I don't think James or D'arcy have the insentive to work with him again. Well I know James doesn't. He's doing fine on his own.

Last I heard it was him and Jimmy and two stooges off the street. How is that any different than Zwan?

But uh, yeah, I went through that phase too. I got a chance to meet him briefly but I'm pretty sure he regarded me for what I was, some 15 year old fangirl telling him how much I can relate to his internal pain. That kind of crap had to wound his ego.

On that note, I saw Tom Waits live three times in a row recently and still didn't get to meet him. Not like he wouldn't just chuckle at me and move onto the next guy if I did. I'm still hoping. My mom was also a pretty big Ska nut when I was a tyke, so as a result I have a picture of myself with the lead singer of Rancid when he was back in Operation Ivy. I think I was fourish.

Last weekend I met Crispin Freeman at AnimeUSA. *fangirls* That really cut down the items on my "Things to do before I die" list. That was totally fun, esp. since I was dressed as the Rose Bride. He did a Touga impression just for me == SQUEEEE! In return, I this Anthy gave him a rose and a hug. X3 I've also met Richard Cox and on the Japanese side of things, Hyde of L'Arc~en~Ciel (though it wasn't really a meeting. We happened to pass each other in the dealer's room of Otakon 2004 before we were both bum rushed by fangirls, lol)

On day, I want to me Yoko Kanno, Atsuko Nakajima, Chiho Saito and randomly.... Christopher Walken! X3

This Tuesday, I attended a night with Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Prize Laureate. He's getting knighted on the 28th in Great Britain. For the first good fifteen minutes while he was speaking, I wept. While I was listening, I felt something be touched, something sore and weary inside me. For that, for his words and for that brief instance of sharing his wisdom, I am moved. It will be one of the nights I remember for the rest of my life.

I either suck for knowing who that is (did take a second), or you win for having the opportunity to hear him speak. It sounds like it was an incredible experience for you. Ohhh, I'm jealous.

I do too. I'd be more surprised if people didn't know who Elie Wiesel was.

Prepared to be surprised then as I have NEVER even heard the name Elie Wiesel let alone who he is.

I was there! I sat in the row right behind you. Thanks for asking for the Touga line. That was so awesome that he did the entire chick speech. I wouldn't have thought to ask! I spoke with him the next day and he signed two Utena art books for me. One of the pictures was the scene right after Utena beats Saionji the first time so Crispin Freeman did the Touga line for me, "Ooh, baby, you lit the fire in my heart" and he wrote it above his signature also. <sigh>

I've never met any celebrity I liked

Well I did run into Pat Riley at a car show once...I hate sports but he had white hair and a gorgeous suit.

I suck at this. I guess gorgeous actors and the like just don't come to Homestead often. (Last year Tony Bourdain was at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival and I swear I considered going but decided I didn't need charges of attempted rape on my record.)

((woot! I'm back! I doubt any o' y'all noticed!))

You passed up meeting the great Bourdain????

HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING???

He is a genius.  I love Kitchen Confidential.
