Why People Behave Badly
My brilliant friend Barb Oakley, author of Evil Genes: Why Rome Fell, Hitler Rose, Enron Failed, and My Sister Stole My Mother's Boyfriend
Sadly, because we're shooting the promo to sell my TV show on Friday, I lose a work day, so I have to write on Sunday. But, if you're not dead or in a coma, if I were you, I'd get my ass to Cal Tech, and early, to make sure you get a ticket to her lecture. Details below:

Oh, and I always laugh at people who wake up at 3 a.m. for rock concert tickets. I won't laugh at you in the slightest if you're there with a lawn chair in the wee hours waiting for tickets to this one.
More of her California tour dates here. More about Barb here.
"...my TV show..."
Huh?

WebTV, my own show, with a great, great company, and wonderful producers, both of whom come out of broadcast TV and documentaries.
The promo is to sell advertising and get people to pick up the show. Can't say more now, but I've had lots of deals with Hollyweasels, and I can't say enough great stuff about the team behind this show. The guy who runs the business is very visionary, and the kind of CEO where, if there's an issue, I just pick up the phone and we both come to some smart decision together.

Was wondering the same thing. Perhaps she meant a TV promo for her book?
