Last night I went to the Carter Center with my co-worker Mack to see Sarah Vowell. She was funny and charming. I thought I had a crush on her before, now I know I do. She read from her book "Assassination Vacation" and some Op-Ed pieces she's done recently. She also took some questions (the last two were about the Incredibles).
The following is the actual conversation I had after this picture was taken:
SV: Oh, I got a thumbs up.
CW: Yeah. Have you seen 43 plays for 43 presidents?
SV: No... (with rising intonation, I've piqued her interest!)
CW: It's awesome. It's by the Neo-Futurists out of Chicago.
SV: Oh, ok.
CW: Each president gets 2 minutes (I flash two fingers, almost Chuck Woolery-style)
SV: They have a short attention span.
*******
That was awesome but my fantasy version is even better:
SV: Oh, I see you have an [adult swim] hoodie on, are you a fan?
CW: Yeah, I also work on a show.
SV: Which one?
CW: We used to work on Sealab but now we are working on a new show.
SV: That's my favorite! You know the one episode where the tiny John Wilkes Booth shoots Quinn in the head?
CW: I thought you'd like that one...
Man, I'm smooth.
