Had a huge party last night where all the guests left glasses and plates and books scattered everywhere...

People are so nice aren't they?

Why can't people pick up after themselves?

Spent some time with Entravision and Indie 103.1 people talking about the new offices and studios. Sales money seems to be building at Indie and the sales departments from other Clear Channel stations are out hustling, putting the pieces together with the ad dollars.

I met some nice folks and everyone mingled. Several people exchanged cards and numbers. Later people hooked up in the parking lot and continue the chatting.

I thought about heading out for late night food, however was too tired of hosting and bartending to do much of anything other than sleep.

A girl I met the other night was telling me about a number that her girlfriends hand out to guys that press them for their numbers. It is a rejection line that when the guy calls to talk with the girl a man on a message tells them that the person that gave the the number never wants to see or hear from them again.

I know it's cruel, but it is kinda funny. Also brilliant, because the message goes on to advertise printed cards with the number, t-shirts, and other merchandise that they sell.

This girl was telling me all this then later after having a great conversation she wrote down her number and asked me to call her.

Of course I wasn't going to fall for this...

I figured she gave me the rejection line number, so I didn't immediately call her. But as the days came and went, I thought I'd like to hear the the rejection message so I called the number.

She answered.

It wasn't the rejection line at all and now I was flustered because I had really nothing prepared to say to her.

I told her I really thought it was the rejection line number and she seemed very upset that I'd called her looking for that number.

Boy, I was stuck...

Now she will probably never talk to me again because she thinks I rejected her... You know, I only called to hear the rejection line message.

If you'd like to hear it... She finally gave me the real one. You can use it on friends and enemies, Or...

You can also tell people it's Indie 103.1's office number to Program Director Michael Steele.

Have fun!
