at the copa? noooo at the elevator
Several years ago, my friends and I attended a Barry Manilow concert in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. After the concert we went back to our hotel and went swimming. After swimming we were waiting in the hallway for the elevator. It was late at night and the lobby was empty. The far doors opened and we heard someone whistling the toon "Call Me" well...it was Mr. Manilow and some of his friends...he came smiling up to the elevator, and there we were with wet hair, no makeup, looking like drowned rats. One of my friends rummaged thru her bag for a pen and paper...we sheepsishly asked for an autograph. Barry was most gracious and signed the napkins (the only paper she had in her purse) and my wet sweatshirt and then hurried into the elevator. We stood outside, waved goodbye and then once the doors closed we let out a big war hoop. The next day one of the bellhops let me know that as soon as the door closed in Mr. Manilows elevator, he turned to his comrades and stated "watch this..one, two , three, ...." and then pointed at the door, at which time they could all hear our war hoop of excitement. I was a little embarrassed but it was a meeting I wont forget.
