OMGOMGOMG. I was just half a foot away from Philip Glass. We had a short conversation.

I've just had a short conversation with Philip Glass, who was practicing in the music studio next door. I was lurking in the hallway as he started and stopped, then after a while the door opened. He didn't look super startled to find me there. I told him how to find the men's restrooms (he asked) and I told him how much I was looking forward to his opera. He asked if I was in the production, and I said no, I was on the staff, but I'd begun seeing him live in 1991. "Here?" he asked, genuinely baffled. "No, in Nashville."


:D :D :D :D :D :D

This is definitely a highlight in my little life. Up close and personal. Wow. I'm totally starstruck.

Wow, I'm jealous! That's like seeing Sting or Jack Nicholson for classical music-lovers! Back in the 70's, a friend gave Robert Redford directions to the Kennedy Center restaurant when she was lurking in the lobby waiting to be part of the audience for a scene in All the President's Men.

It really is! He was delightfully unassuming and I'm glad that I didn't stumble over my words or act too much like a crazy fangirl. But this was an absolutely amazing day. He was right in front of me!!!
