My worship of a Watcher.. graphics intensive
So, a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...
I have loved Anthony Stewart head for almost 10 years now. He's Giles. He was Oliver. He was the Taster's Choice coffee. C'mon, how could you not love that.
Well, in 1998, I got to meet him. ASH was Grand Marshal for AIDSWALK '98: The Hartford Halloween Parade to Benefit AIDS Project Hartford, October 25, 1998, Hartford, Connecticut. After the parade, ASH joined some of his fans for tea at Reader's Feast, in Hartford. The day before the parade, he made an appearance at Borders Bookstore in Farmington. ASH was Grand Marshal for AIDSWALK '98 I was in his fan club at the time, and since I figured this was as close to NY as he'd probably ever get, hell yeah, I was going. It was a great time. I got to hang out with some great people. Fast forward 8 years..........

So, I'm in London, right? And I find out that Richard E. Grant has a new show here, a play, entitled Otherwise Engaged. And gee, who is also in it but... Anthony Stewart Head.
It's not just the two of them, it has an amazing cast, but I was in it for the Tony. So, a friend and I went to see the play. The play was amazing. It was a comedy, dark, sarcastic, very witty, and I laughed a lot. I loved the show, go see it if you can.
When the show was over, Paul (my friend) and I ran around to the theater stage door to catch Tony as he came out. Me, I was prepared. I brought my pictures from Hartford with me. I brought them here, on the off chance that something like this might happen, I mean I am in England, but I never dreamed it would happen! He came out, and he was signing autographs and very pleasant. He made to grab for my playbill and was asking 'Who do I make this out to?' I, politely, informed him I would rather him autograph something else, please. I asked him if he remembered Hartford and I pulled out an 8 x 10 of him and I from then. He did! He remembered all of our costumes, he remembed the fanclub tea after the walk, all of it! Squee.
He autographed my picture, and my playbill, and posed for another picture. He even flipped through my photo album. I had it in my purse, I wasn't going to pull it out, by my friend, Paul, insisted I show it to him. Oh, he was so cute.
And, hehe. He looked at the two pictures and told me never to curl my hair again, because I look younger now with straight hair. It was so funny. He asked me what was I doing to stay so young? I think it was the hair?
We did get to meet Richard E. Grant too, but... he wasn't as friendly. He was the first to come out and was in a rush to get home. Ok, bad choice of words. He was friendly, he signed and smiled and everything, but... Tony stayed to talk, Richard didn't. Then again, I'm biased too. ;)
Ah, happy days.
