if you guys are friends with me on facebook or follow me on twitter then you know I love to share how my life is always crazy w/ random things always happening beyond my control! Well, earlier this week, during a meeting about my blog in my private office, a super nerd barged in & started causing chaos, so fast that I couldn’t tweet or facebook it, but somehow I caught it on video (see above)! i was so scared and thrown off at first (& worried she was a stripper) that i immediately started sweating as I normally do during my frequent panic attacks- turns out she wasn’t a stripper at all, but comedian angela riccio from rent a nerd and was a birthday gift for our new interactive marketing coordinator tim toomey!
you guys know how much i love chicago arts, theatre & appreciate those in it- & let me tell you that performance definitely took guts! so shout out to angel riccio who combines years of experience as a stand up comedienne to make us all laugh! rent a nerd is based in chicago & provides custom comedy entertainment for private & corporate events. it has grown from a one nerd operation in 1987 to present day with a “gaggle of geeks” booking about 800 performances a year! check out the video above to see some of the silliness!
I’m sure you can tell from all my stories and pics on twitter that macy gray is not only my good buddy, but one of my favorite female singers of all time! if don’t know her, she’s a super sweetheart, a 2 time Grammy winner, a great mom, has sold more than 15 million records, and is just an absolute talent- and riot! (pic of us at grammy’s this year)
I especially got to give her huge props for her newest CD, “The Sellout.” after not being happy with the outcome of her previous project, “Big,” she holed up in a recording studio with just a few select friends and musicians, and killed it w/this new creation, as you probably saw in the past couple weeks on Jimmy Fallon, Good Morning America and The View… so spread the word and pick up her songs on itunes or Amazon today!
Oh, and if want to see her in person in chicago, she is performing at the annual Macy’s Glamorama 2010 on August 13th to benefit the Ronald McDonald Charity which I love! This event is truly one of the best of the year– a mix of fashion, music and charity always makes for a great combo. Read more for full Glamorama info….
If you follow me on twitter, you know my life is crazy, and that last weekend was no exception. Photos showed me splitting a bottle of patron tequila w/ buddy John Mayer at underground, vacuum packing Jeremy Piven’s cell phone in rice after he dropped it in the toilet at sunda, jumping on a dozen tv & radio stations live talking about raising money for art & theatre programs for kids, taste testing more food than most eat in a week, trying to fit more crazy tasks & adventures in a day/night than humanly possible to do whatever I can for my team & city!
It occurred to me though that some of you aren’t following me on twitter and are missing out on it all! That’s not good! So I included a sample of my tweetpics / life in the last couple days here so you can get a feel for what you are missing! It’s always random, always crazy, always entertaining.. and most important.. a great way to stay in touch and create a relationship as I have with so many others! Enjoy- and then click here to follow me on twitter too!
jeremy piven dropped his phone in the toliet & i took it & vacum packed in rice at sunda right before we hit rockit & the underground- he tweeted to 1.1 million people- hilarious!
interesting that this all started w/ annual checkup (i know TMI) & fell before my big press push to raise money to support kids, art & theatre. all is good even though my back is out!
on kiss w/ ty for big give away & supporting the arts & theatre! not only was the winner awesome, but she also had the most amount of people tweeting at us- another reason to follow me on twitter!
as soon as we got to sunda- jeremy drops his phone in toliet! funny bc he was saying how he just how he shot an episode of entourage last week where he did the same thing!
this pic represents all the craziness that happened at the underground on twitter- for those pics gotta follow me on twitter- gotta save something for my followers!
next morning working on blog- got asked to be on pride float but tv manager would kill me if missed flight to NY- coming home tomorrow to do it all over again!
