We had a marathon remote at The Londoner in Addison this Sat. Underground Shopper was from 12-3, The North Texas Gourmet with Bruno Dinola and me from 3p-5p and The Beer Show from 5p-6p. Then I drove over to USA Radio and did Cyber-Line from 9p-12a. Been up for 17 hours. Man I beat. The Austin Healey Motor Club came out with about 6 vintage cars! The Londoner has a lot of meaning to me. Andy Tarczon and I ate there almost every day back when he was with Psion and I was at Comp USA. We "immersed" ourselves in the culture as we prepared for a trip. Psion was giving away an all expense paid trip to London to the salesman who sold the most PDA's. I was number one in the nation! When I left Comp USA in the later part of 1997, Lucia and I celebrated my last day playing pool all night. The Londoner was in its old place then. It later would move to its new bigger expanse across the street. Over the course of time, I'd bring friends to share a meal. I was known to always be brainstorming over Chinese buffets. But the Londoner was the place I was more able to relax and unwind over fish and chips, scotch eggs and a Guiness. And now, I'm pretending to be producing shows and doing live remotes from the Londoner! I've always had good things happen when I was involved with this great place. If still around when I die, I'd like to have my wake there as well and have let my wife Diane know!
