This morning, Brian was interviewed at ABC studios in NYC. With the recent rise in gas prices, the travel industry has taken some hits, and as a principal of Hotel Hotline, who better to opine on the subject?

I tagged along for moral support, and to step into the spot should he have gotten hit by a truck or an uncontrollable case of stagefright. Luckily, neither transpired, and I was more or less a groupie

The whole thing was really a blast. It was my first time in a national news room, and the entire experience was a bit overwhelming. I was ready to do my Snoop Dogg imitation in the green room with some gin and a blunt, but they stuck us in a conference room until show time.

I sat in the main news room while Brian was on, and tried to get as many pictures as I could. The security guy asked me to stop taking pictures, because some of the ABC brass were meeting behind me, and would not like me taking pics. Luckily, I was able to grab some pretty decent shots anyway.

I took a lot away from the event, and should I get called on for a future TV spot, I think I will be less anxious that I would have otherwise been. Kudos to Brian - and viva la Hotel Hotline!
