Well, today Van Halen finally plays in Dallas, Texas. I should be there. Its the rescheduled show from early March that I came home for, then they cancelled as I was driving to "the big D". That truly sukt. As if to mock me, today I got the Van Halen Newsletter sent to me, letting me know the show was tonight. Man.
A very healthy looking Eddie Van Halen was well enough to attend The Tiger Woods Foundation concert, TIGER JAM last week. The newsletter included a list of "special guests":
VIPs included sports greats Scott Hamilton and Julius “Dr. J” Erving, “Dancing With The Stars” performers Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas, NBA superstars Dwyane Wade and Alonzo Mourning of the Miami Heat, and celebrity auctioneer Vivica Paulin Ferrell.
Now how do you get to be a "celebrity auctioneer"? What qualifications do you need? Obviously fame is not required, I've never heard of this person. Maybe I've been here too long. And what the hell is Scott Hamilton and Kristi Yama-Guchi-Guchi-Goo doing there? I definitely wouldn't be bragging if Scott Hamilton showed up at my party. Brian Boitono, maybe.
Look at Eddies hands. They're freak'n HUGE. I hope thats just an optical illusion 'cuz they look like one of those crabs on "The Deadliest Catch". Big hands are better hold your liquor bottle with, I guess. Ouch, sorry, I still like ya, Ed.

Eddie's pose is what cracks me up. It's very sorority girl in the exactness of it: hips away from the camera to minimize them, hand placed disreetly on the thigh, very slight head tilt to make sure a non-existent double chin doesn't pop up in there.
This is the reason Mom and Dad sent me to college.
wow, you unveiled MY secrets, too.
Are you sure that's not Mickey Rourke?
Seems to me that the real question is: Just how much can you auction a celebrity for? I mean, what will Scott Hamilton fetch on the open market?
