Later, at Bar Valentina, Chloe tells me the seizure was likely a result of his biohacking experiments. “He buys untested research chemicals on the internet and injects them,” she explains. I’m struggling to wrap my head around this, simultaneously struggling to wrap my lips around my towering cocktail straw. This is becoming a pattern: I manage to unwittingly order some of the most obnoxious-looking drinks available. It’s never a demure, thin-stemmed glass. It’s never something you can grip with a cunty little pinkie in the air. No, tonight my mezcal spritz has arrived in what appears to be a tulip sundae dish, adorned with mint leaves that fan out like peacock feathers. You’d think I’d be able to intuit these things better as a former barback-bartender, but I’m often shocked by the spectacles I’ve chosen for myself.
