sorta famous people i (you) have seen in passing

i never see any sorta famous people. not counting front page newsmakers, of course.

today, however, i became a pseudo-star at work when it was revealed that miss dina martina is a friend of mine.

i just turned down an interview request from kiro 7 news

almost sorta famous!

what did they want you to talk about?

me, my life story

IRL LOL!

snow, of course, and how it is affecting arts organizations. my big boss was at my shoulder (no nametag, so she didn't ask him) and i turned to him after i said no and made sure it was ok i said no. "they always go for the negative angle on these stories, i would have said no too." nice vindication.

a world in which the news people care about snow affecting arts organizations is like heaven to me! i just can't believe they care! i mean, i love it! but wow!

that man is going to try to adopt you one of these days xp

i was in a meeting today with a really interesting woman: "...when Balanchine taught me the lead in Rubies...when I went to Elizabeth Taylor's house...during the occupation, when we were at the academy with no food, still studying ballet...when we taught Gene Kelley...when i receive the Legion of Honor in summer...." Not name-dropping at all, it was more of an interview, an accomplished lady that's lived this amazing life. really cool way to start the day.
