santa ana winds blowin' hot from the north

Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa are doing their show from Los Angeles (actually Glendale) on tape-delay this week. During today's "host chat" segment, Regis mentioned that he turned on the radio in his rental car and listened to "Kevin & The Bean" [sic]. I emailed Bean and let him know so he could grab the sound bite on the West Coast feed.

Hearing Regis mention Kevin & Bean reminded me to go to kroq.com and listen to the audio stream for a while. I heard an interview with Bob Guccione, Jr. and one of Ralph's Showbiz Reports. Ralph had a ticket giveaway for one of the things I miss most about L.A.

The tickets were for the William S. Paley Television Festival, an amazing annual event put on by the Museum of Television & Radio. If I were still in L.A., I would try to get tickets to the nights with the casts and creators of "Entourage," "My Name is Earl" and "How I Met Your Mother."

It's funny that I would get homesick for Los Angeles on a day that Knoxville had absolutely perfect weather.
