It was most splendid last night seeing DRs JoseSPiano, MusicGuy, FJL, and elmore3003. DR FJL was surprising composed, considering his opening night is now less than 48 hours away!
Last night was my first time meeting bk and DRs Jeanne, Miss Karen, Cason, Jason, and Brain cast member BJ. Let me just say: each and every one of them is more warm, genuine, and truly wonderful than you can ever know - if you have not yet met them - even from knowing them from their posting on HHW. Being here and part of this is truly a blessing. I feel the same way about the DRs in the first paragraph, too, but I'd already met them previously.
Dinner was wild and wacky. By the way, thank you, DR MusicGuy! Is bk always like that, or was it the full moon? He had the whole table laughing the entire meal. He sang songs - many of which were made up on the spot - and life was truly a song cue. bk also did many, many voices. What a riot.
I can't begin to remember who ordered what. I do remember that the ranch dressing didn't pass bk's test. And DR Jeanne ordered a tuna sandwich, much to bk's dismay.
DR Miss Karen made the ultimate sacrifice in reminding me to take along my goodie bag from DR JoseSPiano [ thank you, DR JoseSPiano!!! ], which I almost left under my seat, and didn't even consider confiscating it for her own self!
DR MusicGuy declined to stand up in the crowded restaurant and shout "UNDERPANTS!", explaining that it just wouldn't have the same effect in New York City - i.e., no one would either notice or care.
The fun continued with dessert - which did not require too much arm-twisting! Thank you so much, DR Miss Karen! The coconut cake certainly lived up to its reputation.
I look forward to making more HHW connections over the coming weekend. And thanks, DR JoseSPiano, for documenting the event and posting the photos, since I stupidly forgot to charge my camera battery!
