Today I had the wonderful privilege of meeting Julianne Hough, Kenny Wormald, and Craig Brewer. I thought I’d be some ridiculously crazy school girl, but the setting was small and they sat at a table with us. First we saw Julianne & Kenny. They were so down to earth and easy to chat with.
Next was Craig. I have to share a wee little story. I was on Twitter last week after I came home from the preview of Footloose. I can’t share the review until it comes out Oct 14 and was just bursting at the seams on Twitter. Well, this guy, @MyBrewTube makes a few comments to me. I chat with him, but I’m pretty cynical. He says he directed it. Ya, and I’m the Queen of Sheba. So I figure I’ll find out that it wasn’t him at this meeting.
While I’m waiting with the other people there, I tweet out we’re waiting to see the actors and then add in (amusingly) that I have to go to the bathroom.
In comes Craig. Don’t exactly recognize him in comparison to the Twitter avatar. He looked at me like he recognized me, but it was just a flicker of a moment. They introduced all the way around and he kind of said my name at the same time as our PR gal, Kelli. I just glanced at him.
My first question before we’re all seated is, “Are you on Twitter?”
Him, “Yes.”
Me, “So that was you I was talking to the other day?”
Him, “Yes, do you still have to go to the bathroom?”
I nearly died and the guy who was sitting next to me says incredulously, “you tweeted that?” Oh ya I sure did. I was being silly.
As we were all heading out to collect our vehicles, there was Kenny in the lobby of the hotel. My first thought was, photo op! I asked and he agreed. Such a nice guy.
Almost didn’t recognize him with his hat turned around. Julianne when she left the hotel never in a gazillion years would I have realized it was her.
As a side note, I had a total “fan” moment when Kenny agreed to take photos with us. You won’t see it, but I came unglued on the inside and ladies…he smelled great. LOL Just something I noticed. (insert school girl giggle)
So, now that I’ve purged all of that, make sure you visit these Wordless Wednesday participants, too:
