brinke:
it's nice to be important - it's more important to be nice

greetings fiends.

i seen your requests for rants and what angers you from the horror host's perspective, so let me oblige. one of my stories involve certain people who think they are too 'famous' to be bothered by us local, public access, no money involved horror hosts. 

i don't want to mention any names, o.k., you forced me, like brinke stevens. 

let me start of saying that i do understand that i am a 'nobody' and my show sucks indeedly, in fact, whenever i go to conventions or ask people to come on the show, the first thing that comes out of my mouth is, ' hi, i have a little local cable show that sucks, but could you do a quick interview or be a guest'. 

it was the year before at 'fangoria's convention' in pasadena, where we had a table and doing interviews with such real celebrities like: reggie bannister, uncle forry, elvira and come to think of it, the guy who was watching the door (compared to miss steven's). we where stationed by the entrance and just so happened that brinke stevens table was across from ours. i have been told on many occasions to ask miss stevens on the show by friends who know her such as armondo creeper and raven white, but never really had a interest, of course not because my show is anything great, (especially if anyone has seen it) just because i didn't have any appeal to her, and that might be saying something because i let anyone on the show!!. 

later when the convention was winding down, raven and zephira was doing interviews with people, they asked me who was the lady sitting across from the table, i told them and they wanted to ask her for a interview. i hesitated, then said go ahead if you want. they asked her very politely while no one was at her table, she then asked them for what station and then with a non-interested smirk, said ' no thanks, and a condescending expression, but you have nice outfits'. 

my eyebrow went up to see the embarassment look of the girls while they walked back to our table. 

brinke "brickhead" stevens then looked over at me, i then said loudly so she could hear, 'that's o.k. girls, she isn't anyone anyway". 

let me say again, i am nobody, my show is silly, but there is a much more politely way of saying no, especially when you are not on the level of a bruce campbell or mr. ackerman. 

miss stevens, if this gets back to you some way, it will mean that i will never get a chance of doing a interview or you coming on the show (boo hoooo), i guess i'll have to take that chance:).

i do regret saying go ahead to the girls, it would have been a waste of tape.
