Tonight was a lot like that one night at the music awards. You remember, Taylor Swift won the award, Kanye West interrupted her and said Beyonce should have won it, Beyonce was embarrassed and Taylor was really sad. Well tonight Skype was totally Kanye West, I was Taylor Swift and Adam Baldwin was a gracious Beyonce
It was no one’s fault, well maybe technology in general, but the show did not work. The wonderful people at Stickam.com sat with me on the phone for 3 separate days testing ways to produce a flawless web cam interview with an important celebrity. I can not thank these gentlemen enough. They really went above and beyond to make this the best show possible. But for some reason my computer couldn’t handle the technology. It just kept shutting down. At first Adam and I were laughing about it but after the 3rd time it was getting bumpy and we were losing our audience. We decided we would just reschedule.
Thank you to everyone who showed up to watch, everyone who tweeted and advertised for the show, all my mods and especially the Stickam guys and Adam Baldwin. I’m not going to give away prizes at this time, I’ll figure out a way to do it at a later date if we reschedule or by a contest on the blog.
I apologize once again for all the tech glitches. Please know we put a lot into this and we really did not anticipate having such a hard time. Fingers crossed it turns out better at a later date.

Oh hunny, it will be OK.
Hopefully Adam does reschedule. I know I had a couple questions I really wanted to ask him.
((hugs)) I know how much you were looking forward to this =( Hopefully you guys are able to reschedule.
Hopefully you can reschedule. Sometimes you just can’t predict how temperamental technology will be.
Ugh Technology and its cock-ups http://mysticonion.wordpress.com/2010/02/19/interview-fail/
Should just use old fashioned telepathy next time. Don’t worry hon… you can sort this one out.
Big hugs!
What a bummer. I know you had all your ducks in a row for this too. Sometimes the best laid plans….
I still had a nice time. What we did get was just fine. More than a few smiles, I promise.
Oh man Lee!!!
Oh no Lee that was just awful. I felt terrible for you. I know you were totally on the ball for this. Do you think Adam will really reschedule or do you think he’ll bow out gracefully? I hope it all works out. Did you guys talk last night?
Shelly
The interview was worth it because you are freaking HOT!

It’ll be alright, Lee! Before long you and your new BFF, Adam will just look back and laugh at this. No reason to be upset. Shit happens. I for one and glad it will be rescheduled (??) because I missed it the first time.
I tuned in because I saw this on the front page of Stickam and I am a huge Baldwin fan. Yeah, it was rough and a bit hard to sit through with the delays but the chat room was always open and people were enjoying that. If you reschedule I’ll show up for that too. The man was very entertaining.
BTW I’ve never seen your show before but like the guy said above, you are smokin hot. I’ll be tuning in again if you aren’t talking about mom stuff.
Jeff
Shit happens.
Life happens.
It goes on.
Sometimes these things happen, it wasnt your fault, you didnt do anything wrong & sometimes, these things just happen!!!
You were graceful & patient & fun despite the troubles, Lee!
Sorry Lee, that really stinks! I hope you will do it again! I would love to watch!
hi lee, i’m sorry it didn’t work out last night. i know you worked really hard for it, and your disappointment is understandable. nevertheless, we all know you did your best and we’re hoping you really will be able to reschedule the interview with Adam. if nothing else, it was an opportunity for him to prove again just how gracious he is
.
take it easy, have some wine, and enjoy your weekend! best wishes
So sorry Lee. I did pop in about 20 minutes in but the show was frozen the whole time. I wish I had been able to catch some of the interview, but hopefully next time everything will run smoothly for you.
Oh Lee, I am so sorry this happened to you. I hope everything works out better next time. We love technology but it sure can be a pain in the ass at times.
Oh lee I’m sorry! Technology can suck A** sometimes! Hopefully you can give it another go and all will work out well!
Hi Lee,
I’m so sorry for you that it didn’t work out the way you planed it. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you can reshedule and that the technic will be ‘on your side’ then.
I liked your performance though and will surely tune in more often in the future.
Have a nice weekend.
HUGS!!! It’s ok technology fails us from time to time.

I hope Adam reschedules because I think he is great! SOrry about the problems but you know technology, it’s great when it works but sometimes it doesn’t. ((hugs))
Oh I am so sorry Lee. That really sucks!
Maybe start a petition to send to Adam to get him back on.
Thank you so much to everyone who commented. Your support goes a long way and I’m so lucky to have all of you. I don’t think we need to worry about Adam “bowing out” on us. He’ll probably be happy to reschedule and when he is he’ll get in contact with me.
Oh and boys, thanks.
Lee
Hugs! So sorry technology was not on your side last night.
hope he rescheduals with you. I went to bed way early with a migrain that is still lingering. So hopeing he does so we can sit in
Oh hon! I am so sorry!!! Big hugs to you! Bless your heart, next time I hope it will go smoothly!
Girl your tits were sweet last night. Baldwins a lucky bastard getting to see them big on full screen. We had to suffer with the small screen version. Come back and see us sometime on Stickam feature page, I click your box anytime.
D1Jj
Sorry it didn’t work out hun! Better luck next time! ((hugs))
I hate that happened, Lee. Crossing my fingers that the next time will go much smoother.
I’m sorry it was such a rough night Lee. But the little we did get to see was fun and we enjoyed being in the chat. ((hugs))
It wasn’t as bad as you think it was. Alright well it was pretty bad but you looked great. Even Adam said you were gorgeous. I think more than once actually. We’ll see if he is as stand up as you say he is whether or not he reschedules or drops off the planet. I’m looking forward to it. He is a handsome guy.
Stacy
So sorry about how the night turned out Lee! I’ll definitely be there when you reschedule, and don’t worry too much…you deserve to give yourself some slack!
Adam is a stand up guy. He’ll reschedule. I actually went back and watched the show last night. It was WORSE than I thought. UGH.
Let me say one more time, Adam was amazing about the entire thing. He has 4 autographed prizes to give out. We’ll figure something out. He’ll call or email me or Skype me in my jammies, no worries.
Lee
Oh man! I was posting a screen capture of Adam when I remembered your show was supposed to broadcast! Yikes! I missed it and hurried to see if there was an mp3 file.
Sorry it was a bust, sounds like there were gremlins afoot! I hope you get to reschedule.
Good luck!
Ouch..sorry it all went down that way, but I’m sure Adam will reschedule and next time it will go down beautifully. Sometimes these things happen.
Like everyone else is saying “Sometimes technology is our bitch, and sometimes we’re its bitch”. Just the way it goes, everyone including Adam seem to take it in stride, It was nice to see him for the short time that we could. LOL, although I couldn’t understand why he didn’t want anyone to see he was drinking red wine. Good luck with the next run, keep us posted.
Do we know when the reschedule is set for? I want a shot at the prizes. Please keep us updated. You and Adam both looked great that night.
Barbara
Yes I want to win those prizes. Please Adam reschedule. What little we saw was great. What was it he said, “There are no promises at Comicon” or something like that. Hi Larious.
I tuned in from the UK (2am!) and thoroughly enjoyed what I saw. Sorry the technology sucked but that’s life! I thought you were grace under pressure, and Adam was sweet and patient, bless him. I’ll keep an eye out for a reschedule and will be there. Take care.
Did Adam Skype you in your jammies yet? What did you two decide? I’m ready for the reschedule already and its only been 2 days! Let us know.
Erika ;P
I love Adam Baldwin. He is truly one of the nicest actors I have ever had the pleasure to meet. 3 times. I can’t wait to see your next interview. As a mom myself I am bookmarking your blog because it is great. Love your post about family above. You have 3 gorgeous boys.
Don’t worry everyone, Adam will reschedule. He is all kinds of nice like that. And he seems to be quite taken with Lee.
Grace
I thought that both you and Adam handled the tech difficulties with tremendous grace! I look forward to the next show!
