Sorry it was rather quiet in here but there is a reason - I went on a trip to New York to see Scott in a musical! And it was great, obviously. So there was a lot to prepare beforehand and not much time for playing.
Before the trip, I did these two pictures. The first one is a birthday picture for a friend who does like - um, cake ;)
And the second one with the New York souvenirs I already had from ebay despite never having travelled there before. Believe me, now I do have many more LOL
I did take Archer with me but we only managed this one picture. It was made by my friend with her Iphone:
The reason I went there - I saw Scott Bakula live on stage in "The Connector" and we got a photo taken with Scott:
And I gave him a book with action figure pictures (of Agent Pride). These pictures were sent to me by
analineblue thank you!
There are no pictures from Saturday when I gave him the book. These are from Sunday when I let him sign my own copy and asked whether he already had a chance to look into it.
I also had smuggled in my before-after picture as Scott had been an inspiration for me starting with sports.
He said he liked this picture best and told me "Good for you!"
There also had been a Q&A where he sat on stage after the play and we got to ask questions like at a convention.
I also asked a question about the play and he looked right at me when answering and before he did asked me where I was from (I guess my German accent gave me away).
You can watch it here, this link jumps to 22:54 when I asked my question: "I was fascinated when the spotlight was on somebody else and you were in the background talking animatedly but without words and I wanted to know if there was script for it or if you make it up every evening."

Also on Thursday we went to the ABC studios to see Scott being interviewed in "The View". In the breaks we were entertained by funny comedian Regina DeCicco. She asked where we were from and I said Dresden but I never know how to pronounce it. But Whoopi Goldberg knew how to spell it and asked back whether it was D-R-E-S-D-E-N and I said yes so that means I had a conversation with Whoopi Golderberg, right?
And today I learnt that she has lived in the GDR / East Germany from 1979 till 1981 and played theater here. I never knew!
