LW, I hope you’re right. I always think big, it’s the realities that got small!

Well keep your eye out for a filmed version, or a showing on PBS, HBO, or even a tour. As a TB & VH fan, you won’t want to miss it. If I hear about a TV airing, I’ll let you know. Forget the script, you must see Valerie.

Netiquette shmetiquette, the internet is all about self-promotion, and what goes around, comes around, so he should be pleased, especially with the quality of your contributions to his site, to let you promote. How did he get where he is?

You’ve never been to NY? That surprises me. You must go! And there are many ways to get show tickets at very reasonable prices. Anyway, think big, I see budget being much less of a concern in your future.

Thanks! I posted to Facebook that it sounded like a drum solo, what with all the doors shutting and windows opening, etc.

Denton doesn’t like anybody drawing readers off Gawker onto other sites, and it’s bad netiquette to incessantly drop links anyway. I think I’ve done five this week, so I’d better stop for awhile.

Never been to New York, and if I do go it’s doubtful I’ll have the budget for a Broadway show, but if I can, I’ll go. Otherwise I’ll have to scan BizBooks for the script or something.

I grew up with a huge crush on Valerie, in fact all the gals on MTM, so it was either the law of attraction in action or a gift from God that I would not only work with her twice, but get to know her very well on a 6 week job in your fair city. She’s one of the very few whose person does not shatter their persona but ameliorates it. Even I, who adore her, wasn’t prepared to see absolutely no trace of her as she completely transmogrified into Tallulah Bankhead, it was breathtaking, mostly because I couldn’t stop laughing long enough to breathe. She got the Tony nom, and while I have no doubt Viola Davis was amazing, my feeling is Val was robbed. If you ever get the chance, don’t miss it!

I still don’t see how you can attribute Gawker click-throughs to my comment, since the link is on your profile, but if you can, I’ll take it. I could tell it is a work-in-progress, but it’s intriguing nonetheless. I’m glad I had pull if I did. Why would Denton hate you dropping links? I thought the more link-to’s/link-from’s the better? Plus, they give you a place to put your link in your profile? Alas, still learning netiquette.

I read the memo on your move from WordPress to My Life…and it all sounds very positive. I even set up a MyBlogLog account because of it, though I don’t know if that will still be useful for your new venture. But by all means, email me the press release, or I will check back. It all sounds like a giant sliding glass door is opening for you. Congratulations!

Ooh, I like Tallulah more and more!

And I always loved Valerie Harper. I can’t picture her in that role, though, having grown up knowing her as Rhoda. Still, the woman has tremendous talent.

And yes, 35 people clicked through from my profile to http://Lolebrity.net , which is one of my other sites, which must have left them wondering what the hell you were on when you recommended it. Let’s just say it hasn’t taken off the way I had hoped.

Any link dropped on Gawker has tremendous pulling power, which is why I can’t help myself from dropping links all the damn time. I’m sure Denton hates me for it.

And by the way, I’m putting up the schedule for my new online blogging and social media classes tonight and tomorrow at http://raincoastermedia.com/2010/07/07/social-media-course-schedule/ which is yet ANOTHER of my blogs, my business blog. Or if you want, I could just email you the press release.
