(no subject)
Months ago I posted an entry about what I assumed would happen if I ever met Michael Ian Black. It involved quoting him to his face, and pooping in my sweatpants. Tonight, this entry is about what actually happened when I met Michael Ian Black. When I met Michael Ian Black. I met Michael Ian Black.
MIB: Hi!
Anna: Hi.
MIB: How are you?
Anna: Great. Did you have fun? (note: what the fuck kind of question is that?)
MIB: Yes I did. Did you?
Anna: Yes!
MIB: Great! That's what's important. That's what's important.
Michael Showalter: (handing my DVD to Black after signing it himself) Mikey? Here's one for ya.
MIB: (signs it and looks around for who it belongs to) Is this...?
Anna: Oh that's mine. Thanks.
MIB: Thanks for comin'!
Moving on, equally exciting and equally embarrassing, I am also including what happened when I met Michael Showalter.
Anna: (stares and Sho interacting with other people and somewhat with my friends)
Sho: (interacts with other people, maybe gives me an expectant look before moving on to someone who can actually talk)
Anna: (stares at Sho some more)
Sho: (moves more and more into the growing crowd, slowly away from me)
Anna: (can't stop staring at Sho)
Sho: (gets back toward our area)
Anna: (really! just can't stop staring at Showalter!)
Sho: (gets called over to start signing DVDs)
Anna: (waits for the most inconvenient time to say something and forcfully puts hand into Mike's hand) Hi. Great show. (note: what the fuck kind of fuck is that?)
Sho: Thank you!
Anti-climactic? Maybe for you. But I guarantee you, there certainly was a climax. (meaning I came all over the place, of course, in case you didn't catch on) But for you, I will include the conversation that Black had with the guy in front of me, because it was much more interesting, and I like to pretend it's my story.
Guy: I really enjoyed the show.
MIB: That's great!
Guy: I thought your Korean joke was hilarious.
MIB: Thank you.
Guy: I'm Korean, you know, actually.
MIB: And that's great! See? If you want to be Korean, go for it. But not on my time, not on my time.
Expect a full recount of the show soon. Maybe in an hour, maybe in a week, maybe I'll never get around to it. Anyway, expect one.
