“Irene’s serene demeanor” made me smile. I also was wondering, based on other output from this guest writer, if this was foreshadowing a misdemeanor......
For real, though, it’s hard to make a “this crazy thing happened to me” story fun - this was really fun! Great storytelling.
This was excellent Yassine, you're a fine writer. Hope to read more from you.
I must confess that I was a little more than halfway through the story before I realized it wasn't Jesse Singal writing about his punk warehouse days and slammin' parties and fighting a dude. "Damn, Jesse, I had no idea!". Oh well, I'll pay more attention to the byline next time.
Interesting that the writer seems to find the few non-assholes in this story (Irene, men at the end) the exotic subjects. Or understandable, I suppose.

This is more an anecdote than a story, but it was interesting enough that I read the whole thing.
Thank you Scuba Cat, I hope I can better deliver next time
No, it was a well written story. Maybe not quite the journalistic genre, but really good.
No. I thought it was good!
"I couldn’t help but be drawn in to her director’s vision" is so good.

Pro tip for next time: If it's someone upset about being defamed, it's Jesse. If it's about some cool shit, it's Yassine.
You're a cheeky bollocks 😅
Ha! Brilliant...~
XD
What about Irene?
👀
Yeah, I was waiting for it to end with a “and today we celebrate our twentieth anniversary!”
'culminating in an armed police raid on my house. But all that will have to wait for another day"
hmm.....
I’m guessing that’s Yassine’s Lawyer Origin Story.
I wanted Irene either to be Yassine’s wife today, or someone who turned out to have actually died sometime before the party.
At the end they look up and see a poster stapled a power pole: “$10,000 Reward for Information on the Murder of Irene that happened one month ago.”
Yassine suddenly coughs up ashes.
Somewhere in a parallel universe Yassine is cancelled by Irene following a severe #MeToo tweet storm in 2017
I have reams of good sensible words of wisdom to offer but I will distill it down to three- Don’t get drunk
Follow-up story about Irene needed...

Dissonance is exotic
