whatevs: I don’t agree with my peers that Rex Sorgatz’s profile in the New York Times — in the STYLES section — is akin to the death of Journalism. That said, I do have to call bullshit on something that was written in this article. Specifically, this: IT was a rainy Tuesday night and Rex Sorgatz, a rail-thin man with spiky red hair and Sol Moscot glasses, walked into a birthday party held at Tom & Jerry’s, a bar in NoHo that has become a go-to place for New York’s Twitter class. A circle of friends who occupy the digital elite closed in, all shouting “Rex!” I have been to many, many social functions where Rex Sorgatz was also an attendee. I have ALSO been to Tom & Jerry’s on a number of occasions where Rex was also there. However, in neither of those situations have I ever once HEARD OR SEEN a group of “digital elites” descend on Rex, en masse, shouting “Rex!” What can we draw from this? Either: 1) It never happened OR 2) Rex set it up in advance Does anyone know the real deal? No offense, Rexy, just doing some homework! I haven’t a clue, but I do know Rex’s “Why The Hills is the Greatest Show in the History of Television” presentation at Ignite was an amazing (and today being Day 1 of no more Hills, timely) rollercoaster ride to see Live….
