Attn. Ladies: Harry Jay Katz Will Not — Repeat, NOT — Help You Get Over Rodrigo
Oh no! WORLDS COLLIDING! Remember when we told you about that girl who was trying to hug 100 people in a weekend and do other fun, life-affirming things in order to get over that Brazilian dude? Well, since we last checked in, she’s run into another, er, fun, life-affirming thing: Legendary Philly rake Harry Jay Katz, who responded to her 100 Hugs ad on Craigslist and… well, chaos ensued. What followed next has got to be a familiar enough occurrence for the Harry Jay Katz in all of us: After playing footsie on Craiglist for a bit, our heroine (quite naturally) got a little freaked out, slanders were slandered and libels were libeled and before you know it, according to her blog, she went to the police station because she just didn’t know what else to do! Oh, dear. That’s something, and I guess it would put a young lady’s mind on something other than Rodrigo, but, oh I don’t know, why does it all have to be so difficult!

This hugger woman is so full of it.
I was with Harry during all of the back and forth email stuff.
I actually live with him.
The woman seemed perfect for a very legit TV project that he has been working on for quite some time.
Her resume was terrific and quite appropriate for Harry’s needs.
WE, not HARRY, invited her with a companion (her girl friend) to come to our house for a home cooked meal and see the presentation (he didn’t want to email it because it’s not yet trademarked and we needed the HUGGER to sign a confidential disclosure waiver).
She was reluctant so we offered to meet her at an area restaurant (Johnny Mananas, in East Falls). She agreed and we went there with one of my girl friends. We waited over 2 hours and called her many times. Needless to say, she never showed up.
Did Harry get angry? You bet. Wouldn’t anyone?
Because Harry is so high profile, everyone loves to take shots at him. From PHILEBRITY to the Daily News, The Inquirer, the weeklies, and Philly Mag.
Is he occasionally goofy? Sure ! But he’s so bright and is a sucker for a low punch.
The HUGGER was stupid to not meet. It was a golden opportunity for her and she blew it.
Life does go on but this debacle was certainly not worth a trip to the police station. I guess it did give the HUGGER some additional fodder to fill her boring existence.
Enough is enough. As Harry says, “Vat vas, vas”.
And, we have each and every incoming and outgoing email to prove his innocence.
How stupid is this chick?

Do you think that he is the dude who sends out really long erotic rhyming poetry as a reply whenever people (ladies) write anything on CL, whether in the personals or elsewhere? Every time I’ve ever posted anything to CL, someone always writes back epic rhyming erotic poetry. I’ve always wondered who that is, and how he has so much time on his hands.
