A few of us Gershwin alumni are mentioned on Page Six today. My name is spelled right but the real focus of the item is Neke Carson's fabulous Tuesday night event series @ the Gershwin Hotel. This Tuesday 1/29 Debbie Harry (of "Blondie") will read her poetry.

Neke has been a friend and colleague for many years. He is a columnist for Night magazine and a witty prankster with new tricks up his sleeve always... Thanks, Neke!

January Magazine
A review by Emru Townsend just went up at January, the award-winning Canadian lit-site. (That's a lit-site that happens to be Canadian. Not a Can-lit website.)

Townsend's review is entitled "The Business of Pleasure."

National TV: Monday 1/28 at 7:00 pm
TNN (The National Network) will air an intriguing segment entitled "Madame Butterfly." Part of Fame For 15, a series about, yes, the quirky nature of FAME. This 30-minute show is about Sydney Biddle Barrows (who is famous for being the "Mayflower Madam") and Theresa LaPore (designer of Florida's infamous Butterfly Ballot.) I appear in the second part of the show, discussing the impact Sydney Barrows had on working girls of the '80s and '90s.

For more information http://www.tnnonline.com/shows/fame/ or http://www.tvguide.com for local listings. Airtime: Monday 7:00 pm in all time zones across the USA.

Mysteries of Media -- The Unravelling
Okay, I've been updated.

British readers: Wendy now says that my book is mentioned in the JANUARY issue of The Face, p. 112. The Face is also sold in the States, not sure where else. It is the issue with a semi-nude Kylie Minogue on the cover.

Germany: I was in Focus, the news weekly, late December. Issue #51/2001 I am still trying to hunt down a copy.

Mysteries of Media: Focus (Germany)
Rumor has it there was some recent coverage of my book in the German magazine, Focus. I don't have the date on this one, much less the actual article. If anyone has seen this, I would love to hear from you! My email address is quan@salon.com
Thanks!!




UK Media News: December Face
Last night, I received a sweet note from Wendy-Joy who was reading the latest ish of FACE, the British monthly. Wendy tells me that "Diary" gets a nice plug on page 112 of the December issue. I can't wait to see it! Am going to Barnes & Noble tonight to look for it in the magazine section. Will update when I find a copy. I will be deeply grateful to anyone who can point me to their website or send me the magazine! My own Google search has been fruitless. Or should I say faceless.




Wednesday in LA: Live Radio Chat on KLAC-AM570
Wednesday, Jan. 16, I'm on the Michael Jackson Show, KLAC-AM570 in Los Angeles, talking about "Diary." Jackson's show airs 9:00 AM to Noon Pacific Time, and I'll soon have precise info about my time slot. But for those of you who like to be prepared: Think Wednesday... In Southern Cali, tune in or listen live from anywhere, online.
