One of the most interesting things about being on TV for a few minutes during a morning news program is that a blogger gal named Carrie (who I haven't met)  saw me and recognized me. She wrote:
Seriously, my own mother almost missed my momentary morning-television appearance, but bloggers nationwide were recognizing me. If you're curious, you can go and watch the video of this segment. posted by Jess Barron @ 5:33 PM

SFist interviewed me today about our She Said, She Said radio show, and here's the piece they published about us. That's all well and good, but I'm still trying to get over the sting of Eve (from SFist) trying to steal my boyfriend last week.

| May 20, 2005 | "You're hired!" as an "Apprentice" Stalker... |
|
So, we were in New York and my Yahoo! peeps invited me to attend "The Apprentice" finale and the after-party at Planet Hollywood. (Yahoo! hosts and programs the official "Apprentice" web destination where you can go to find all of the extra behind-the-scenes video clips from the show). I had so much fun running around Planet Hollywood with Chris and meeting/stalking Apprentices. I met Kendra and Tana and Raj and Bill and  George and Carolyn. See all of our photos. It was surprising how easily Chris convinced me to kiss Bren. Omarosa sure can dance... but this photo of Danny may be the funniest. I even met Sugar Ray Leonard. You can tell that we're all BFF. Of course, the best part of the evening is that I got to have dinner with Jeff, Lee, Brett, and Lance beforehand at 5 Ninth in the Meatpacking District. Sure, I enjoy the presence of people from TV, but I enjoy the presence of my friends way more.Labels: apprentice, jeff, lee, nyc, photos posted by Jess Barron @ 5:34 PM

I'm in New York City for the week to meet with ABC News for work. Bocce and August and I flew in on Saturday and stayed at Mindy and Erik's place on the way Upper West Side near Columbia. (I think it's called Morning Side Heights?) We saw a teeny tiny baby squirrel in the park. We went to Erik's architecture school year-end party and then went to the East Village to meet Lee, Brett, Will, Daniel, and Jeff. On Sunday we packed up Mindy's car, so that she could leave for Carnegie-Mellon, and then we went to Lee's place in the Lower East Side (which is confusingly layed-out and furnished exactly like his old apartment in SOMA), and we drank a jug of red wine. Then we travelled to Park Slope, Brooklyn to Jeff and Daniel and Lance's compound where we sat at the silver table in their backyard garden and grilled steaks and drank Rasberry Lambic and more wine. Bocce humped Odie (Lance and Mark's dog) who is male and part Collie and much larger and was completely indifferent to her advances. This morning, August and Bocce and I took the F train to Coney Island where we saw Astroland and The Wonder Wheel and the Cyclone, and a clam bar. Bocce didn't want to go on any of the rides. August ate two hot dogs from Nathan's with sourkraut and onions, and I had cheese fries with ketchup. Now we're about to head to the Paramount Hotel on 46th Street, which I stayed at in 2001 when I was travelling for Microsoft to meet with Viacom to discuss interactive music television projects we were working on for UltimateTV. They have a pretty interestingly-designed lobby, and they allow small dogs. On Wednesday I'm going with my work peeps -- Dave, Jen, Heather, and Arleen to the Good Morning America show, but we don't know what the topic is yet.
