ROAD TRIP!!!
Ok, so I mentioned that I was driving down to California this past weekend to attend the ADB showing in San Jose with Michelle and her sister. Well, it was a GREAT trip and the movie was hilarious!! I think I laughed nearly constantly from beginning to end. In addition, David and Jane were there!! They did a short Q&A after the movie and then we had to clear the theater for the next movie to be shown. (ADB was part of a film festival going on down there.)
David and Jane graciously greeted people out in the lobby area of the theater afterwards and thankfully there wasn't a really long line. David signed autographs and did photos, so we waited patiently for our turn. Michelle kindly used her camera to take pics of all of us with David - first a shot with her and her sis with David, then I joined the group.
For me, the funnest (is that a word?) surprise was that David recognized ME!! LOL!! He has a MySpace (is that a noun?) and I had sent him several messages there telling him I was driving 600 miles to come see his movie! ;-) My messages had my photo (see above) so when he saw me he was like, "Oh, Hi! You made it!" Then he asked me how the roads were and how the drive down was - frankly, it took me a few seconds to realize...omigosh, he actually READ my messages!!! :-D He was so sweet. And when Michelle asked if I wanted a pic with just David and me, he kindly agreed to stay just one more minute, even though they were trying to leave to go to dinner with a friend. (I'll share the pic once Michelle sends it to me!)
I'm sooooo glad I made the crazy drive down for the weekend (and grateful to Michelle for hosting me) - we had a great time and it was such fun to have the opportunity to meet David. What a great way to really begin the windup for the Vancouver convention - only 16 days from now!!!
But for now...off to get ready for work.
