FACTUAL EMERGENCY
We interrupt this blog to provide some actual information. America Scores, the wonderful group that sponsors the Rock Bottom Remainders' annual tour, will be featured on the Today show, tomorrow morning, Wednesday, June 23rd. (And if tomorrow is not Wednesday, June 23rd, I would appreciate immediate notification, or as soon as possible after someone says "First." Thank you.)
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled regular schedule.
FACTUALITY UPDATE: Friends and Supporters,
We were postponed! We just heard that Katie Couric's extensive interview
with Bill Clinton has caused a delay on the airing of the America SCORES
story! We will now likely air on Friday or sometime next week... stay tuned!
FIRST!

FIRST! or SECOND!

Factual Emergency sounds like a great album title; or maybe it's a parody of a reality TV show.

Dave (okay, Judi),
Will the Rock Bottom Remainders actually be on the set of the Today Show or will it be a remote segment? I ask because of the (very small) chance that I and other of the Tri-State-Area-based bloglits might crawl out of bed early enough to stand outside Rockefeller Center and wave stupidly, or be available as roadies should that prove necessary.

Who decided to allow "facts" on the board??
It's a slippery slope to logic & reason...

Kowabunga! Slope's up!
Posted by: pogo | June 22, 2004 at 11:40 AM
lairbo, it's not the remainders who will be on the show. it's america scores. and they won't actually BE there either. it's a taped segment.
lurker: i'm sorry; perhaps i took unwarranted liberties with the blog and will have to be punished.
Posted by: judi | June 22, 2004 at 12:00 PM
Lairbo, after a quick glance I thought you were offering our services as "toadies" rather than "roadies." Actually, either would work for me, but as Judi confirmed it's not the Remainders on the show, darn it.

ohhh. that's verrry different. never mind.

ohhh. that's verrry different. never mind.
and - while we're on this topic - name the tour - since Roger McGuin will be joining you - how about the Byrds-Brains Tour???

Man, I work right up the block from rock center. I would've brought a "WE *HEART* YOU DAVE* sign & everything.

is the post really that confusing?
inquiring minds want to know
Posted by: judi | June 22, 2004 at 12:31 PM
The post was fine, judi. Sometimes we just see what we want to see.
Posted by: Moe | June 22, 2004 at 12:33 PM
Nah, Judi, everyone just wants to read it real fast so they can be the first to shout FIRST, except of course those (who shall remain nameless) who shout FIRST first, and then read the post, if they read it at all. ;)
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 22, 2004 at 12:35 PM
BTW: I am planning to go to the Cleveland show to act as a toadie or whatever - anyone else?
Posted by: mudstuffin | June 22, 2004 at 12:44 PM
I wish they had "America Scores" when I was growing up. All they had was "Head Start". As a result, I got a cigar and a stain on my blue dress :(.
Posted by: Monica Lewinski | June 22, 2004 at 12:55 PM
I'll be at the Cleveland show and the Detroit show.
I'll be the designated drunk.
Posted by: Graz | June 22, 2004 at 12:56 PM
That hollers "Freebird" that is.
Posted by: Graz | June 22, 2004 at 12:57 PM
Yes, Monica but you have now assured your place in history by giving the name "Doing a Lewinski" to an act which was very much in need of a better name.
Posted by: pogo | June 22, 2004 at 01:01 PM
I believe there is an interview with Amy Tan on the segment and there may be some footage of the Remainders playing.
Posted by: The FC | June 22, 2004 at 01:05 PM
Just wishful thinking, Judi... Holding up an "I *HEART* AMERICA SCORES' CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE" just doesn't have the same je ne sais whatever, ya know?
Posted by: Mrs. Bruce | June 22, 2004 at 01:19 PM
Jeff
I DID mean "toadies", "roadies" was a typo. My bad.
Still, I'm glad I don't have to get up early and schlepp down to 50th St. . . . but I'll be watching! Yeah, you bet. Up and watching the show. Uh-huh. You betcha.
Posted by: Lairbo | June 22, 2004 at 01:33 PM
judi, I volunteer to administer the punishment. ;)
Posted by: Mike Weasel | June 22, 2004 at 01:45 PM
guess i'll just have to tape it......
Posted by: queensbee | June 22, 2004 at 02:17 PM
it's been postponed anyway ;) thanks mikey!
Posted by: judi | June 22, 2004 at 02:25 PM
Monica, don't you even know how to spell your own last name? Lewinsky.
eadn: you should have advised him to start drinking heavily.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 22, 2004 at 05:41 PM
Judi, I would have thought the combination of "Bill Clinton" and "America Scores" would have provoked SOME comment by now.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 23, 2004 at 09:21 AM
Before mine, that is.
