Sounds as if you had an amazing night. It's even more amazing that you and HC didn't get arrested.

I know you are kidding Nut, but I would never have done anything disrespectful for all the bail money in the world!!

I will say that he far exceeded my expectations for that evening. There was one thing that I wanted to talk to him about and he looked me in the eyes the whole time, he really listened and then thanked ME for telling him! He is a doll and a classy guy! I could not believe how blue his eyes were!!!
 
I'm jealous of y'all. I thought I was badass because I bought a car from Jarvis Green's brother. . . (he works at a dealership outside of Atlanta)

Ok -- what did you ask him?

I did not ask him anything, I wanted to tell him something personal.

BG, you stood right next to him. How tall is BB? He looks like about 5-foot-8 from my guesstimate.

He is about 5'10. I am 5'3" and wearing heels, so I was 5'5" and Bill was still a good head taller than me!
 
Great stuff!!! Glad you met him!!!
 
Some highlights from last night:

-When Bill was introduced he got a long standing ovation, I would guess almost two minutes in length. He finally waved his arms downward to get everyone to sit down.

-He asked if there were any Patriots fans in the crowd and he got another long, loud cheer.

-He thanked everyone for their support during his time in NE and with the Giants.

-He talked about having "Spring Fever" for the draft and is looking forward to the draft.

"Go where your love is, go where your heart tells you to go." He was talking about the future. This was one of my favorite lines of the night. "There are a couple of us older people in the audience, me being number one, your career path is very seldom a straight line, it takes a lot of twists and turns along the way."

"One of the things that I have learned ...in your profession you really only have two things, your name and your reputation. And your reputation is currency. And that is earned over time in a lot of short term performances."

The film breakdown was my favorite part too!! HC and I went to a reception prior to the lecture and he came in for about an hour and took pictures which they will mail to us.

When it was our turn, HC went to his left and I went around to his right and he says to us," Where do you want me, in the middle?" Classic!!!

It turned out to be about a two and half hour ride on the way down, but we stopped to tour the Wesleyan campus. It was off of 91 South so it was on the way. The campus is great, very New England, the exit for New Haven was 6 exits or so south of the campus.

During the lecture, BB was very funny! One little boy in a Brady jersey asked him if it was bad that AV left and Bill laughed and said, "I did not hear the question." The little boy did not realize he was kidding and asked it again but louder into the microphone! BB talked about change in every organization in response.

The ride home was longer, we sat in traffic in the parking lot for a while.....it felt like being at Gillette! I dropped HC off around midnight and I got home around 1230am or so!

Like I said, I taped it with an audio recorder and I will try to post some of it when I get home tonight! He really was fantastic. So, for all of the Bill bashers who say that he is boring or grumpy or rude, I now have solid proof to refute all of that. Of course this means that I will be an even bigger Bill defender than I was in the past!

Thanks for an amazing night, Coach!

It was a great night. He had my 11yr old son and I riveted for the hour or so that he was on stage.

Hey you were sitting in my section at the end of the my row and 1 closer to the stage. Thought the crowd was going to start throwing stuff at you.

That is great. It's what I tell new people in my business.

Now, did I steal it from him or did he steal it from me? Actually, it's really just common sense but I'm always amazed of the large number of people who just don't get it.

I was the same way, I don't think I blinked the entire time he was on stage!

You couldn't. You were under his spell. He had you way before "hello".

HAHAHA!!! He had me when he dumped the Jets!!
 
How many days, months, years will it take before BG & HC wash the hand that shook BB's hand?

Not until they get over Bill wanting to be in the middle....I'll take a stab at NEVER!

They are probably having special gloves made to cover that hand.
