I was in a great article in CNN Money (they mention my project at the end of the article – see below). A merry prankster?
Some shop droppers are just merry pranksters. Photographer Marc Horowitz was shooting pictures for a Crate & Barrel catalogue and wrote “Dinner with Marc,” followed by his home phone number, onto a dry erase board built into a piece of furniture he was photographing. The scribble was meant to make the shot seem more realistic, so imagine Horowitz’s surprise when he was subsequently deluged with phone calls from catalogue recipients looking to make dinner plans.
Horowitz couldn’t resist turning it into a project and launched his “National Dinner Tour,” in which he is driving around the country and having dinner with people who responded to his ad. Horowitz has been chronicling his adventures on his web log and is currently putting together a TV show about his high jinks, which he is shopping around to networks, according to his web log.

Definition of jinks: 1. A quick, evasive turn. 2. Rambunctious play; frolic.

This was definitely an interesting dinner. I was approached by Playboy Radio to have dinner with some of their ladies, more specifically Christy Canyon, Julie Ashton, and Tiffany Granath. We were to have dinner live on the air while taking calls from curious listeners.
I never thought I could turn so many shades of red at first, but after a while, I got used to the nature of the whole thing. Most of the callers were truckers and folks from the Midwest. I’d love to repeat some of the conversations with the callers, but I want to keep this site somewhat G rated. So I’ll keep it clean – Christy’s favorite sandwich is corned beef, she made her last video about eight years ago, and she recently published an autobiography titled none else than “Lights, Camera, Sex.” Tiffany recently just got married and Julie retired and moved to Florida with her husband. Christy and Julie both have fake vaginas modeled after their very own that are for sale (note: I found a used one for sale on e-bay – scarey!).
Moral of the dinner – Porn stars are very nice people and they retire early.
P.S.: Those big satellites kinda look like the playboy bunny’s ears. I’m sure they planned it.
