Be still, my stinkin’ heart
GET OUT!
Just saw this. There are maybe six celebrities I’d camp out over night to see, and I believe we all know who two of them are. The other four? Well, this man is one of them. Love him, love him, love him. His film, The Conversation, is one of my all-time favorites.
And HE IS COMING TO ASHEVILLE TO SEE ME!
Well, I guess if you’re going to be all nit-picky about it, he’s technically coming to do a reading at a local bookshop, but I think insisting on that level of detail just takes all the soul and magic out of life.
Mr Brilliant has just been given a subtle hint that buying tickets for this event would be advisable. ("GET ME A TICKET!")
Really, even as much as I used to read People magazine (I gave it up this year, so if–like my friend Sally K–you see Mr Depp pictured in it, feel free to mail me that page), and as much as I joke about Mr Depp and Mr Collins, and as fantastic a poker player I could be what with the not revealing anything, there are few people who could cause such a reaction in me as seeing that Gene Hackman is coming to town. Even Mr Brilliant noticed ("You even moved your head!" he exclaimed). Do I care that Gene Hackman has written a novel set in the Civil War? As Tess would say, "I think not." Completely beside the point. Would listen to him read the minutes from that contentious City Council meeting about water rights.
Look for photos on June 27th.
