Embarassing Encounters! — Page 2

"i...i...i..uhhhhh.....ummm"

Why that's what I do best!

That's a pretty well-used line for me as well. Fantastic conversationalists we all are.

Or we could help teach the language to immigrants that don't speak any english. They'll go out in the world, all proud that they finally learned how to speak a language made up of "i...i...i....ummmmm, uh...."s.

Haha a funny little anecdote.
I went to go see the Senior Showcase of the University of Michigan's Musical Theatre dep't.
And after I was talking to the chair of the dep't and because I would be an incoming freshman next he wanted to personally introduce my mother and I to some of the seniors.
So he walks us over to the young lady who had just recently played Mary Magdalene in their production of "Jesus Christ Superstar"...
Chair: And this is senior Michelle *****....
My Mother: (screaming, thinking she is funny) MARY!!!

Haha...I laughed...but so did "Mary"

I dunno!

I guess you had to be there and know my mom, but just the fact she was introduced as Michelle and my mother then screams "MARY!!!" in her face...


oh mommy!

My mom embarassed herself in front of Eden too. She has that effect on people, makes them act dumb. So mom said to Eden she had jellybeans, and Eden's like "What?" And mom goes "I got jellybeans, pink and green ones." And Eden gets it, because before she didn't, so she goes "Ohh... thank you." So mom's looking through her bag, and I'm laughing to myself because my mom was being silly, then she finds them and Eden thanks her again, but next time I saw Eden and mentioned my mom, she went "oh yeah, the one that gave me jellybeans." So I guess stupid and wierd is memorable after all.

Well, it's not really embarassing but....when i went to the LSOH stage door, i had no idea what to say to people. So i was kind of rambling about how talented they are and what ive seen them in (ie kerry butler and douglas sills). And the things that i did remember saying make no sense to me now. Like i remember saying "you were really talented tonight" oh my god, i could have said something that made sense. they probably thought i was a loser. haha Ususally when i go to the stage doors, i am soo in the moment i forget to say things i wanted to say. Like when i met john tartaglia, i could have said more than "you are really talented and congrats on the avenue q tonys." I wanted to say something about his "on the board" interview or something else that could have expressed what a fan i was! oh well...hopefully ill get better at this kind of stuff.

My mother went up to (Shrek's) John Lithgow after a performance of Sweet Smell of Success and said "Mr. Lithgow, I absolutely MUST ask you....do you know the Muffin Man?"

My father, additionally, asked Dan Aykroyd if the word "Bass-O-Matic" meant anything to him. He also asked Russ Tamblyn, who was sitting near George Chakiris at a sci fi convention, if he and George were going to have a knife fight later on in the day.

That's awesome

We most certainly should be honoured! And the actors flattered! What love we demonstrate!

Oh I will def not kill you luv for sharing my petting but yes Raul Esparza pet me hahah! I have to say that it was probobly one of the best experiences of my life lol! nah but seriously what luv didn't mention was that we were petting him as well a few minutes before that lol. At Broadway under the stars he was wearing this really nice suade jacket(why I have no idea because it was like 8 billion degrees) but after we talked to him and I told him I was sorry about the tony awards and all we were posing for a picture with him. During this posing me and Luv were most definitely just standing there grinning like mad and petting his jacket lol!! We just couldn't help ourselves hehe!

Haha ok random I know but also I think luvtheEmcee failed to mention another one of her funny stagedoor moments...one I'd like to refer to as the "wow" conversation. lol It was really the only word she could say when we were meeting Patrick Wilson. She really has improved but seeing someone as intelligent and talkative reduced to a single syllable was amusing...oh Luv you know I love you!! PW was obviously amused by it as well lol!!

Sammy I can't tell you how amused I was at ur post about Raul and his unfortunate situation LOL! I can't believe he said that to you! I would have died lol!Poor Raul though...I would feel so awful if I was the cast member who inflicted that pain on such a beautiful man!

that was not my intention...well not entirely lol!! I you!! lol

I went to meet people after a show last week. One of the people I wanted to mee was Lewis Black. So, I walk up to him, and started chatting it up, if you will. Then, my friend (who I hadn't come with but was there) walks up to him and goes, "Do you really hate Williamstown? I was really offendid by some of the stuff you said in your routine!" See, Mr. Black had made fun of Williamstown a lot in his act - but it was all in good fun. I was so embarassed, I walked away.
