On today's ARIYNBF (Barry Schuler, Courtney Cummz, Alfred Schulz, Koryn, LOOK)

On today’s live from New York show which is happening promptly at 7pm-ish ET (4pm-ish PT), all sorts of wild and crazy stuff is going to go down. What kind of stuff? Well first of all, Barry Schuler, former CEO of AOL and education advocate (he’s in town to speak at this) and winery aficionado and short-pulse laser beam specialist and producer of the new Showtime series LOOK and guy who said I’m the future of TV, rightly so,  is going to be on my show IN MY APARTMENT. We’re going to talk about LOOK which was a movie and is now a series and is completely told with footage from surveillance cameras. Creepy, right? But not in a horror way. It’s a kick-off to next week’s LOOK premiere party in LA which I’m going to be streaming from live. (I’m giving away five invites!)

Then we’re going to talk to adult film star Courtney Cummz who is sort of the Richard Simmons to my David Letterman. What I mean by that is I’m both amused and a little frightened by her. Perhaps she has some thoughts about privacy rights which is one of the things LOOK makes you think about.

Here’s a question: Is concern over privacy rights more a male preoccupation than a female one? And to what degree does it correlate with knowledge of computers and tech? Because my friends who work in tech and perhaps spent some time as hackers are uniformly concerned. Or maybe it’s this predisposition which led them to work in tech? Juxtapose this with me who walks around thinking about my hair and ducklings and figuring all that information is out there and if someone wants to find it they will and look, a puppy! Which is not to say that after watching LOOK, the movie, I wasn’t acutely aware of all the surveillance cameras everywhere because I was. And then when I worked at one of the magazines I worked at I was always aware of the cameras and when there was a rash of petty theft I wondered why they couldn’t just look at the film and see who was stealing my tape recorder (it turned out of be my then boyfriend who needed to borrow it. “Throw the book at him!” I yelled, throwing a book at him. It was just a book of post-it notes because he’d stolen everything else.)

Also we’ll be receiving a visit from Alfred Schulz who has some Things You Never Hear People Say, and Koryn will be dropping in!

Plus all the other stuff you love!

So watch here at 7pm ET tonight and log in to the chat room, won’t you?

    Daaaang… I can’t believe all I wrote was “that!” What I meant to say was Sunday was probably the best show Alison has had in a long time. Guests were awesome and funny… Alison was awesome and funny… and I was awesome and funny! Not to mention everyone was awesome and funny!

    I’ve had the Alison Rosen theme song playing in my head since sunday. I was even singing it this morning when I was putting on my socks. I’ve tried everything to make it stop to no avail. I have come to the conclusion you have some kind of evil, (as evil as someone who loves baby ducks can be), mind control machine and you are using it to achieve your feindish goal of world domination. I’m ok with that but the song is making me nutz. Sincerly JustAndrew
