My Stars!

We’re sharing our booth at this conference with Dennis Haskins, aka Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell, with whom I am on hugging – nay, bear hugging - terms. LNP celebrity encounters have spiked recently thanks to our help writing for Boston’s two highest profile fundraising events. Here are some things I’ve learned about those I’ve met.

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick now recognizes the extravagance of his travel budget, and Andrew.

Boston Mayor Tom “Mumbles” Menino is like a big, democratic teddy bear. Not so much because he’s cute, which he is, but because he can’t really speak.

Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton makes a bizarre Borat.

In person, the Car Guys sound, and laugh, just like they do on NPR. The former is interesting, the latter slightly awkward.

Robert Goulet’s wife finds us “intriguing,” and he himself is not only charming but also drunk.
