good rule: try to avoid meeting famous people that you actually like. as someone who memorized spinal tap in high school, i was very excited to meet christopher guest who, as it turns out, was far less excited to meet me. i don't think i've ever had a photo session cut so short. i believe we got a total of eight frames out before guest cut us off. he thought the lights were too bright, he didn't like the blue background, he wouldn't shake my hand. granted, it was the very end of a long day of a press junket, so i'll chalk it up to that for him, 'cause i'd still really like to like to guy. eugene levy was great, though. he seemed like he was just going along with things as happily as he could.
