"There's no earthly way of knowing Which direction we are going." Willy Wonka




In February of 2010, 12 months earlier, I called his publicist in New York to
submit my offer to do a phoner and feature on www.Buzznews.net promoting his
MBE/Twain film. They told me he had moved on from that PR firm about two months
earlier, so I put in the request through his agent.

I didn't get a firm yes on that interview from him directly
until nine months later in October of 2010 when I was in Santa Fe for the
film festival. Now it's January of 2011, a full year later and I get a 
positive response about booking his show within four hours of extending it.

Now we are going back and forth about a whole bunch of different
options for booking his Mark Twain show sometimes with only four minutes 
between responses, sometimes not even waiting 
for the other to respond before sending more information about the last 
question. I'm thrilled of course and at the same time I am kind of 
dizzy trying to process and keep up with all the different 
information he is giving me.

Sure, I will let you know what the range is.  are you actually having Louis
Black join you? or was that just an example? Also by co-hosting. do you
mean he will open for you and do a set of his stand up before your one act?

no its another idea i have to combine some of the speaking gigs I've been 
offered. The agent that reps Gorbachev and the other big guys, can get
50 to 100 if the speech is good. If the theme is good. I think Twain
is like a brilliant talk show host and can be the sun out of which 
many bright rays of curren event can flow. 
sorry I am very tired and not focused
