...there were suggestions in some press reports that when Bush got a new driver's license, with the number 00000005, after he became governor in 1995, his intent might have been to hide the trail to his DUI conviction. But Bush spokesman Dan Bartlett insisted that low-digit VIP license numbers are a tradition among Texas elected officials. Reporters asked the campaign whether Bush had admitted to his DUI arrest on any of the questionnaires that most Americans are required to fill out when they apply for jobs or loans or security clearances.

...party of the week went once again to the Creative Coalition, which packed 'em in at the Beverly Hills mansion of onetime penniless actor and now producer (think "Pulp Fiction" and "Good Will Hunting") Lawrence Bender at a fund-raiser for Christopher Reeve's Paralysis Foundation. VIP guests paid a hefty $10,000 to take home party favors packed with Kenneth Cole watches and wallets and to rock with Melissa Etheridge.

...Less importantly to the flock of execs, Lunar Plexus had begun playing the VIP Lounge upstairs. Now although my pass had the letters "VIP" on it, the light in the club apparently caused the bouncer to instead read "under no circumstances should this person be allowed upstairs." So I contented myself with watching the self-proclaimed "super swank tripno pop" band voted 1999's Best Electronica Act by the Boston Phoenix's readers on two big closed-circuit TV screens next to the main stage. Maddeningly, the footage was purposefully grainy black and white, no doubt because it's artsier...
