CUE THE STEVE MILLER: Throwing stuff in a suitcase this morning for a quick run (if there is such a thing) to Seattle. Dinner downtown tonight, then running out to Redmond for a meeting tomorrow. Then dinner back in the city Wednesday night, followed by an early AM flight back to Middle America.

My new standard work ensemble includes some stylish black trousers, a sleek black t-shirt, and a mini-V-neck black sweater with subtle black piping running vertically. Yes, ich bin ein Sprocket, or something like that. Black seems to go nicely with black. Plus it makes your average teen luminary seem that much more luminous, or so I hear.

More from the Red Carpet Lounge later today.
