... Down to meet Bruno Bischofberger (cab $7.50).
He brought Jean-Michel Basquiat with him. He"s the kid who used the name "Samo" when he used to sit on the sidewalk in Greenwich Village and paint T-shirts, and I"d give him $10 here and there and send him up to Serendipity to try to sell the T-shirts there.
He was just one of those kids who drove me crazy...
