@Jimmy_Barrett's Radio City show

  • Decided to post a copy of my pal @Jimmy_Barrett's @_RadioCity show from last week… just in case the TWFCC decides to remove it. Bravo JB!
  • A day or two before the show…
  • Hosting a film premier for It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World @_RadioCity on Sunday. Come for the bad acting, stay for the plot holes. #MMRC
  • It's a heist film starring Buddy Hackett, which suits him as he's been stealing my jokes for years. #mmrc
  • I'm not saying Hackett's new film is bad, but I heard that some critics have been walking out... into traffic... on purpose. #mmrc
  • Heard that @bobbie_barrett sent an invite to @lanepryce, one of the limeys running Sterling-Coo, to our shindig @_radiocity.
  • I don't care if the British are coming on Saturday; my joke about Queen Elizabeth and the deaf Japanese ambassador stays in the act. #mmrc
  • The @_radiocity mgmt just reminded me to advertise Sunday's show or else they'll replace me with Joey Bishop. I need the paycheck. #mmrc
  • Speaking of @_radiocity, saw Bye Bye Birdie there this year. Amazing architecture. Not the building, I meant Ann-Margret's brasserie. #mmrc
  • Have to ask @bobbie_barrett if my lawyer's retainer is paid up. Have a feeling I'm might need to call him after I do my act on Sun. #mmrc
  • Just before the show… the show… and then some…
  • Trying to finalize my outfit for tonight. Choices are a white dinner jacket or another white dinner jacket. #mmrc
  • A few minutes before show time, enough time to scout out a few Rockettes who want to further their careers.
  • I don't know what stinks worst: the corned beef at the deli next to @_radiocity or the film we're about to premiere.#mmrc
  • Where's @bobbie_barrett? I can't get my bow tie on straight?#mmrc
  • I just paid the kid sitting behind @don_draper $5 to kick the back of his seat for the whole show. #mmrc
  • With @lanepryce and @david_ogilvy sitting in the audience, there are more stiff Brits in @_radiocity than a London brothel.
  • Ok, so the joke about Queen Elizabeth and the deaf Japanese ambassador didn't go over as well as planned. #mmrc
  • My jokes might be received better if the audience was drunker... or if I was. I wonder if the liquor store on 49th can deliver... in bulk.
  • You're going to love tonight's movie, guys and gals. It's the best cure for insomnia since sominex.
  • I'm getting the signal to get off the stage, but one more joke.#mmrc
  • I think I got enough of the audience to walk out. That will teach Kramer for not putting me in his movie. #mmrc
  • I just heard @roger_sterling say he was going "abroad" and then he walked into the women's powder room. #mmrc
  • Took up too much time on stage. @_ethelmerman and @edie_adams are out for my blood. @bobbie_barrett can take care of this tomorrow #mmrc
  • Just got a look from @bettydraper that would stop a clock.#mmrc
  • @madmenparty The shapely ones between 18 and 23 can come in. #mmrc
  • Looks like the show is about to start. Good thing I snuck a bottle from the bar. http: //bit.ly/1i0xS #mmrc
@benardo’s crazy typographic version of the Twittertini … think he had a few too many.

Dear twitter readers...

I do look at every bio, every page, and every body before I follow back. Okay I do get busy and miss a few good people. But mostly return the follow unless the bio contains any of the following words/items/terms including:
Private, seo, arms crossed, no photo, award winning, expert, marketing pro, updates lower than following, anything CAPPED, over 10,000 updates, cool, ___preneur, zero @messages, power, success, $$$ or San Fran - It’s San Francisco.

Happy to follow entities using these words/items/terms:
Gun slinger, wizard, (Any alcohol related term), comic book character, wannabe, Texas, love, writer, baseball, and [the word] stuff.

But can always be swayed by:
A cute photo, puppy, the name Betty, women with grey, men in kilts, cigarette coupons, good air-brushing, and well made cars.

 #140conf Monday night - My man Terell at the Vangaurd session No.2 14 min.

A few days back, I had the good fortune to step out of my normal day-to-day for a visit with the computer-net’s Twitter-Elite. Mr. Jeff Pulver kindly invited me to his “140 Characters” convention in New York City. Here’s a shot of yours truly mixing Twittertinis for the thirsty crowd. (photo courtesy of @EmilysPearl ) However, I feel that I must give this disclaimer: due to a certain unforeseen spacetime continuum flux, I strangely appear a bit heavier/older than normal. Cheers, Frank.

A few tweet worthy #140conf Hotels:

  • #140conf Hotel Re-Post: @sarahkatharine hudson hotel on 58 and 8th is bomb. V classy brit hunting lodge bar and terrace bar.
  • #140conf Hotel Re-Post: @zaneology: @FrankAdman Nifty. I'm booked at the @RogerSmithHotel.
  • #140conf Hotel Re-Post: @bellanyc1: @FrankAdman dream hotel. Ridiculous. Plush. Chic
  • #140conf Hotel Re-Post: @kimberli9: @FrankAdman The Amsterdam Court, absolutely...
@jeffpulver: Very well done @FrankAdman. Nice Indie Film for #140conf. Friends can take a look over at: http://bit.ly/PZcRf

Mr. Dale has a different take on ”A Swingin Affair.” Many of the older surfers don’t care for this hodad but I think he’s boss.

A little twitter film my sister and pal Cope put together for the 140 Characters Conference in NYC. If I can pull myself away from a lipstick model photo session scheduled for the week of June 15th I will certainly pop in. Well, as long as they have an open bar that is. F
