I couldn't fall asleep last night and I'm pretty sure things will be the same tonight (and that coffee I had after the show may have something to do with that but man, was it good). So why not update LJ right away?
I'm so glad I got a ticket for tonight. It was a very spur-of-the-moment decision (made at 1 AM), but a really good one. I started squeeing even before I got to the theatre, as I was still on the bus I swear I saw Scott's truck driving in the opposite direction. I mean, it's a very peculiar truck. And when I arrived, his truck wasn't there, so it might as well be him.
Kacy was there, like yesterday, and Lauren German was in the audience too. I chatted with
bluedelft and
gyri (and the invisible sister ;)) before the show and during the intermission and I actually got to talk to Scott after the show! I didn't say much, but as he was signing authographs and
bluedelft said the trip had been worth it, I said my trip had been worth it too, so yes, I played the "I came ALL the way from Italy" card. And he was like "Oh, really?", looked right into my eyes and rubbed my arm. As he was walking away I added "I'll see you next week." He thanked me, smiled that sweet smile of his and rubbed my arm again. ASDFGHJKL
Then we went to say goodbye to Val Lauren, who was chatting with Lauren German, and everyone was saying how glad they were they had come from Boston or Maine and I said I was glad I had come from Italy. Lauren was all "Really? WOW" and Val seemed really impressed, he just looked at me with big eyes, said something like "That's hardcore" and gave me a high five. More ASDFGHJKL.
I had planned to take the bus to get back and, as it was still relatively early, we went to a café nearby to chat a bit (hopefully I didn't make a total fool of myself there). But I never got to take the bus because it just wouldn't come, so I just called a taxi. Who cares, I can spend a few more dollars, I'll start saving when I'm back home in September.
Man, this has been great so far, I'm really looking forward to the last show next week!
