The highlights tour

OMG! I forgot to tell y'all about the St. Lou highlight!!! I MET BILL NYE!!!!! THE SCIENCE GUY!!!!

So when I was at one of the crazy press parties a fellow DC-ite (I think his name was Nate. It was one syllable. I can't remember) infomed me that Bill Nye was an attendee at the conference (The American Association for the Advancement of Science if you care). I became immediately giddy about the possibility of a brush with greatness. I mean who doesn't aspire to be a tall, gangly, bow-tie wearing scientist! He made me who I am today. Ok that's an exaggeration. 321 Contact was more influential. (And I'm not tall, gangly, or bow-tie wearing.) So we were joking around that I had to meet Mr. Nye and tell him that he was my hero. Double dog dare.

The very next day, I was wandering around the halls not attending any boring meetings when I heard that the cast of NUMB3RS was in the hizouse. I don't watch the show but I am a fan of David Krumholz and can (sadly) recite his entire film career. So I stepped into that less than boring meeting to gaze at him from afar. Mid-gaze, I saw BILL NYE! THE SCIENCE GUY!!! Post-gaze, I went up to Mr. Nye and in the fashion of a giddy school girl told him that he was my hero. He responded somewhat rudely and turned away. So I started to harumph out of there. He must have realized his rudeness becuase he stopped me to invite me to a reception. With an icy stare I responded that I had other plans. (Ok it wasn't that icy. And I did have other plans. But he was kinda rude)

I did not say hello to David Krumholz because I was afraid that I might come across as weird stalker fan. I mean really, who's a fan of David Krumholz?
