#163 Personal Handler

I'm not really sure exactly how to explain just how surreal this night was, other than by saying at the end of the night I was riding around in a limo with Fonzie and Shirley. Yes, the Fonz from Happy Days and Shirley from Laverne & Shirley. I also was hanging with Leslie Nielson who even at the age of 82 had us all laughing hysterically because of a hand held whoopie cushion that he kept squeezing every time he posed for a picture. For a good part of the evening I was the personal handler for Mark Metcalf (best known as "Niedermeyer" from Animal House or "The Maestro" from Seinfeld) At one point I was in the middle of a Blue Man performance, at another I was speaking to a Cher impersonator. All very surreal. This was all part of a grand opening of a new section at the Potawatomie Casino in Milwaukee. Through a friend of a friend, (thanks Erin and Gino) I was able to be a personal assistant with a couple others to a group of celebrities that were making appearances that night, including the before mentioned Henry Winkler and Cindy Williams.
