Dr. Frank Fennel and his lovely wife Sheila make the big time. Sorta

News Type: Event — Tue Aug 7, 2007 12:30 AM EDT

I don't know about you, but I think Perez colored his hair so that he and Dr. Frank and Sheila would coordinate.

I think Neal is asking himself if this is really a good idea this early in his career. He has no idea that he's just cemented himself into fame. Girls in fishnets? That's nothing compared to holding Dr. Frank and Sheila in his hands.

Oh. Ew. But okay.

Gratuitous photo of my adorable niece, while she and I took in Ben Harper in the Kidzapalooza section. Isn't she cute?

Coincidentally, she looks bizarrely identical to one un-named aunt of hers when that aunt was a baby. Hmmm...who could that be?

Okay, another gratuitous photo. The other one was weirdly blurry, and I wanted to make sure you fully understood how cute this child is.

I know I owe you people some real coverage of Lollapalooza, but right now my brain is only capable of talking about the adventure that Dr. Frank and his wife Sheila experienced this past weekend.

Granted, they spent most of it in my purse, but they made a couple of brief forays.

They came along to an after party, which I'll be discussing at length shortly, and were held by none other than the world-famous media whore himself, Perez Hilton. And I take an unbelievable amount of pride in telling you all that I got to ask the man if he'd just taken his shirt out of the package, as it still retained the crease around the third button. He replied, "Yes! I did!"

On Sunday, Dr. Frank and Sheila got held by the next big thing, the lead singer of the new-ish band Mink (interview and show review to follow also!), Neal Carlson. Not only that, but he was thrilled to do so, although a little freaked out by some of Sheila's, shall we say, abilities.

And he put the dang thing in his mouth. I won't even handle these two without gloves. Do you know where they've been? Turkey? Afghanistan? New York? The inside of my purse? Maybe what rides along on Dr. Frank and Sheila are the least of his worries, I don't know. Someone that sinewy-sexy, wearing red pants that tight, well, um...nevermind.

Enjoy.

More coverage to follow soon. But this is honestly all I had the energy for.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

She is quite cute.

So is Perez as weird in person as he comes across in print and tv?

I'm looking forward to reading your reports.

I emailed you an apology.

I think you may be right. ;)

I've had the chickens already, I am proud to be the instigator of their white hot yet placid rollercoaster of love, I'm happy they're getting out more.

They have been to Connecticut, New york, Turkey, Afghanistan, the first vinemeet and now Lollapalooza.

I would like to suggest they get sent to each vinemeet where, after deliberations a new host is selected based on the variety of perspective that is Newsvine.

Thanks for this, Viki... Praise Frank!

I agree. I know Obleo wants the chickens next. Maybe this will be the final incentive to get him to Vinemeet West. Are the chickens travelling soon, Viki?

lauhal and I have tentative plans to meet for drinks and some chicken fun. She deserves some time with them, as she donated $135 to charity to secure their release from the nefarious chicknappers.

We can either send them to Obleo from there or straight to the VineMeet, whichever you prefer. And they should most definitely be in attendance at every VineMeet.

Send them to me. I want to make sure they don't miss the Vinemeet. If Obleo doesn't attend, well, let's just say his lips will have to be fused to my butt before he can bask in Dr. Frank's presence.
