After my first day in Chicago I met Griff, Elizabeth, Cindy, Jordan and Cara (from eBay’s PR group) to run-through our on-stage presentation. After our run-through, Griff, Elizabeth, Cindy and I all went to lunch together. At lunch, something happened that made us all laugh so hard that we were crying. I don’t think it will ever be possible to explain it to anyone so will leave it at this: “mister.”
That night, Elizabeth Summers (BookLovertoo) and her husband Briantook me and Mo’s sister (Anne) to the James Taylor/Carole King Concert. Elizabeth & Brian thank you so much for this incredible experience. Third row. Wow!
But I get ahead of myself. When Anne and I got in the cab at the hotel, the cab driver turned around, looked at both of us girls and said, “How are you fellows doing this evening?” I looked at Anne and said, “Seriously?” We started cracking up and I don’t think I ever stopped laughing the entire time I was in Chicago. I think it is my new favorite city.
As soon as we got out of the cab at the United Center (where the Blackhawks had just won the Stanley cup–Yeah!!!) we told Elizabeth
and Brian the story. We were still laughing so hard we were crying so had Elizabeth take a photo of Anne and me in front of the men’s bathroom.
Doesn’t Anne look just like Mo (Maureen)? Then we headed to our seats and as Anne and I followed Elizabeth and Brian down the stairs to the floor we kept saying “this is just getting better and better”! Check out our view from the third row.
