I have a pretty decently developed case of CRS* It has gotten to the point that prett' near any time I agree to something I request a follow up e-mail because the chances that I will remember whatever it is all the way to my car are remote. Or even to the other side of the room. Sometimes I forget by the time I hang up the phone.
I was explaining this to someone the other day and said that one day someone will ask me the Important Question and my answer will be, "Oh, darling, you've made me so happy! Yes, of course, I'll marry you. And I'll love you forever. But do me a favor? E-mail me and remind me?"

And this is why, especially when I'm doing a show, I ALWAYS ask someone to call/e-mail and remind me that I promised to do X or lend them Y or bring Z. Even if they don't remind me, the mere fact of requesting the reminder helps me remember.

I've been meaning to remind you about us, but I keep forgetting.
