Only in Hollywood!
Today was a day like many other days, wherein this actor-at-large had to pay the bills by working a day job. :-(
During the morning, Timothy Dalton showed up to do a little Christmas shopping, and yours truly... recognizing the ol' cleft chin, immediately misidentified him, walked up and introduced himself as "another Lance" (mistaking him for another cleft-chinned soap star) - Needless to say, he wasn't terribly amused but was kind enough to say, "I've been called worse." Oops! When I realized my mistake and apologized, he seemed pretty gracious... but I still felt like an idiot.
Later that same day, I was helping another customer and couldn't help thinking I knew her. She almost felt like a friend. Finally I asked if she had been in before because she seemed awfully familiar, and she asked me if I had ever seen "Deadwood?" BuhDUH! It was Robin Weigert (Calamity Jane).
(Sigh) I'd rather be acting myself... well, I guess I AM acting... acting like a responsible person and keeping the rent paid! :-p
Cheers all!

Deeply amusing, Lance. Congrats on the upcoming nuptuals. Where will they be?
Hello Herb! We'll be celebratin' in da woods, in Lacamas near Vancouver, WA. I can't wait to see forests again!
Very cool! Keep us posted as to details, if possible we'd love to see you again - it's been far too long!
Quick, unrelated question...is that you singing " I Saw Mommy Kissing Yog-Sothoth" on the HPL Historical Society album "A Very Scary Solstice"?
As a matter of fact... it is me singing, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Yog-Sothoth" and our latest CD includes another solo, "All I Want for Solstice is my Sanity." (An Even Scarier Solstice). Hey Herb, I don't have your current email... would you mind sending it to me?
