I just found the coffee filter signed by Rupert Jee at the Hello Deli http://www.hello-deli.com/. I thought I lost it, and don't really know how it turned up on my desk just now.

That was March 2. Rupert had did a bit with a coffee filter hat on Late Show with David Letterman. I went down to the deli after the show and asked him to give me an autograph on a coffee filter which he kindly did. He said he had been nervous shooting the clip. I felt like David's cracks about the deli being a dump were racist. But the place was kind of gross in that New York street way. Donald Trump was a guest. He talked about Charlie Sheen and China. Disney pop start Vanessa Hutchins was also on promoting Beastly.

After seeing the taping of the show, I wondered if I hated David Letterman. I tried hard not to feel bad about getting the worst seat in the house, especially since the woman I was with was really making a fuss. But his repudiation of Trump has me feeling better.

I'd been thinking about this Lucinda Williams song this morning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiQVaGdJEMY&NR=1
