My freelance friend Betsy (No, she’s not on contract to be my friend, she just does freelance writing) needs your help!

“I’m working this month as a consultant for the USA Network, researching local ‘characters’ from around the country–finding them more like–among the station’s 66 city markets and beyond.  Do you know of an interesting character in your town or another city you’ve lived in or visited?  A name’s ideal…but just a vague detail or two would help me lots.  I hope to locate 100-200 eccentric characters by Jan 30th.

A character is anybody who’s interesting/unusual in appearance or hobby or career…  No rules here!  I’d love to know who’s interesting to you. In San Antonio, there’s an old guy who runs a toilet-seat cover museum–he paints scenes from history on these covers, hangs them in his big garage.  In L.A., you’ve got Angelynne the 60-year-old surgically-enhanced bombshell who drives her pink convertible Corvette in low-cut dresses.  No druggies or alcoholics, please…but all clean special types welcome.
