“And the following night in Boston, Armand was in the dining room of the Copley when Daniel came in. Daniel’s dinner was already ordered. Please sit down. Did Daniel know that Interview with the Vampire was in the bookstores?”
Was doing some research about what the Copley would have looked like when Armand ordered the entire menu and found this:
Assuming the Copley refers to the Fairmont Copley Plaza (which it must, all of the old articles I can find refer to it as just The Copley), the dining room was dominated by a rotating merry go round bar until 1978. The merry go round would finish a rotation once every hour, and you could eat dinner and sip cocktails while it went around.
There were even postcards of it that you could mail home:
(postcard circa 1930s)
By the time Daniel and Armand visited the decor had been updated, and looked something closer to this:
(this photo is from the 1960′s, surely by the 70′s it was even tackier)
So just imagine the surrealism of Daniel downing glass after glass of wine and having Armand have to help his drunk ass down off this thing, all while he goes through an emotional crisis over finding Armand hot when he laughs.
It’s no wonder they ended up together, Daniel is the only person wild enough to decide to go to dinner alone in the kind of bizarre place Armand would be attracted to.

Snow falls,
Snow lands on top,
And Snow melts.
It drips,
It floods,
The rebels win.
And Lucy Gray has her revenge.
This is the rise and fall of Snow.

One of the most vital points of our depiction of Scarlet is the fact that he is, fundamentally, the exact kind of guy who would give himself scurvy from trying to live off of ramen due to cost-efficiency, and also the exact sort of guy to show up to a 8:00 class in a designer outfit that he bought out of all the money he saved living soley off of $1 packs of ramen.

if i had a nickle for finding a new band with music I really like and finding out it's a separate side project involving the lead singer of Deftones, I'd have 2 nickles.
which isn't a lot of nickles, but seems like an unreasonably large amount of musical work for one guy to be involved in.
