Besides the hand-picked and trained groupies?  
A personal barista for my Latte needs before the show, and ample supplies of [Milkis](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkis) for after it.

I want two chefs each of various cooking styles. I expect daily visits by two masseurs, and weekly visits by two hairstylists and two pedicurists. One of the pair will attend me, and the other, my dog.

I must be permitted to drive MYSELF to and from all functions in either a Mercedes [SLK350 Roadster](http://www.mbusa.com/brand/models/SLK350.jsp) or a Mercedes [SL65 AMG](http://www.mbusa.com/brand/models/SL65.jsp). I do not like most other people’s driving, and I don’t want to have to put up with it. If need be, I’ll drive myself within a block of the function, get into a limo and then be dropped off on the red carpet.

Bathroom humor (ESPECIALLY fart jokes), Monty Python and the Holy Grail quotes, overused Simpsons quotes, and overused men and woman are different jokes will not be tolerated in my presence.

Yelling or loud, obnoxious talking is not allowed within 100 feet of me. People must speak in a calm, pleasant tone when in my presence.

I require a closed-off, sound-proof dressing room with its own bathroom and a comfortable couch or bed. There must also be a large bathtub with a variety of soaps, oils, and salts. And a bidet.

I require a bottle each of Paul Mitchell shampoo one, Paul Mitchell awapuhi shampoo, and Paul Mitchell: The detangler.

Bean burritos with NO cheese and NO onions.

ICE COLD Coca-cola classic.

I don’t know. Seems fairly reasonable to me.

**Alias** , you should check out the [Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren.](http://www.mbusa.com/brand/models/SLR.jsp) If you are going to drive yourself, you might as well go all the way.

I’d read the Snopes thing about Van Halen’s M&M provision before, and I think it’s a really, really good idea. An amazingly simple and effective means of ensuring that the venue has done its due diligence.

With that in mind, my dressing room must have the horn of a narwhal hanging on the wall.

> In addition to my regular dressing room, I want a room devoid of furniture except for a mahogany pedstal on which there must be an 8x10 gold-framed picture of Irene Ryan in a 1920’s bathing outfit. There should be a 300 watt yellow spotlight mounted on the ceiling shining down on the picture. On the floor in front of the pedestal should 150 Cheez-its in the form of an arrow pointing at the pedestal.

If I don’t get my Nessie steaks, boiled in chupacabra milk and served in plate made from kiln-baked moon mud, I walk.
