CELEBFLASH: Me?

Yes, that's me on Oprah!

Filmed at Spago exactly a month ago, the episode, A Tribute to Sidney Poitier, aired yesterday. Celebrating The Measure of a Man, Mr. Poitier's spiritual autobiography at a "Dinner of a Lifetime" were seven lucky viewers (and a cast and crew behind the scenes of hundreds).

I was lucky enough to be featured in the Spago overview bit towards the beginning of the episode (I'm the one standing behind uber-designer Colin Cowie, looking a tad befuddled if I do say so myself)
Next stop Survivor!

[ Note: Downloading the episode from Tivo to my laptop was a piece of cake. Capturing a screenshot not so easy! Matt in NYC has given me a couple of ideas, namely using VLC Media Player which captures it's own snapshot - still not great images, but better! ]

Is it me or are you beginning to look like you belong on Friday Night Smackdown? BTW -- did you ask Colin Cowie where he gets his highlights done?

If I'm remembering correctly, you have a Mac. Just open Utilities>Grab. Use the Grab app. to "Capture Selection", draw a nice box around your paused video frame and viola!

If you don't have a Mac, you really should.

How fun! The place, decor and food looked spectacular!! Mr. Puck seemed very content, pleased and honored to be a part of his homeboy Sidney's shindig. Somehow, though, when Oprah says "Love is in the details," I have a feeling that that meant a lot of long and hard work for the folks behind the scenes. Long ... and hard? I much prefer another saying: "Lust is in the details!" :-) - Marc L. (Tom I.'s friend from D.C.)
