I’ve had the most spectacular few months reconnecting with my sister. Our entire lives our relationship has been strained at best and horrifying at worst.
But for a few reasons I won’t disclose on this blog, we rediscovered each other a few months ago and she is now one of my all-time favorite people on the planet. What happened yesterday evolved out of thin air and was a miracle and a joyful surprise. My sister stopped by around 2pm to inform me that she wanted to do stand-up comedy again and would I write all her material for her. I said…uh..yeah…NO! But I reminded her how fun I thought it would be to do a radio show.
Of course neither of us could remember the brilliant concept I’d come up with a few weeks ago but with at least five minutes thought we came up with another one…the Self-Helpless Sisters. This is of course based on the many years we have spent indulging in self-help and both still being colossal screw-ups.
By the time the door hit her on the ass on the way out I’d regstered us for BlogTalkRadio, scheduled our first online radio show, designed our stupid logo, set up our twitter and blog and was hounding her for topics. And in true “fools rush in” fashion I scheduled our first show for the very same night. For once in my life, I will never regret that I did that. We had the most amazing time and I think we even had a few listeners.
Once again the web evens the playing field. Allowing me to blog and pretend I’m a big-time columnist, get coverage for my clients and pretend I’m a big-time publicist, and now have a radio show and pretend I’m Howard Stern. My love affair with all things online is growing.
Have a listen. Maiden Voyage show by The Self-Helpless Sisters on #BlogTalkRadio – http://t.co/u8t2hEv
