I heart Blaine

I am LOVING the internets right now. I just spent about 30-45 minutes watching my friend Blaine on BlogTV. An artist friend of his in Britain is doing a 24-hour BlogTV benefit to raise money to buy his young son a prosthetic hand. Trying to help him out, Blaine was on spilling celebrity stories from his many years of working at Spago (which is how I met him - I worked there from 1997 to 2002; Blaine still works there). Blaine also happens to be one of the funniest people I've ever met, better than most successful standup comedians I've seen. He even does impressions. Anyway, I haven't seen him in about two and a half years and all of a sudden there he was - talking to me, doing the celebrity impressions that I was calling off, telling the funny stories that I reminded him of from years ago, etc. We even got someone to give a $50 donation just to hear Blaine's Julio Iglesias impression. How fun and in-the-spirit-of-giving is that?


In the event you'd like to contribute, you can make a direct donation or check out the eBay auction of artwork here.

I raise my glass (of cheap-ass red wine) to all of my good friends. I love you peeps! And I'm fortunate to have so many.
