My church has a performing arts program where we do a variety of concerts, invite a variety of performers and groups…and tonight we are presenting David Wilcox (the American one) who is my favorite folk musician. Now I try to be a good little fan, and not get all giddy. I’ve been to five of his concerts, and didn’t even TRY to say hi to him afters…but tonight, I not only get to meet him, but have dinner with him afterwards! I cannot think of a single topic of conversation that doesn’t come across as too stupid to ask!
I’m in charge of all the food for the reception afterwards, but this time (because the concert is a sort-of thank you to me for doing all the food for a few years) I’m not allowed to be down in the kitchen doing final prep like I usually do…I actually get to sit through the concert! So of course I have fourteen thousand things to do before the doors open at 6:15, and I’m really, really getting nervous. We’re hoping for a great turnout, and I’m hoping my volunteers don’t burn anything while I’m out of the kitchen!
Oh, and I’m hoping I don’t make a complete and total fool of myself. I mean, it’s not like he’s George Clooney or Phil Collins…it’s his music I love! But still…if I can manage to look stupid, I will…
