the present
Monday, March 1st, 2004
J: Paul gave me a present that will make you laugh.
R: Yes?
J: The November 1996 Wired.
R: The Burning Man one!
J: Yes. It’s hilarious. Your StarTac phone is brand new, and it costs $3000.
R: Ah, the future!
J: And there are all these Joey Anuff bylines!
R: Remember how in the future, we were all famous for fifteen minutes?
Pause.
R (wistfully): I miss the future. It rocked.
