Reply #92: Well, I woohoooed Bill Maher from the balcony cheap seats

[K8-EEE]

Which was about my entire interaction with famous people, LOL, are you kidding we were in the cheap seats and just gawking at everybody in the lobby....

They like the non-famosos to get there EARLY (like, 3:30) so as not to clutter up the red carpet with our normal hydes while the stars walk in, still it is something to walk down that red carpet and see that wall of photogs etc!

So then when you get inside they have a jazz combo playing in there, they were playing Coltrane when we walked in which was cool! We walked in with that High School musical girl what is her name? Vanessa Hudgens?

In order to lure people in early they have open bar and little Wolfgang Puck hors d'oervres....which are yummy! They had goat cheese quiches, tuna tartar, little pastrami sandwich type canapes and various "crustini" type canapes whatever you call them, they were good!

So the fun part is they have TV's in the lobbies by the bar so you get to watch the red carpet interviews and then they walk right in! But it's not like you go up and talk to anybody....natch we ran into other non-famosos to chat with, once you go to the upstairs bar you are pretty much segregated by an invisible velvet rope, if you have the balcony seats once you go up they don't let you down until aftert he show!
