At this hour (7:30PM) Adam is talking with Madge. He's recording it. Should be amazing. Madge is a real podcast star. What Howard Stern hopes to be, next year, when he's free of the FCC. Even so, I doubt if he can match Madge for candor, wit, and sheer yeast. 

We were walking to lunch today and I saw a really big guy sitting down at an outdoor restaurant with a group of black men. I saw his face, and his build, and thought he was once an athlete. He was one huge mofo. As we passed Adam asked if I recognized the guy. He said it was Shaquille O'Neal. I turned around and look, and that's right it was. Then on the way back from lunch we passed three young women, one dressed totally sexy, long legs, beautifully made up. We talked about how sexy she was. Then we heard the woman yelling from behind us. Adam said she must be Dutch. What was she screaming? His name.

I've been looking high and low for my can of Starbucks double shot espresso, but then I notice I left it in Adam's room, where the Fox photo shoot is taking place. So I can stop looking. I miss the extra edge to my caffeine buzz. Arrrgh. 

7/4/00: "With that will come new music, and new ways to play it, new ways to explore the emotions it brings up, and new kinds of community, deep ones, far deeper than those we've been able to create on the silent Web."

Madge Weinstein's latest is very funny, up to where she compares me to Nicole Kiddman, when it becomes knee-slapping funny. A classic cast.
