I met Randi Rhodes last night!
Edited on Wed Aug-11-04 11:17 AM by Cassandra
Really nice lady. I gave her my brother's CD that's been banned from Clear Channel stations because of it's anti-corporate lyrics and I told her I think her show is great (which it is). She thanked me, took the CD and gave me a kiss (on the cheek).
In case you're wondering, I was at Rocky Sullivan's last night. Janeane Garofalo was also there and did a funny set (she's currently a brunette), the rest of Barry's regulars were there, the place was packed and everyone had a great time.

edit: why can't I spell when I decide not to use the spell check?

8. Go early
The first time I went I got there at 7 and got a seat pretty easily. This time, I got there at 6:40 and I barely found a seat (for an 8pm show).
Barry said they're providing color commentary with a big screen during the convention, so I'll probably go at least once for that.

3. Green.... green.... green.... with envy..... with envy.... LOVE RANDI!
She is irreverent, a little vulgar, outspoken, unafraid of controversy, obnoxious, a little vain, with her heart in the right place, totally different from the women I talk to on a daily basis.... GREAT FOR RADIO! GREAT FOR DEMOCRACY! JUST BITCHY ENOUGH!!!

I love the fact she is on our side. THANKS RANDI!!!

5. She's such a sweetie.
I keep meaning to go to Sullivan's, but as always with my life something never fails to come up.

I've got until election Day to get there. It'd be nice to say hi to RR face-to-face.

I'll bet Sullivan's was mobbed with Garafalo on the bill, eh?

9. Major crowd!
Rocky Sullivan's is about the size of a shoebox. When Randi and Janeane got there, they could barely squeeze to the back. They both got a tremendous cheer. AAR's backer was also there and got a cheer.

7. I am so jealous
I'm so hating your great luck. If I could afford it, I would fly to NY every Tuesday to be at RS.

I hope we get to hear the songs. Randi does play stuff, and puts stuff on her web site on occassion.

10. I told her to give it a listen...
and said that if she can't find a use for it, she's welcome to pass it to the other hosts. Tim was there and said I'm supposed to give that stuff to him. I told him he's welcome to get it from her and work with it. He's really sweet, too.

21. wow...
Until three months ago, I lived three blocks from Rocky Sullivans and was a once weekly regular there. (Trivia night on Thursday!) But, now I am in Brooklyn, and I had no idea that they would be there! It's one of my favorite bars in NYC! Cool deal!

19. It would have been good to see you...
if I could have found you in that crowd. I'm trying to get a group together for one or two performances of the revue on the Wednesday nights. Is there still space?

20. right now, yes, plenty of space...
but people don't tend to make reservations this early...

we're about to do a big push to get houses for next week. (I have reviewers coming!)
