Something interesting
Jimmy asked for something interesting, so here you go: I have something interesting to report!!! There must be something going on for "Spamalot: The Las Vegas Spectacular" (a very good show, btw) this weekend or last weekend because several Monty Python people have come to see "Love" lately. John Cleese was there, but he had dinner reservations and did not come back stage. Eric Idle came backstage. Anna (a girl I work with) and I were heading on our break after taking the group photo with Eric Idle. As we were leaving the theatre to walk through the "backstage" area of the casino we noticed that Eric's group was right behind us. The artistic director for the show introduced us as a couple of people who run the show (we're both rather new, I'm sure he had no clue what we do, but we were both wearing black, so that means we work backstage on something). Anna and I hung back to let the group pass and Eric hung back a little to walk with us. We passed the snazzy dealer's lounge and Anna explained that it is so nice because they are union. Eric said that they might have the nice lounge, but that we were cooler because we work in show business. Yea! Eric Idle thinks I'm cool!!!
But wait, there's more! Terry Gilliam came to the show a couple of nights ago. I was finishing up laundry so I was late getting in there, but Anna and I went anyway to see what was going on. We got in there just as he was starting to leave. As he walked past us he put his hand on my shoulder and said "ah, here are the people who really make the show." Yea for techies!
