I was recently invited to participate in Borough President Marty Markowitz's Lighten Up Brooklyn campaign. Imagining that some minor celebrity status might result from this act of public service - perhaps a few lines in the print campaign describing my inspirational fight against Doritos - I said sure. Sadly, there was room for only one star in the campaign, Soprano's actor and Brooklyn native, Joseph Gannascoli. Despite the presence of several reporters and photographers at the kick off event, these are the only photos of me that seem to have made the internets. I stood on stage in sweltering heat for this???? I'll be walking around Prospect Park at 10am this Sunday with Marty and other fat folks if anybody is interested.

You missed an opportunity to put some bunny ears over someone's head, preferably the guy in the Brooklyn jersey.
How does one get invited to appear in something like that? Was your weight loss one of the more impressive or was it just random?
she was even finer in person. she popped up towards the end of the event and got in the picture. don't know who she was.
i got invited to do this because a friend used to work for the borough president's office and was asked if he knew of anyone who might fit the profile of having lost weight in a healthy manner. when he told me about it I figured why not.
