"Like... OMG he touched my HAND..."

Mooki sat on my lap...

Just sayin'

I think you got the much better deal. LOL (and I don't even know of this band(?) that you're talking about.) I've never been one to care what someone's profession is.. I enjoy Nicolas Cage's acting and Brent Smith's singing, I really couldn't care less about their personal lives. I enjoy Zen's artistry and engineering on a MUCH more frequent basis.. but it would be absurd for me to go all groupy about him, wouldn't it? I don't know why people get so infatuated with "celebrities" and people think it's normal and cool.. if I sent love letters to the engineers at Logitech people would think I'm nuts.. but their professional work has a 10k times larger impact on my life than any actor or musician.

i always had fun meeting celebrities. i enjoyed blowing their minds by treating them like normal people. i got so many "thank you" comments for doing so. of course, when i met Johnny Rotten, i hardly spoke. sometimes, it's hard to treat someone like "normal".

I think "everyone else" is Mookie and Karen, right? C'mon Mookie - you know you want some sticky lips! LOL

Sounds great to me. I'll meet ya there - LOL! Always a day late and a dollar short....

That would be the one, yes...and it's within staggering distance of my apartment...woohoo!

I forgot to tell you that you are on Lovely Heather's sh-list for standing us both up last night!!!

It was nice meeting up with you all ... fun and it was nice meeting you Mookie . That was way cool of you Fisty to loan out your new Z atty to Mookie !!!

It was great meeting you and Parisila too! Thanks for the invite to share a room at Vapecon.

And Fisty is THE WOMAN!!!

Mooki is clearly on the naughty list.
The naughty list was created because of Mookie! :evil:

I never understood how people go all ga-ga over celebs. Writing and stalking them and such. But if Johnny Depp showed up at my door......well 'nuff said!!!

My fave was seeing Rachael Welch and Adam Ant together in CA. That was such a strange pair! My husband and BIL were freaking out when she went to the bathroom and kept bugging me to go in there with her. Finally I tried but it was a one room restroom so I couldn't get in. My husband wanted to be able to say my wife "touched" Rachael Welch. Weird.........

Do you guys have rooms at the Clarion? Karen and I both had to book at the Comfort Inn. I'm thinking of going as long as there are people I know going.

Oh.....I read that wrong. You have room not "rooms"! I'm assuming that means I could hitch a ride? I was thinking of driving up Thursday so I don't have to rush. What are your plans guys? Any of you gals coming too??? We can always talk about it Saturday also.

What days did you book your room for ? I might come down a day early if your there already. No matter what tho, I'm flying down and driving back with Mike.

I booked for the 11th - 15th. Will probably leave the 14th but I might stay and do some area shopping on Sunday. Then drive home Sunday evening or Monday morning. I was just there are couple weeks ago and there are some nice boutique shopping areas. I'm a bit of a shopaholic but will probably spend enough at the convention as is. I don't need to rush and like to keep my options open. When is Mike driving back?

Thank you for treating me like a "normal" person. Celebrity can be tiring at times.
