God's Love We Deliver's 10,000,000th Meal with Joan Rivers


God's Love we deliver celebrated the delivery of their 10 millionth meal yesterday. Joan Rivers was the guest of honor after her Celebrity Apprentice win. She raised over $500,000 from the show. At the event John Dempsey and Blaine Trump presented Joan with a check for $250,000 from the MAC aids fund.

Upon getting the check Joan said that she was going to change her name to God's Love We Deliver and skip town.

Here are Joan and Blaine sharing a moment in front of the step and repeat.


Many people came out to witness the occasion including Anna Wintour, a long time supporter of Gods Love.


The group went downstairs to the kitchen to pack the 10,000,000th meal.


Here is Joan putting a giant pork chop into a meal.


Joan and founder of God's Love Ganga Stone pose in front of the kuchunga, the device used to seal food containers that has been renamed by the volunteers for the sound it makes when it slams the base and lid together.



Here is Joan about to kuchunga the 10,000,000th meal. Blaine Trump is hugging an emotional Ganga Stone.


Joan Poses with Karen Pearl the CEO of God's Love with the 10,000,000th meal.


Joan took interviews throughout the day, including while delivering the meal to a nearby client.


My favorite moment of the day was in the stairwell of the clients building. Someone asked Joan who made her sunglasses.

"ME" she replied "Always wear yourself."

After the delivery Joan posed with Roz a volunteer who has been with the organization since 1991.

Herding Cats

I was in a meeting today and someone said "it's like herding cats."

I had never heard that expression before and I nearly fell out of my chair.

I was looking for an image of cat herding to send to the person who said it and stumbled on this video.

Enjoy.

I was looking for an old Deee-Lite track to post on here, but couldn't find it.

I did however stumble across this little gem.

Aretha Franklin - Never Loved a Man

I woke up with this song in my head.

Francis and the Lights

I stumbled across this clip a while back and I am still mesmerized. It is simple and effective. The fact that the guy in it is kinda crazy helps. I love when he runs into the frame from the left and then right back out on the right.

You might need to watch this a couple of times, or you might hate it and be done after the first time.

The Great Muppet Caper

This weekend I went out with some friends and had a great night.

First we went to Shabu Tatsu for shabu shabu. Then to Momofuku Milk Bar for Atomic Fire Ball soft server.

We ended the evening at a midnight screening of "The Great Muppet Caper" at Sunshine Landmark Cinemas.

It was packed with people that wanted to see Kermit, Ms. Piggy, and the baseball diamond.

I was looking for a clip of the scene where they are all riding bikes in the park. It is amazing cause it is tons of wide shots where you can't figure out how they did it.

I was unable to find that clip, but stumbled across this one instead. It is the audio from the Oceans 11 trailer cut to images from Muppet Caper.
