| FACT: It takes 20 minutes from final bow to an appearance at the autograph table. If you want to meet Bruno you must build that time into your itinerary. And if you don't get to the front of the line you have to build in another hour, especially when the Bridge is in the house! And there in lies a tale. The Tale General Di marshalled her forces about 15 minutes into the preB wait. "We must have a plan. Denise, what do you intend to do?" While the two conferred, the soldiers of the Pelletier Bridge waited in a spot near the wall awaiting further instructions. The General, however, was distracted by the Bru Ha Ha about the B-Boutique Table. Her sergeant at arms, Lisa, called across the crowded room (No, B does not sing Some Enchanted Evening.) General Alfonsi strode over and presented her orders. A frontal assault was called for. Elbows High. Bridge Magnets to the Fore. Take no prisoners. Denise will take the rear position. Charge she yelled as the objective was sighted [NOTE TO THE ACADEMIE BRUNESE - perhaps Charge should be replaced by Barge should the situation ever occur again}: Hair tossing, Smile beaming. Cozy grey sweater. Goodness he is pretty when he is happy. Our intel was faulty. B had selected a different part of the lobby for the signing. Our ever resourceful general rallied the troops, leading the charge into the mêlée that had started in front of the Bridge Platoon. |
