Caron Butler Un-E-vited Me to His Birthday Party

Posted by Dave McKenna on Mar. 12, 2008, at 2:35 pm

I think I've been invited to Caron Butler's birthday party. At least, I got an email saying so.

The party's scheduled for Thursday at some nightspot called The Park at Fourteenth. I don't think it's going to be an intimate affair. The advertised host is Kim Kardashian. She's known for being the daughter of an OJ attorney and for following fellow L.A. heir-head Paris Hilton into the home sex-tape biz.

Perhaps she's a holdover from Caron's days with the Lakers, before we got him and they got Kwame Brown.

I've never talked to Caron or even been within 20 rows of him. And, alas, I don't think I'll be meeting him at the club. At the bottom of the invitation, just below the RSVP details, there's a disclaimer: "DRESS CODE RESTRICTIONS ARE AT MANAGEMENT'S DISCRETION AND PERTAIN NOT MERELY TO ARTICLES OF CLOTHING, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY TO STYLE AND EXECUTION."

I think what this means is even though I'm on the list, they would reject me on at least three grounds if I dared show up. But it's nice to be invited, if that's what happened.

I would like some cake.

   I am happy that you wanted to use my photo, but I thought Washington City Paper was at least semi-professional and understood how Creative Commons is supposed to work. The original photo is here.. You don't copy the photo, post it on your own photostream then link to it. You attribute and link back to the original. Read the flickr terms of use. Thanks.

   We strive to be diligent in correctly using and attributing Creative Commons photos, but the photo in the above post was mistakenly copied into our own Flickr account without attribution. The responsibility for this error lies with me and I apologize. We've corrected the post to provide the proper attribution links, and deleted the offending photo from our Flickr account. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.
