I was in a reality TV show once. It was for a show airing on a public access channel hosted by local Hawaii comedian Augie Tulba (aka Augie T.) who now holds a political position in Honolulu. I thought it could help me launch my career as an author. I didn't get super famous, but it sure didn't hurt. I got to know Augie, I got to promote two of my books on his radio program at the time, then later also promote a YouTube dramatic series that I was in. I also ghost wrote and did the foreword for his book, Positive Stuff I Like by Augie Tulba.
To give you an idea of how small a world it is, years later I was working in an office job in Honolulu and our new IT guy was talking about how he met an old guy named Mel Cabang that weekend. I got on my computer and pulled up a video of Mel Cabang singing the jingle on his Ukulele for "HI Alarm" a security company.
I told him, "Here, this is Mel Cabang."
He said, "Oh, yeah, that was him."
"And that is me on the beach in that group of guys wearing HI Alarm shirts dancing behind him to the music."
Mel was also a famous local comedian, friends with Augie and appeared on the reality show so I got to know him, too before he died.
Um... none of this has anything to do with super heroines. I just fell down a Reality TV Rabbit Hole. Also, doing some name dropping.
Ever tell you about the time I met Gary Gygax's grandson?
