  8. "I Went To Michael Bolton's House In Connecticut For A Cocktail Party," by Rob Harvilla →

    Michael mills around, making small talk. His golden tresses are no more; he is wearing a swank jacket, a crisp white shirt halfway-unbuttoned, and demurely ripped jeans. “He has the relaxed demeanor,” someone notes, “of someone who has been famous for a really long time.” Eventually our host ambles over, and we chat. (Out-of-context thing I said to Michael Bolton, in a fake-announcer voice: “Michael Bolton is… JACK THE RIPPER!”)

    This is great.
