Oh my gosh--I totally snubbed CHRISTIAN SLATER!

Here's the story: After seeing Phantom, I was waiting by the stage door, for someone that I knew who was playing Raoul. I hadn't seen him in a while, and he didn't know we were there, so I was very excited. Anyway, I was there waiting in the alley between the magestic and a few other stage doors, and there were a whole bunch of people waiting, and this guy that "looked" like Christian slater started walking towards me, I guess to say hello (mind you, I think I was the only girl there, besides my mother, which may explain why he was actually approaching me). And I looked right at him---WALKED AWAY--and actually said "Hey mom, that guy looked just like Christian Slater." Then a minute later, I heard one of the other guys who was waiting yell "Oh my Gosh, I can't believe I just met Christian Slater." Apparantly, he was doing a play at one of the other theaters. And I just walked away from him--I felt SO stupid! On a higher note, I figure he at least might remember me, because I'm sure it's not too often that someone actually walks away from him when he's trying to be nice and give an autograph!

Wow--that took much longer to write than it does to say :)

well after seeing tick tick boom two summers ago, i had not been a huge theatre buff before seeing it, my friends saw that jonathan larson's parents were in the lobby. i went up and talked with them a little bit. we finalls left the SHUBERT and i asked, "So where was jonathan?" my friends all slapped me cause they thought that his parents had heard me. i felt so stupid, i know from now on not to ask if big theatre writers are there if theyre dead!

I am obviously a fan of Michael Arden. I have seen him a number of times at his different "gigs" around NYC. I don't think a time has gone by when I haven't said something stupid.

Michael: What are you guys drinking.
Me: Medori Sour and it tastes like a Urinecake

At Standing Ovations 2:
Me: Michael you did a great job....exchange a handshake and then step on his foot.

At his Feinstein's gig:
Michael: Did you enjoy the show?
Me: Yes it was great, do you have an Amex we can borrow to pay for the $275 bill?

It never ceases to amaze me (or my fellow partners in crime) the things that come out of my mouth. I don't understand it either, because I am not nervous around him...so embarrassing!

One of my bettter mishap sotires:

I ran into Kelsey Grammer and his wife once (about 8 years ago)...
They were walking down the street in NYC. I turned to my sister and said, "Hey look it's David Letterman!" Well, he stopped walking, turned around and smiled. Then it hit me, "Wait, you're not David Letterman...you're Frasier! Hey, congrats getting out of rehab!" He kindly smiled, shook his head in agreement and kept walking. I do not know WHY I said that. My sister and I fell down on the cement cracking up.
