FAME! or, how i'm going to get discovered by week's end

why maroon? i don't know yet...

so last june, we attended a client's birthday party. said client's nephew happens to be the director of my soap opera. by my soap opera i mean the one we watch at work. everyday. every week.

this soap opera is called 'the bold & the beautiful.'

aka: b&b

the director of b&b is awesome. he is nice. and down to earth. and i think he appreciated our extensive knowledge about the show that he directs. uj has been watching this show since it first aired. he knows everything and everyone.

so, needless to say we had a great time talking with him. before we left he graced us with some scripts (awesome!) and his card, offering a meeting at the studio (quadruply awesome!).

but i was too chicken to call.

ya know what, he's a hollywood director. who would i be if it didn't make me nervous to call him??

but eventually i did call. left a message. felt pretty cool about the whole thing. and you could bet your bottom dollar he called back the next day.

only i wasn't there.

but you can bet another of your dollars that he left a message for ME! little ol ME!! i immediately emailed ben with the following:

"this will most probably be the only time i can say i got a callback from a hollywood director."

and then i giggled to myself. all day. and a little bit right now.

oh, my cleverness.

so there was much phonetagging to ensue. but this past week i talked to him and he talked to me. like real people on a real phone call.

and let me tell you.

he is so cool! he's just super freakin cool!

and we're all set to go up to CBS this friday to hang out...
(do you hear the words that are comin out of my mouth?! -all chris tucker style and everything)

so when you, my dearest and possibly gentlest reader, are awaking on this yet-to-be friday morn, think of me playing it cool whilst my insides are screaming. this is as close as i'm gonna get to my dreams of stardom. most possibly the only time i'll be phonetagging with directors.

and i'm LOVING every second of it! i promise a full report post-tour. maybe pictures if i'm lucky :)

(aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!)
