@danklyn When I first heard that album I was about 15 years old it took me places I'd never been in my imagination. Remains that way for me.
@seeitdesign that would have ruined the "we're not really tourists" glow we had going on, now, wouldn't it have?
Since the Cindy Lauper story is best read in sequence, here it is on Tumblr for you: http://mollydotcom.tumblr.com/day/2010/10/15

@FataL Thanks for the heads up on that. Let me talk to 'em.
@designloft You are taking this a bit farther into fantasy land than might be healthy, Mr. Wonderful. ;)
@sarahebourne exactly. We played that one smoooothly, we did ;)
@daz_angie So funny. To hear Cindy Lauper say to me "Hi, I'm Cindy Lauper" in that great accent (like I didn't know who she was) - funny.
@scottgal yeah, you gotta read it in order. I tried to do a (1) (2) (3) but ended up with two 3s. Sorry bout that!
@oneswellfoop Well, as long as she was happy with you calling her Whoopi, no harm, no foul! I love stories like that.
@designloft yeah, makes a little bit of a difference ;)
Suffice it to say we never paid for another drink that evening. And maybe it was, after all, really George Clinton. Only George & I know ;)
"Nice to meet you Cindy. Cute glasses!" I say. "My son hates em" says Cindy. "So is he ..." and I say "someone very special, why yes." (3)
Sidling up next to me is none other than Cindy Lauper. She says "Hi, I'm Cindy Lauper" in that fab voice of hers. "Is that George..." (3)
Suddenly, all these young guys are walking up to my friend, shaking his hand, and buying him beers. My friend "George" plays along (2)
I have a friend here in the UK who bears a striking resemblance to George Clinton. We're having a drink in an undisclosed posh location (1)
so before all the drah-ma happened with my passport and what-not, I had a very funny incident involving Cindy Lauper. Wanna hear?
@brunsvold And to think, I could probably negotiate a free subscription for you. ;)
@ang @abduzeedo Excellent! Vamos a Brazil (I can't speak any Portuguese, alas)
