Midnight snack

by Michael Diskin, 04-07-2008

THIS WEEK, I'm not going to tell you about what I did or where I went, because it really doesn't matter. The real story lies in what I did when I got home. No, this isn't going to be a sordid tale of post-bar sex or some over-the-top description...
Inventing the Irish

Inventing the Irish

by Michael Diskin, 03-25-2008

WE IN Boston like to think we invented Irish. Irish-mob movies have been filmed here in town. We have a professional sports team whose name and branding are all about the green. And we host what is arguably the country’s best-known St. Patrick’s Day parade...

Suburbia goes out on the town

by Michael Diskin, 09-19-2007

I HAVE TWO sets of friends. I have my city friends, and I have my suburban friends. The two groups rarely mix. I like to take a Costanzian approach to social circles. In other words, I don't mix my Georges. I do this not because one set of friends...
Fabulous life

Fabulous life

by Michael Diskin, 08-28-2007

IF YOU READ this column regularly, you may have the impression that I’m some sort of jackass party boy. Vegas one weekend, a stripper-filled golf tournament the next. But I’m not. I don’t say that in an attempt to get absolution for my 12th-hole lap dance...
The real Vegas

The real Vegas

by Michael Diskin, 08-10-2007

THIS SATURDAY, I'm in Las Vegas. It's the home of legally purchased sex and Celine Dion - both overpriced screwings that will leave you unsatisfied and scared of women with accents. I'm staying at Mandalay Bay with a few friends, partaking...
