Met him 3 times, on accident - first time - the hug, kiss, cuddle time was when we stayed at the same hotel in Bribane on the same floor. I met him in the lounge, perv'ed on him *not realizing* who I was perving on *then the penny dropped* and I think I started shaking right then. I know I did later he kept telling me, it's alright, your with me, don't be embarrased, I wont bite" Many times he said that. He blushes horridly and his mates were giving him a hard time and trying to get my room # for him or for him to give me his. So he was as beat red as I.
Everytime we has spoken the 3 times I met him he blushes - badly. So once at the hotel, once at a gig near my place 8 hours from Sydney where they were filming the first Matrix and they came to my local night club. It's on this really neat inlet.
Anyway, place is empty - him and his band were supposted to play - I didn't know that - girls night out. Place is dead empty - and then they had massive equiptment failure. We spoke again, yes he did recognize me but not my name. He said all your drinks are on me - I shouted back (sound testing equiptment) that I wanted a VB (its a beer), then he had to go back on stage.
Carrie Ann Moss was there that night, like I fricking knew! But I was dancing with her and most of the Matrix crew - like light guys etc. I didn't know they were THERE. period.
So small group, small dance floor (no VIP room etc or body guards) - danced w/Carrie and Co all night - when I was leaving, I said "Hey, never got to introduce myself, I am Sandy" *real long pause* So I said "And you are"? Rather indignent, told me her name. I go OH so your with Keanu doing the Matrix, cool.
I also met him at another gig, night before I was to leave LA - I went to the Troubadour, we spoke again, rather quickly - reminded him he owes me a beer - i.e. YOU go to the bar and get it for me - like a gentleman does. (thats why I didn't drink under his tab) His Mum was there too and I met her as well. Tall lady I'll tell ya what!
My adventures.......Flying back n forth to Australia 19 times in 13 years.
When I was a kid, my gran was a famous Italian Chef who's husband and family had connections. Well really she was a Gooma for over 48 years *sigh* but a mafia wife to the bone. So I met all the rat pack as a kid - like sinatra and that. I ran around that restaurant like I owned it and didn't care - no one stopped me either! I remember Frankie Avalon several times, and Sonny Bono - Cher came in but late at night when I wasn't there like a busy friday or saturday night. There is a long list of the old stars that I have met as a kid - I could barely begin! Cheers Sandy
