Friday, December 31, 1982—Aspen
Drove over to Jimmy Buffett’s. As soon as we got in Couri Hay had taken one of our tables and filled it up with boys—Tab Hunter and a mincy boyfriend. But then Jamie Buffett gave us another table and then the party started getting good. Barry Diller arrived with Diana Ross, and Jack Nicholson with Anjelica Huston—Jack’s got a big fat belly now. It was all country-​western. Five minutes before New Year’s we decided, Jon and I, that we didn’t want to be in a crowd and so we went right outside, not to hear them singing “Auld Lang Syne.” Then we watched the fireworks outside and went in ten minutes after. So it was great, nobody even knew we were gone, and they had finished all their kissing and stuff.
