Hollywood Day 2 PLUS SEAT POST
March 10, 2010
OK, a quick report--
I wore grey MUSA pants, a Pendleton tartan long-sleeved shirt, a Derby tweed vest over that, and some low-top musa leather clodhoppers---the kinds of shoes a 12-year old kid digging holes for dad would wear in 1966. I had a daypack, and I was one of a diverse group of charity spokespeople.
Everybody was really nice, it was a great experience that way. Awkward for me to be filmed, get my hair and makeup done and all that, but the people were great, everybody friendly, no weird stories to tell.
After my big line;
"Grant Petersen....putting smiles where they belong"
After that, in another shooting segment, I and everybody else said a few other things (unscripted by them) about the particular charity they represented. Just for the record, because the acting thing may suggest something else---- I am a bigger Smile Train fan than I can even say. I think the surgeries, at $250, are the biggest bargain on earth, and I am so happy and proud that we've/you've raised so much money for Smile Train in such a short time.
I don't know where or when the Paul Mitchell stuff will air, but in the next few months we're going to make our own Smile Train video, and see how it goes. It'll be fun. We can be looser and sloppier and say more.
Meanwhile, link to the page and you'll see that for every dollar you donate, we'll give you $0.75 in credit, up to $300. And if you plan to buy a bike, there's even more stuff in it for you.
If you don't know exactly what Smile Train does, watch this:

I think too many people don't donate because they think it's like pissing off El Capitan. Not in this case. A whole surgery, a face-fixing, life-changing, lifetime-lasting face repair costs just $250, and so every dollar (well...every five dollars) is significant.
It's the biggest bang for the buck of any purchase you're likely to make today, and it takes less than a minute, and we'll credit you seventy-five percent of your donation, up to $300. Don't be put-off by t hat $300. If you can spare $5, that's great.

Seat post. We're getting a new one, a cheap-style but not cheap--the old-fashioned kind still favored by Certain Snobs, but this is the best one ever by far (I'd say). Typo "hear" instead of "here" there.
To see it, here.
