They Shoot Porn Stars, Don't They? Annotated

I was thinking about annotating "They Shoot Porn Stars, Don't They?" I really loved Elon Green's annotation conversation with Gay Talese on "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold."
Where were you, relative to Sinatra? I was about where I’m sitting now and the bar was where the door is. Maybe 40 feet. There were tables on all sides of us and the dance floor was over towards the left. I had a direct vision of the bar. The lights were low, but there was almost a spotlight on the bar. Whereas we in the back at our tables were looking through a semi-darkness at people. So you could see his face? Yeah, I could.
