…until they told me to dream it! You know how sometimes there are things that you don’t know you don’t know? So therefore you don’t know what you are missing? I can no longer be counted among those of you who have never been to Soho House. Although I feel it both a blessing and a curse, believe me when I say…you want to go!
Last night quite unexpectedly, my friends and I got invited by Rich Eisen (yes the NFL Network Rich Eisen) to go with him to Soho House. Its a very fine private club that I didn’t even know existed. I’m just simply not that cool. You have to be invited by a member or you can’t get in. So we piled in Val’s Rover and 20 minutes later we were being greeted at the back door like Hollywood royalty. Friends of Mr. Eisen’s, yes we have been expecting you. Swoon!
It was awesome. They didn’t care that we were in jeans and t-shirts. They didn’t know I’m just me…I COULD have been anyone. The food was delightful. The room like the largest Joseph Cornell box imaginable. I could have investigated the waist high piles of books, and hallway with black and white photos for days.
You can join the illustrious Soho House for only $1800 a year, or you can join to go to any of the international locations for $2400 a year. That’s not so bad. OH…but someone has to write a referral for you who is already in the club…and you have to fill out an application, thoroughly. But don’t bother…because even if you do these things and your check clears…they aren’t currently accepting new members.
Chances are I will never get invited back in the fold, as I am only a friend of a friend of a friend of Mr. Eisen’s and happened to be in the right place at the right time. But believe me…if the opportunity ever avails itself…your answer should affirmatively, undeniably, be YES!
