The Show

For a very dark day in history we managed to have some fun and I credit our guest. I heard about the events that were taking place and unfolding in London on my drive into the station this morning from Monrovia and was instantly depressed. Liz Warner did the best she could following the story all morning with the limited information that was coming out of England thus far. Discussed the current Dove Soap ad campaign that has been blanketing Los Angeles in the past few days with my guest, knowing where she stood on that issue in advance (I guessed) and we all had a pretty big laugh. Gave away X and Plimsoul tickets and my copy of our guest's book, which she was kind enough to autograph.

The Guests

Writer Liz Tuccillo, who's been on the show before. She's the author (co-author) of the highly successful book, "He's Just Not That Into You", and was one of the writers on the television program "Sex and the City". We are all crazy about her here and consider her part of the MMS family.

18 This is a song from the album that the band's leader, David Alex Barton, sent me this week (I've owned it in the past several times). It's not one of their classic tracs but it reminds me of touring and flying and I really like it. I'll be playing more from this one.
