yes. yes it was.

she turned to the young woman i was hanging out with for the trip/weekend/event and said "Ooooooo he's good - you hold on to him!"

Ok, so... this is an odd one. I was performing in the National Shakespeare competition at Lincoln Center, and she was a judge.

When i met her, i totally blanked on her name (and totally grew up watching her on TV), and said "one does not know what to say when in the presence of such greatness"

I accidentally hit on Phylicia Rashad when i was 17. It actually went pretty well.

wine, yay, job... i mean, i'll take it
