In spite of the lack of affirmation I showed up and can count myself a lucky fan. 🙂
I was in the crowd of folks waiting to get their eBay-ready items signed by Bill Hader and Calista Flockhart. Hader was very kind to all, just a really nice guy, Flockhart pissed everyone off by not signing anything.
Everybody thus left, and before I knew it save for a few onlookers with cameras I was the only person there really waiting for Lucinda. Even Paul Schaeffer and Alan Kalter left before she did. Until she came out I looked kind of silly standing there with my “West” LP. At least 20 gawkers eyed my LP quizzically as they strolled down the street. It’s not a comfortable feeling, but it was worthwhile.
At about 5 after 6 she strolled out and on her way back to her tourbus she signed my “West” LP and was also generous enough to sign my s/t CD cover. I mentioned tomorrow’s concert, among other things, and she seemed genuinely excited about it. She was such a total sweetheart; everything I could have hoped she would be based on what others on here have revealed.
Can’t wait for the show tomorrow.
