tv (and radio)'s LEO LAPORTE
Ok... Thursday I'm heading to Athens for an Info Tech conference. Leo Laporte is the lunchtime speaker, and I have to admit this is way cool. Not that I'll ask for an autograph, or try to get my picture taken, because that isn't quite like actually MEETING the guy and talking over a beer or something.
And yeah, one of my old co-execs from the radio station is going to be presenting two of the seminars, but unfortunately they're two which hold the least interest to me. I'll still try to catch her to say hello. And, I am going to swing by the old station just to say hello there, too, and pick up the tshirts I bought.
I mentioned it to the gang at the old station... he IS a celebrity, and well known in the geek world (which listens to internet radio). Maybe get him to say a few words and get his picture with the mascot? Who knows. With my luck, they won't even be around to take my money and give me my shirts.
Update: Still nothing. (9am Wed.)
