Sandy Hook Shooting


'check out www.sandyhookkidscenter.com if you can.  I'm feeling way out' of my league and somewhat opportunistic even though I've dedicated a lifetime to eradicating on behalf of kids.  I have references that more than qualify me, but I may be delusional thinking one guy can make right what one man-made wrong.   

Thanks,
John

SANDY HOOK Newtown, CT. - The Healing Begins...

GOD DAMN APPLE



GOD DAMN APPLE!

I ruined my Macbook Pro, and had to have it replaced.  The so called "Genious" bar destroyed ALL my documents, made me lose 8000 songs, and the past 6 months of my facilitating the building of Sandy Hook's Chase's Place Children's Center and all they could say is if you're not happy you can return it.  

*You lose 6 months worth of work.  
*Jeopardize a $50,000,000.00 project (the work lost had been my 30 day stay in Sandy Hook and all that I "thought" had been accomplished in my attempt to build a children's center.

"BUT, YOU CAN RETURN IT....

Brooke, Sarah and Matthew, Julianne, Liv, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, please bare with me while I recreate what friggin APPLE lost.  

Return it.   UGH!!!!   This is when I long for my IBM Thinkpad days.  I've never ever had a problem AND my i-Tunes corrected themselves.

The amazing, talented, beautiful Julianne was the one of the first people to offer support in the building of a children's center in Sandy Hook.
I was on my way to the pharmacy and ran into her prior to my entering the store.  I said, "Hey Julie, I'm on my way to Sandy Hook.  Would you be willing to help out."  She said it was a great thing I was doing and she'd do all that she could.  "Who's your publicist," I asked.  "Stephen Huvan, " she replied. Great, I know Stephen (I worked the mail-room at CAA years ago.....).  "I'll send him my information.  Thanks, Julie.  Always great to see you."  "Bye," she replied.

Walking away, I go damn!  I still haven't told her that I was still holding a grudge from when she slapped Madonna in the face in "Body of Evidence."

As I was in the pharmacy, I called Stephen Huvane and got an e-mail address.  He had left his old job to create what is now know as SLATE, PR.  By the time I left, Mr. Huvane had already responded.  THAT is why he's listed as the top most powerful publicists.  The Huvane brothers are great too by the way.  I remember Kevin fondly from my schlepper days at CAA.  Great guy, and that is why he now runs CAA.
