...put your nuts away
I made a little road trip to California this weekend to visit with my friend Brandi and to catch Wil Wheaton in Acme's Love Machine.
The trip was great and the show was fabulous! We chatted with Wil for a bit after the show. When Wil offers up a compliment or comment you never get the feeling that he's simply blowing smoke up your ass. He's just incredibly genuine and sincere, so when he opened up our conversation with something along the lines of "Wow! You look great! Really great!" I was absolutely floored. As we were chatting he made sure to introduce us to all the cast members and friends that passed buy. While introducing us to the director of the show he mistakenly said that I had driven from Tucson instead of Phoenix. I joked that he tacked on an extra hour and a half to my drive to make it sound cooler. The next introduction he said that I drove from Santa Fe... no, El Paso! Hehe.
We chatted a bit about computers, leaving Brandi to just smile, nod and try not to look congused. I mentioned that I had joined the Mac family with a 17" iMac G5 (not as sweet as his 20" iMac G5) and I was planning on getting an iBook as well. He also seemed impressed by my ability to run my own mail server from my home.
We were invited to join him and the cast for drinks next door, but were warned about the cliquey nature of theatre groups. Though that would have been hella cool (and I am kind of kicking myself for it now), we ended up going bowling instead. We didn't want to feel like we were intruding at all.
So to recap: the show rawked and Wil rawks.
