It was a lonely, frosty cold vigil outside Staples Center this evening. I stood at the front of the police baricade with my DT sign unfurled in all its glory. Below a hand drawn DT logo, the sign read:
"The Faithful Live Awake. Congratulations on your 2011 Grammy Nomination!"
The crowd gathered behind me. I was in perfect position to witness all the Grammy guests as they funneled from the ceremony to the afterparty at Nokia next door. Thousands of gowns and tuxedos. A three and 1/2 hour vigil, but alas, no sightings of the Cap, Bear, Wiz, Ninja or Genie.
Oddly enough, a Japanese TV crew apporached me to ask me on air what I thought of the Whitney Houston death. I declined to comment.
