Respected CNN news anchor, the very intelligent and even more passionate (and utterly adorable! *sigh*), the one and only Anderson Cooper made an appearance for University at Buffalo's Distinguished Speaker Series. I went to the Arena, dressed up in nice heels, my nice pants, and my cute blouse and my nice coat, with a dash of my sample Estee Lauder perfume just in case he might ask me out for a drink after.
At the end of the session, I managed to wrangle through the masses to come up near the stage to just oogle at his piercing blue eyes and shake his hand. This guy next to me then thrusted a disposable camera into my hands and asked me to take a photograph of him with AC. I politely obliged him, and snapped a quick photo. Unfortunately, the flash didn't go off in the rather poorly lit auditorium. Anderson said "Uh-oh, the flash didn't go off," and I dumbly nodded my head and stared intently at the camera valiantly but unsucessfully looking for the 'press for flash' button. After a few moments, Anderson reached over, brushed my hand (!), and pressed the 'press for flash' button and politely told me I needed to wind up the camera again.
So there it is. My only close encounter with the dashing Mr.Cooper immortalizes me as the silly giddy girl who didn't know how to operate a disposable camera.
