You may have noticed that I like attention. Just having a blog is a bit of a tip-off. I'm a public attention hound, not to the point of being the star of Cops...yet. I happened to be at the Historic Ellicott City Show House on a consultant basis last Friday when the chairwoman received a call saying that they needed more phone answerers for Sunday's Baltimore PBS money begging. Of course I jumped.
Our three hours were as representatives of Historic Ellicott City benevolently giving our time to help our local public t.v. Here I am posing but ready to go for a real call. Shameless as always, I ran into the studio to get the best seat, front center. I then quickly figured out that the camera panned to those who were actively on the phone so every time we were live I picked up my phone and acted as though I was taking a call. We had been "lured in" by being told that we would be on from 4-7 p.m. Well that's when the portion of the programming was on. Durrrrrr, most of the time the PROGRAM IS SHOWING. So we were on in four segments during our last hour so I HAD to make up for lost time. Paul recorded all 3 hours and, with a short rewind, we got to see all my hammage. It did work, I got most of the face time during the segments but still have not had to screen any agent calls.
Here's our group from HEC, fortunately a fun group and very tolerant of those trying to jump-start a late modelling/acting career.
Me with part of the group. Can you say cheese?
