July 10, 2007
Our recent visit to the Arizona State Prison Complex in Perryville was an eye opener, to say the least. It was both intense and nerve-racking. As I walked around that prison, I knew we were safe...but I wasn’t comfortable.
It’s difficult to be hopeful for the prisoners, simply because they’re in prison. I mean, I hope they get out someday, but for now they’re stuck there. I’m not sure what a lot of those people did to get there, but they’re serving their time, so...
At the end of the day, I felt kind of like ‘thank God'. I get to go out, go to a restaurant, go to bed, and do whatever it is I need to do. It led me to reflect on what’s important to me and to acknowledge what I’m most passionate about in life.

Team Griffin! Hi Jessica, Tom, and Tiffany.
I assume you will be traveling with Kathy when she takes her tour to San Antonio, TX. My husband and I can't wait for the show. We have to drive 2 and a half hours to get there. We are hoping to catch a glimpse of all of you with Kathy outside the theater when the show is over. Keep up the great work. I hope we get to know all three of you a little bit more on the upcoming D-List shows.
Take care.

Team Griffin,
I love you guys and all you do to promote Kathy, she's the best!
When will Kathy and Tom have that estranged moment when they realize they are perfect for each other! Tom, you're a heart breaker, great smile, well mannered(ok, sometimes) and appear to be self confident, which you would have to be to live and work with three strong women(Jes,Tif and Mags) with kathy as the dungeon master! wow!
Love Kathy and love you guys too!

Team Griffin:
Not only do I love Kathy, you all, and the show-I want to work with you! I'm in freelance film production right now, but I have a ridiculous amount of personal assistance experience as well. I've been working on boring industrial videos lately, and am dying to help out on a fun and creative project. So, if Team Griffin needs any help, you know who to contact!
Best of luck with everything...I'm sure Kathy won't be on the D-list for long!

It's a "Team Griffin" blog, yet it appears to be written in first person. Names for entries would help.
I just wanted to tell "Team Griffin" that I think Tom is extremely attractive. What a hottie! I have no idea how he keeps his patience, has a sense of humor and willing to do anything. What a GREAT guy!
Who cares if he eats over the sink and other things, according to Kathy. I usually "shine on" most guys. I would date Tom in a heartbeat. That cute, slightly embarassed, humble smile and running his hand through his hair, when he doesn't know what to say...totally sexy! He would get my best "come hither" looks. It would be so fun to flirt with him! I don't think he knows the power of his cuteness!
I've enjoyed Kathy for years, now she gives me a funny and humble, hot guy. Gotta love that.
YEA!!! Love Kathy, love Bravo.

First off, you're ARE the BEST. You're Emmy speech...loved it. Only you can tell a crowd to suck your d*ck!
My purpose for writing: My heart, mind and soul aches for the inmate Wendi Andriano. I had no idea who she was until watching the show. I researched her crime..and well, she shouldn't, in my opinion be living like she is. Do you know if there is a support group or anything else to support her and the quality of life she living (death row? that's crazy - how could someone put another being there?) I don't know what there is to do, but she's weighing on my mind and I feel it's not right to not try a way to help.

hello! my mom and I love your show! that says a lot because my mom is a little propper and doesn't mind the swearing.
do you need another assistant? let's face it, thom isn't taking care of the dogs, he is too busy as a tour manager. anyone would be lucky to work for you, a genuine person. i have a teaching degree, so I can take care of any kid interruptions on tour! can't wait to hear from you. love to your mom.

CAPTIONS: Earlier today I caught a portion of Episode 1 of this season when Kathy is talking to Whoopi in private about Carnegie Hall. I sometimes have the captions on, and I noticed an incorrect caption. (Another viewer mentioned a different captioning error.) When Kathy says "Poconos", the caption read "poke a nose"!!!???!!! No lie! Who is in charge of the captioning??? Bravo??? Not good.

Kathy and friends -
You make me laugh every week! My sister and I are 13 months apart, but so different. She laughs with me. I' m gay and apparently she had 3 kids, so she is not. When will you come to Rochester, NY. If not, where will you be close. My sister and I would lose our shit! I hope all is well with you, Kathy. Tom is sorta cute, but straight, right?

Alright, well I tried to find something funny or witty to say, but unfortunately I'm cursed with blond hair. It's one of those blessing or a curse type of things because while I can easily become a gold digger and sleep with tons of old men and get their money after they kick the bucket, I cannot think of anything other than cosmetics, cash, and California...and maybe the color pink.
Well anyway, enough of my rambling. Basically I just wanted to say that you guys rock. I'd say that Kathy should give you a nice bonus whenever she can but she's a celebrity and is catholic, so clearly charity isn't her thing.
Anywho, I came up with a probably stupid plan as it is from a blond for Kathy to get off the D list (and maybe onto the C list, at the very least she'll be on the D+ list). Celebs get a lot of attention whenever someone in their "inner circle" (for Kathy, that'd obviously be you guys) starts leaking stuff to the public. The plan would have you guys going to a reporter about something made up that'd get people's attention like Kathy's pregnant with Tom's baby, but also had a one night stand with her ex husband so is uncertain of who the father is. Kathy would come out and deny it but then the same person would go back to the reporter of some tabloid with photoshopped pictures of Kathy "showing". Anyway, then Kathy can have an "off the record...but not really off the record" interview with a tabloid and say she's thinking of firing whoever leaked the story and blah blah blah.
It's just an idea. Have fun with it, you guys have the best job in the world and I wish I could. Lucky bastards.
