Re: [DML] Tom Wilson In Hollywood FL This Weekend

["sweetp01569" <paul.sweet@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our local new england group was asked by a radio promotor sponsoring 
a benefit comedy show involving Tom Wilson last October in 
Worcester, MA to have some cars present at the show.  Three of us 
had cars parked out in front of the venue.  I also had the 
opportunity to bring my car the previous morning to the FOX 25 
studio in Dedham, MA to promote a TV interview FOX had with Tom.  
The idea was to interview him with the car in the background.  
However, he declined to be with the car for the interview, as he was 
trying to promote his comedy and support the charity event.  After 
the interview, he was happy to pose with me and the car outside (see 
pic in Photos section).  He commented on the good condition my car 
was in, and said he was too big to comfortably fit in the car.  I 
don't think he hates the cars, and goofs on them in his song for 
some laughs.  He was really OK woth posing, and he signed a printed 
version of this photo for me at the event later that night, as well 
as autographed my BTTF DVD liner as Tom "Biff" Wilson.
