Tonight, instead of working in my regular restraunt, I worked downstairs on the court level of the palace. It was cool, because you can hear everything live.
But, I guess they needed a coat checker, and I guess I was the one to fill in.
I have never loved snobby rich people so much in my life. I walked away with $102 in tips. Pretty freaking amazing.
I didn't even mind how boring the job was, because they money made up for it.
I mean, how pays a person $10 for handing them their coat? Really now. Someone who has nice enough shoes to have covers for them so they don't get dirty while walking outside, I suppose.
I also enjoyed tonight because I kept seeing Bon Jovi. He is in town for a concert tomorrow, and so I guess he got hooked up with a good deal from the palace, and came to the game. He rented TWO sweets in the place I was coat checking, because he needed more than one. So he would walk by to get to his courtside seats every once in a while. I guessed he passed me at least 4 or 5 times.
At times, I was close enough to poke him. Not that I would, I probably would have had my finger snapped off by his security guards.
For someone who is as old as he is, he is really good looking. Even in person. Most times, stars don't look nearly as good in person as they do in their videos, but he was REALLY just that good looking.
And you want to know the only thing that went through my head when he would pass. I wonder if he wants to check his coat. :D
I would have gotten an autograph, but it is against Palace policy. You can get fired for treating a famous person as anything other than a normal customer. So no picture...no autograph...just good memories.
But, I might be in some kind of live tour video. There were cameras following him around everywhere, and I guess they were filming some backstage stuff. They kept passing me, and the camera would pass over me. So if anyone really loves Bon Jovi, and he comes out with a live DVD, look for me. I will be the girl standing in the coat check room all alone giving a peace sign.
