Mary's coming to Chicago to be interviewed for an hour and a half before a live audience at Columbia College. Ticket's are going fast. I've got mine!

This is a dream come true for me. I hope I get the chance to at least shake her hand, smile, and say... well, "Hello!"

Wow! That is so great Steve! I hope you have a wonderful time and are able to meet her.

Lolac · 04-04-2005, 11:45 AM

Wow, Steve, how cool is that?! I will be thinking of you that night. It will be my son's 12th birthday and we have tickets to the Washington Nationals home opener at RFK stadium that night. We want him to always remember that he got to see the Nats first home game on his 12th birthday. I can't wait to hear about Mary! Take notes and pictures and give us all the details!

Lolac,
I'll definitely be taking notes, and if they allow it, pictures too. But we'll see what kind of atmosphere is generated there that night. I've ready been advised by a good friend to not get myself arrested! He says he's going to set aside bail money just in case

.
It'll be a late evening, so I may not report back the very next day, but I'm looking forward to telling you all about what a great evening it was.
Enjoy the game with your family!

My ticket conformation shows I'm in Row 16. Darn it!
That's not nearly close enough! Oh well.

I've been really busy and haven't posted on here in forever but just wanted to say I'm SO happy and excited for you Steve

Last summer I had the opportunity to attend a charity event that Mary hosted and briefly meet her after and it was such an awesome experience. Even though she is in her late 60s and even with all of the botox and plastic surgery she is still so incredibly stunning and beautiful in person

Be sure to take a camera with a good zoom!! Even if it says no cameras allowed, often at events like this they are not too strict about the no camera policy. As long as you don't have it out and flashing the entire time they may not care. Since there's a Q&A thing with the audience after the interview, have you thought about asking her a question? You should definitely try!! I hope you get a chance to talk to her and get some good pictures. I'd love to exchange pics with you.

I'll bring a camera, but I'm one of those "rules are rules" types, so I hope they don't have a no pictures policy! I'd be tempted to take one or two anyway, but I'd be so afraid of being asked to leave

. As it is, I'm not even gonna wanna leave when the event is over

!
I do plan to speak with her if allowed. How could I not??? I'll come up with a good question - I hope.
Thanks for the advice

You sound like me, Steve. I'm a "rules are rules" kind of person, too. I can't wait to hear about it!

Steve,
I'm sure you'll enjoy the whole experience and it's something you'll always remember. I hope you get chance to say hello to Mary and ask a question, but whatever happens you'll have a great time. I'm sure Mary will be very nice to everyone,
but I only wish she read this forum because she'd
only want to meet you that much more. Enjoy the evening and we'll enjoy hearing back from you.

That's what my friends, coworkers, and family all say too, "If only she knew who she was meeting!"

Thanks, Samme.

Lolac · 04-14-2005, 11:52 AM

Steve, have a great time tonight! I'll be thinking of you while I'm at the National's home opener! It should be a good night for both of us!

Lolac

Lolac · 04-15-2005, 09:57 AM

So, Steve, how was it?! We're anxious to hear about your night with Mary!

Lolac

SpunkiiMonkii7078 · 04-15-2005, 10:03 AM

I'm sure you had a great time Steve! Anything really exciting happen????

Hi,
I'm glad you're so anxious to hear about my magical night with Mary, but I have a slight dilemma to attend to now. Two days ago my emotional middle daughter (20) annouced that she has quit school and is on her way to live with me. Ahhhh! Needless to say, I'm going to get her to finish, but in the mean time, I'm running around like crazy, moving furniture, converting rooms and clearing closets to prepare. I have to be at the airport in a couple of hours, so I just don't have time to post right now.
In order for you to get the full gist of the evening, I've decided it's going to take a somewhat lengthy article, which I don't mind writing. As soon as I get a chance (this weekend?) I promise, I'll get on it.
Sorry for the delay.

Steve
