The theme of this week's Monday in Twitter-Wood seems to be shouting out other celebrities. Whether they're trying to raise arts awareness, hiking mountain ranges or offending Glenn Close, everyone is talking about everyone else today. Kevin Spacey and Stephen Fry, Fran Drescher and Michael Ian Black. A diverse mix, to say the least.
Whatever everyone is tweeting to and about one another, today's Twitter-Wood feed comes packed with distinct examples of the best and most menial uses that Twitter has to offer. And that's okay. Some folks are using it to raise money and awareness for the Old Vic Theatre in London. Others just want to express their love for clowns and unicorns -- not that there's anything wrong with that. Still others are sharing their tips for street vendor deals in Manhattan. I'm Brian Warmoth, and here is Twitter-Wood for Monday, June 8, 2009.
@GhostPanther Has anyone seen these venders in NYC near central park that sell live monkees and knives? They're everywhere.

@KevinSpacey @stephenfry And you gave excellent remarks during the Q & A. Thanks for speaking so eloquently about arts funding. I think we did good!

@michaelianblack True story: I once asked Glenn Close if I could "tap that ass." Thankfully, she was not familiar with the expression.

@diablocody And yes, I'm concerned about Bret Michaels' fractured nose. An acute sense of smell is essential to his dating process.
