friend a prop bet of $50 to tell KaDee Strickland she's a dick in the loudest, most obnoxious way possible. He refused the bet, stating that his wife wouldn't be very happy if he got them thrown out of the afterparty.
* I walked right up to a Pulitzer prize-winning playwright, his Oscar-winning wife, and Bruce Dern, who were all seated around a small coffee table, and plucked a crabcake off of an appetizer tray, as they turned to look, without even acknowledging them. [Ed. note: I *did* recognize them, thanks.]
