After prepping my dinner, I headed on down to Baayork's place for the meeting to discuss Thommie Walsh's memorial service. Well, when I got there, it had turned out that the meeting had been moved back to Noon - and, of course, no one had told me. However, since the first part of the meeting was more about logistics, it worked out fine. When I arrived, it was mainly the music staff that was left. I got to meet the legendary Don Pippin for the first time, as well as Tommy Tune, Ken Lundy, and few other folks.
The meeting time had been changed due to a scheduling conflict that Mr. Tune had, and he actually "apologized" to me for the mix up. And, I swear, I've met him briefly a few times, and each time I see him I still can't believe he's that tall. It also turned out that Don Pippin and I have a dear friend in common - whom we've both lost touch with over the past few years - so after talking about him, we also just talked about everything else under the sun.
And in true "Miss Wong" fashion, Baayork had set out a little spread of food and champagne(!) for everyone. It was all quite good, and after most of the guests had left, there were four of us who tried our best not to finish the rest of the food. In any case...
