Tuesday I went to three more Hooters locations that I had not been to yet, bringing my total up to 79 different locations all together.My 77th Hooters was Hooters of Casselberry (near Orlando). The place looks like it's been there for a while but the food and the service were fine. I liked that they had a pool table and some arcade games and I especially liked the weekly contests that they do -

I went to NYC a bunch of times this summer to see friends and to go to a birthday party, a wedding, and an annual softball game which draws people from all over the country...no, I don't actually play at the softball games, I just socialize...and apparently I also drink because I always have a cup in my hand in every pic...I tried making cookies on the grill at the game - not one of my best ideas

I had been growing it for three years to donate it to Locks of Love.These were taken less than ten mins before getting it cut. I had them cut off 11 inches. I still have about two inches left so I have a head start for next time.

I was walking behind Sandy (as she is called on the set) during a rehearsal for a movie, she stepped backwards, and her butt rubbed up against my right leg and butt. She smells nice. She is quite attractive in person and has a great personality. Ryan Reynolds also has a good personality and seemed fun.

Since some friends and family have asked, I am in this scene, about 6-7 minutes into the movie, right after a scene in which the main character is talking about a scholarship to a professor in an office with a fireplace.I start off under the awning and walk around the corner. I look goofy and my fat ass looks gigantic on the big screen as I walk out of frame.

I'm not a doctor, but I played one in a movie. I was originally supposed to be a patient but wardrobe didn't have any hospital gowns (for a scene at a hospital!?!?!?) so they gave me blue scrubs and white clogs. Props gave me a hospital ID badge of a Cardiologist to complete the outfit. Instant doctor.I did a quick scene with TV's Sarah Connor. I was so excited because I really liked that show

To sum it up quite simply: one of the fucking best concerts I have ever been to!After seeing Joe and Aerosmith close to 90 times at this point, it is easy for me to be apathetic about them and be less than enthusiastic about some of their gigs. But this is not one of those times at all.Aside from three songs by his sons' band, TAB the Band, the rest of the set was pretty much all Joe Perry and

They had comedians Bob Kelly and Jeffrey Ross as well WWE wrestler MVP as guests.We went out to lunch at the Heartland Brewery where I had a beer sampler and fell in love with their Indian River Light Ale.

I slept for barely 40 minutes on the plane ride from Boston to Phoenix. I woke up as soon as they came through with beverages. But there was no food. Unless they served the entire jet full of people in like ten minutes, but when I woke up I didn't even see anyone have any empty wrappers or trash or anything. So it sucked to be on a 5.5 hour flight with nothing but a couple of cans of diet Sprite.

I worked on this movie this week. I can't say too much about it but Wednesday I was in every scene except for one. I played a NASA employee. In a few of the scenes I was right in the action. I had to wear really bad 1970's clothes and shoes and they glued big sideburns on me...

I went to the annual Festival of Trees last week. Over 200 decorated trees in all shapes and sizes and colors and themes. Trees are donated by area businesses and organizations such as my high school and Bugaboo Creek. You can buy raffle tickets to win whatever tree(s) you want.Here is a video from my phone...

Not much detail here but several weeks ago I did a few scenes in the movie Bachelor No. 2 starring Dane Cook and Kate Hudson. In once scene I was walking by them in a park while they were jogging and in another I was walking down the street while Dane was talking with Jason Biggs. This week I did a couple of plays. I had the lead role in an episode of The Saint and a co-lead role in an episode of

This one is about two months overdue. So much happened and it was a really great trip down to NY with my friends Rascal, James, Leadbelly, and PMS. On the way down we saw a roll-over accident on I-95 in CT. We didn't actually see it flip but I saw it as it was settling into the woods in a ditch on the left. Lots of dust and dirt blew all around. I had seen things like that before so I knew what

I think it was a great turnout (a couple hundred people!) and lots of fun. I really enjoyed meeting people - I'm sorry that I didn't get to meet everyone but I tried.I was VERY bummed out that the police confiscated my beer ball and shut down our contests after the Rock Scream competition, but it was still a fun time anyway. And thanks to Danny and Travis for judging the Rock Screams. :)I should

It was a relatively boring show. It started off strong with Limelight and then an older obscure song or two and Free Will several songs later. That was followed by some new songs that didn't really go over very well and a few more obscure things.About an hour into the show was intermission, after intermission was five or six more brand new songs. Ugh. All slow or midtempo. A few of them kinda

Bankruptcy has claimed the life of all of the Hooters locations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire and Rhode Island. They were killed by some upstate NY locations that drowned the franchisee in debt.I am extremely saddened by the news. The closest location to me is now 111 miles away from me in CT.

Three weeks ago I went to Providence ago for a scene in an upcoming movie called 27 Dresses. It stars Katherine Heigl from Grey's Anatomy and it should be out early next year. This is my fourth film in the post ten months and the second film in a row in which my car was used - my role in this is "Pedestrian With Car" which pretty much meant that I won't be seen at all because I drove around the

As I sit here writing this I am waiting for it to get dark so the movie shoot I am on can continue. I've been here seven hours (an hour away from overtime rate!) and I've worked about 90 minutes so far. The first 4.5 were really tough: snack-break followed by lunch. That was it. No work, just sit around and wait and eat (and get paid for it). In the scene we did so far I walked past the main

The show was amazing. Seriously. Pink was a definite crowd-pleaser and Justin worked hard for his money. He either strummed guitar or played organ or piano for about half the songs. For the other half he was non-stop dancing and working the crowd. I got tired just watching him.His band was rocking: two guitar players, two drummers, two keyboard players, a shitload of hot dancers and singers. The

For a bunch of old guys, they get the job done and never fail to entertain. Tyler and Perry in particular are at the top of their game, singing and playing like kids half their age.It was nice to see Tom Hamilton return for a bunch of songs. He looked a bit on the tired side and perhaps a little weak when he played with the rest of the band at the Tweeter Center in September, but he seemed so

That's the name of a movie that should be out sometime in 2007. I worked on it one day last week at the football stadium in Foxboro.The first scene I was in, The Rock walked right past me from behind, but I wasn't supposed to notice him so I couldn't turn to look. There were only 20 of us in that scene and that's probably the only part I was in that won't get cut - when my back is in the shot.

While at a funeral yesterday I noticed that my front license plate was missing. Later on at home we found the license plate's bolts in the driveway where I was parked the night before. So it was obvious that someone had stolen my plate and it didn't just fall off by itself.I called the local police and asked if it was anything to worry about and they told me to go downtown to file a police report

Last week started off badly when I blew a hose in my JetSki after riding for only a few minutes. But it quickly turned around by Sunday afternoon.When I got home from the river, my mom called to have me meet her and my cousins out for drinks. The place we went, Sal's, has a really nice deck along the river and it was a perfect day for something like that. After having a few cocktails we decided

I saw the old Boston band Extreme last night. It was ok...JUST ok. They played for close to 2.5 hours and didn't finish until 11:30 but I was bored for about a total of an hour. For most of the show, literally every other song was something I didn't want to hear. I would have preferred more "fun" stuff from their first two albums rather than the slow-trudging filler material they had on their

Went to the show last night in Gilford, NH. The night had the potential to suck for a lot of various reasons but the show itself was very good.Especially the set-list. I've been seeing Sammy Hagar for like 20 years and this is the first time I can remember ever seeing him play his song from the movie Footloose. And he played a few songs from his early-80's "Standing Hampton" album that I haven't

There has been a lot of violence in area nighclubs so I wrote this that appears in today's Eagle-Tribune:Punish clubs that break the rulesI respectfully disagree with The Eagle-Tribune's opinion about closing all Lawrence bars and nightclubs early.While it is obvious that violence is a problem and I certainly agree that something needs to be done, I do not feel that shutting down everything early

I went to Orlando a few weeks ago to visit my mom, see the water-ski show at Cypress Gardens, and add a new Hooters to my list (I am up to my 69th different Hooters location now; you can read the background of my Hooters obsession here).It was on Song Airlines (which will be absorbed by Delta soon) and it was a pretty fun flight because they have more than a thousand MP3s to listen to, games to

I finally got around to writing about this. During the calendar year 1997-1998, there was only one month that I was not either on a plane or a train somewhere. Literally.I spent almost the entire first six months of 1997 on the road in Philadelphia and in Washington, DC. I was home for Easter and Father's Day but was away the rest of the time.I spent 65 days at the Holiday Inn in Washington, DC.

I dug out my pilot's license and went flying this morning for the first time in like five years (I was supposed to go a few years ago, but then the September 11th stuff happened and all flights were grounded).A picture perfect day today and we could see the NH mountains from Boston! The straight-and-level flying was easy for me -- almost like riding a bike -- but I think I'll leave the landings

While I wasn't a huge fan of Sunday's show, I wouldn't say it totally sucked, like a lot of other hard-core fans have said.It was very cool to have classics like "Seasons Of Wither" and "No More No More" in the same show along with "Walkin' The Dog" and "Helter Skelter", and I am probably one of the only ppl who don't object to "Angel" especially since they don't beat it to death like some of

Just in time for the holidays, the Factory Of Terror is baaaaaack. I went there last year and it was definitely worth the drive, so Shannon and I went there last night. I liked it for the most part. There were a few spots that totally scared the shit outta me! And there were also a few spots that were just so-so. But the place is big -- lots of rooms, with lots of dark spots where "creatures"

I first went to New Orleans while on a cruise in 1995 or '96 (it was long ago so I don't remember exactly when). It was the first time I had ever been to a Hooters and I had no idea that would become such a hobby for me.I went back to New Orleans in 2001. My family drove from Florida to meet me there. Of course I went to two more Hooters restaurants, one of which is currently listed as "Closed

Had some at Old Orchard Beach yesterday...who woulda thunk that there would be such a thing. For some reason they seem especially good when chased by a Dr. Pepper.I've always liked O.O.B. because there is much to do, especially if you enjoy drinking. ;-)The epicenter is around the pier and everything else sort of spreads out from there.

I have been fortunate that most of those years have been outside of a typical 9-to-5 schedule because my 32-mile trip would easily take more than an hour using Interstates 495 and 93 (and that doesn't count the extra 15 to 30 minutes it

Went to Orlando two weekends ago with some friends. It rained every day and it was hot as hell. I mean DISGUSTINGLY hot! REALLY nasty ugly weather! But I didn't let that spoil my fun riding the rides...Went on Mission: Space at Epcot (where a four year old died earlier this week). That was AWESOME!

Several weeks ago I responded to something I saw somewhere and wound up getting in touch with a reporter from the New York Times. We exchanged a bunch of emails and a few phone calls and they even sent a photographer to take pics of me (the photographer has done portraits of celebrities and politicians and has had many magazine covers).Yesterday the reporter said that they liked my pic but then I

Chris and I went to see the movie Be Cool, the sequel to Get Shorty this morning. We knew from the start not to expect the greatest movie ever, but it had its moments.We had to see it no matter what because we are IN in the movie.

I went to Mohegan Sun and won about $380-ish before I gave some of it back. I guess I felt badly for the Indians and didn't want to take too much money away from them? hahaha! I started off winning $80 on the big (upright) wheel that they spin and you bet on. I think they call it the Money Wheel or Wheel Of Fortune -- many casinos have different names for it. After that was about a $50 win on

This is a view from the lobby of the hotel. See that little hut-like thing in the middle of the pic between the two pools? That's a swim-up bar where we spent tons of time.

A few weeks ago, Shannon planted a seed... She said she's never been to NYC for New Year's Eve and since she is temporarily living near Boston now, she was thinking of going. I went there 10 years ago and had a great time despite miserable freezing rain, so I was due to go back. She picked me up from work and we sped down to New Haven, CT to catch the train to NYC.

A new Hooters opened about 10 minutes from my house so as of this month, I have been to 66 different Hooters in the USA. Now, that's not to say that I've been to Hooters 66 times...no no no...these 66 are different Hooters locations where I have been at least one time each.

We also took a trip down the coast to Naples, Pompeii, and Sorrento.

In the Spring of 2003, I went to St. Louis for a few days and visited some Hooters. My 50th Hooters was across the river from St. Louis in Illinois. Several weeks later I went on a weekend trip to Hollywood, Las Vegas, and Orange County. I stayed at the infamous West Hollywood Hyatt, which is nicknamed "The Riot House" because it is where rock bands of the 70's wreaked havoc and rode motorcycles

On May 21, 1999, the Late Show with David Letterman featured an audience entirely from Boston. Audience members were mostly radio station contest winners. However, I had an idea... I called the Late Show office the day of the show and asked if they had any standby or standing room tickets available. They said there may possibly be two openings but they wouldn't know for sure until later on --
