Teleprompter Read

So we all have our "first" whatever at some point in our lives. For me, although I've been a guest on several television shows believe it or not I've never read from a teleprompter. I got a call today to come in ASAP to do a teleprompter read for KOCT. Yippee!!

The station won the 2008 Hometown Video Festival Award for Overall Excellence. Our production manager Jacob Rush is heading to Washington DC for the national conference of the Alliance for Community Media to receive the award. He'll also show a short PSA on how our station remains successful.

Hang up and Drive - Infiniti QX56

Cool thing, we video recorded my review this time. I really dig it. Big ups to Luis Cooper from coopermediagroup.net. He really hooked us up on the shooting and editing of this video. Thanks Luis!!

Oh and the background music is composed by none other than my rock star hubby Chris Swann. Rock on!!!

ETIQUETTE EXPERT OPINION: How to recover from an embarrassing moment - Yeah, so when the wind catches your skirt and blows it on almost totally over your head in front of a film crew (panties and all) - just gracefully flip it down, say "Oh Dear, all right now so where were we? Shall I start from the top or where we left off?" (So glad no one has a picture of that).

Obama Gives Obama Some Dap

This past Tuesday Barack Obama claimed victory as the Democratic presidential nominee. And in doing so he gave his wife something that's not unfamiliar to many brothers & sisters - he gave his wife Michelle some Dap (translate - fist pump, fist bump).

So then all the analysts and commentators went berserk trying to figure out what it meant, whether or not it was some sort of subliminal message or a so-called "terrorist symbol". Well it was none of those. It was just a little something we see in "our" community when two individuals want to congratulate one another on a job well done. Nothing less nothing more, nothing to read into. Just a little rock on brotha!!
Etiquette Expert Opinion: It's perfectly fine show show a moderate amount of PDA with your honey.

Cats take over San Deigo

Tonight I went to opening night of CATS here in San Diego. It's playing at the San Diego Civic Theater. Awesome show! spectacular music , dancing, strobe lights, cats, cats, and more cats.

Gotta say Tricia Tanguy who played GRIZABELLA ripped it when she sang MEMORY written by Trevor Young!! Loved it, the girl hit every note on point. That's not an easy song to sing but she was absolutely fab.

This was my first time seeing it but I did overhear two ladies talking and one said she'd seen it 19 years ago. Her comment - "There wasn't as much pelvic action back when I saw it 19 years ago". - Welcome to the millennium honey...

Looking for a puuuuuurfect nigh on the town June 3- 8, 2008? Go see CATS!!

ETIQUETTE EXPERT OPINION: Theater Etiquette - When going to and from your seat in a crowded theater simply say "Excuse Me" and wait for the others to let you pass. Ladies - hold onto your purses please. You don't want to injure anyone.
