Me and Joel Stein
I met Joel Stein from “Time” Magazine today for a group interview/round table discussion about our opinions on the job Congress is currently doing.
I’m a big fan of Joel’s writing and believe me, I am just as surprised as you are that I know a little bit about politics. Who? What? Where?
Joel was super cool and much taller than expected. I mean, he was tall, like six feet or something. Not snarky at all! Loved him.
The group (5 people total) was quite bright, we talked for 2.5 hours.
Full story to come tomorrow with gory details.
XOXO-

P.S. Joel, if you don’t like this picture, I have another one to put up tomorrow. The third one was blurry. You have photo approval and I can take it down, email or tweet me.
that is awesome! I wish I could have been a fly on that wall.

It was really fun, I have to become a political wag now. But I’m not even sure what that means. I’m gonna Google it.
I’m totally jealous. How did you get involved in such a group? I can’t even get the local Democratic Party chair to call me back.
I commented on a blog post Joel had written on Babble.com and then I saw on a Babble Facebook link that 20 plus people had commented (on FB) that the post was somehow inappropriate. I couldn’t have disagreed more, so I comment replied back to them and then wrote my own blog on it. Then I tweeted at Joel re: my blog post and followed him on Twitter. He followed me back (probably being polite) and I heard about the call for the group on Twitter last week. Social media is crazy! (But good.)
Wow!
Thanks for the insight.
Heidi, all that sounds suspiciously stalkerish.

Kinda, huh? Hee.
So, do you have your hand on Mr. Stein’s butt? Cuz, that’s totally what his expression conveys.
Just sayin’.

Ha ha! No, on his crotch.
I’m kidding. It was too legit to quit.
Our meeting, not his crotch. You get it.
Don’t short change us on the gory details. Regular, thinking people commenting on politics? This is like a sighting of a ivory-billed woodpecker. Bring it.
