OK .. first let me say that Kathy Griffin, live in person, is not just good, not just great, but wowza incredible!! I saw her Friday night [8/17] at the Fox Theatre. She talks, walks, acts, etc just like she does on the reality show and her comedy specials. And although some her subjects were the same [Paris Hilton, Oprah, Ryan Seacrest], the jokes were all new.

For over 80 minutes, she stood at the microphone, telling story after story. She took on Paula Abdul, Lohan, Oprah, Dr. Phil, and ended with a huge bang .. The Ladies From The View! If haven't already, you need to catch this lady in "concert."

And onto other news .. with a huge amount of help, supoort and some fantastic pictures, I did get on Bear 411. The address is http://www.Bear411.com/spankybear. So here is hoping that many friends, dates and ?? come out of this. THANK YOU REED!

OK .. I had a very different, but still interesting and fun day today. First, went and saw the counselor. We talked about the great and good of the past weekend, and more importantly my little "whatever it was" yesterday. To quote a wise man, "your fine, relax." :)

After the meeting, and since I had taken the day off, I got to meet up in person with the one and only LJ blogger, PRODUCTREED. Besides being a great guy with a huge heart, a smart advisor, and a wicked [and perverted] sense of humor .. Mister Man is not just a photographer, but a photograph artiste!

Throughout the afternoon, Reed took pictures of me sitting, standing, etc. Some just everyday pictures, other .. well you know :) Anyway, the reason for all these pictures is because I'm making another step in my "re-invention" - getting a profile on Bear 411.

Yes, I know that may not sound like that big of a deal, but I have sent a regular old photo and blah blah profile into Bear 411 twice and nothing happened. So guys, wish me luck and if I do get a profile, I'll let you know which one.

Mr. Reed .. THANK YOU so much for your time, the music, the expense and travel! Tell DeWayne hello .. he is very lucky to have you!
