Great news! After shamelessly baiting Blair Underwood to follow me on Twitter, my hopes and dreams were realized! Yes, at 2:46 PM this afternoon, I received this email:
Hi, B-Side Blog.
Blair Underwood (BlairUnderwood) is now following your updates on Twitter.
SUCCESS! Thanks for following, Blair. I promise it will be worth your while! You are already the coolest person I am currently associated with, and as such I plan to backdoor brag about this to many friends for the next four to six weeks.

Leave a comment. I IMPLORE YOU.
FYI - Sometimes after you leave a comment, it'll say there's an error, but just ignore it. The comment most likely is there. What does the website know anyway? IT'S A ROBOT.

WOW! Nice work, my friend.
Does this mean you have the powers to attract any celebrity? I think you should make this a weekly mission. Maybe you could try and get, Oh, I don't know...Richard Dawson, or Courtney Thorne Smith?
THAT IS AMAZING.
AWESOME. So technically, Blair Underwood is like 2 degrees of separation from me?
Wow, I was just thinking about your quest for a celebrity follower this afternoon. I think that officially makes me pathetic.
I think I'll start thinking about me getting a life instead.
Now you have real tweet cred.

You know I love you right? And you know that I know that you don't love me but I love you anyway because I have no shame and you're so cool right? But for some reason, I feel kinda bad for Blair Underwood right now.
wow-total awesome
And Blair U. seems like a really cool person-first Franklin Ave and now you...I wonder if he actually googles his name everyday to see what's being posted about him?
I guessed I'm knocked down to the #2 spot.
Welcome to B's world, Blair. Hope you have your seatbelt fastened and your tray table up. It's a fun ride.
OMG BSIDE!!! he #follow friday'd you today! you're famous!
B, I am honored to have witnessed this milestone in your career. I've never been more proud of you. Perhaps you should send handsome Blair Underwood your business card. Just a suggestion.
