Loved the meeting with Stevie Wonder and you being oblivious!

Date: 2008-11-25 07:52 pm (UTC)I was COMPLETELY oblivious, lolol (the shop we were in was one of the 'main' ones for certain brands of keyboards, I just never expected to meet someone there *headdesks* which however might explain the pleasant chat we had, totally unfannish, lololol)

(I did have a friend walk up to Tony Amendola, give him a love heart and ask if he was famous. Bless.)

Date: 2008-11-26 07:43 pm (UTC)I did, and oh gosh. I wished right away I had a cluem but maybe it was better not. The fact he was blind should have given me a clue, I suppose, given the place, but hey, that's me, clueless most of the time :D
Awww, bless! :D Not just me then, lol
