So in reading my last post, as well as the basic write up on the web page I have come to the realization that I love starting sentences of with the word "So". I counted something like 5 or 6 times where I started something off with "So". So my apologies for that.
Chet and I were out in Boston yesterday shooting some stuff for the web. We also started to meet people and see if anyone knew Richard Branson or could introduce us to someone who did. No luck yesterday with that, although we met Ben Franklin (Don't call him an impersonator, he gets pissed) and started chatting with him. First he thought we were looking for Charles Bronson, acclaimed actor of the Death Wish movies (Had two other people think the same thing. Apparently RB's "Q" rating here in Boston is about the same as Charles Bronson's. )
When we explained who Richard Branson was, he informed us that he knew Bill Gates. Yes, the Bill Gates of Microsoft. Thank you Ben for making that leap with no reference at all to the previous conversation. Ben said something about meeting him through his son. His real son, not his Ben Franklin son. Seemed he had no problem breaking character when it was convenient for him. Anyways, Ben was a good guy to talk to, but kind of gave us the shove off so he could get back to work. He was handing out 20% off coupons to a souvenir t-shirt store. Hard times for an icon of American history.
We leave tomorrow for London. Getting pretty excited. We have a show tonight at 11:00, Unhinged at Improv Asylum. We are also shooting something at the end of the show for Branson or Bust. Come down if you are around.
