i found this blog during my informal research of “people who have meet?” . i couldn’t stop laughing, not at your pain of course. your a great writer… i can imagine being right there with you. my great meeting was with Tom Savini and i adore him. i felt like the biggest idiot on earth. how does this happen? who is the celebrity, us or them? but we end up center ring standing before them like we have to entertain them or our heads will roll. i would love to see a short indie film of fans entertaining their favorite celebrities…lol

Geez that was nice! What a compliment to you Josh! I liked your ballerina post today Josh. Mom said Ellies dance was the best. The rest sounds kind of weird

I just re-read this, out loud, to my boyfriend. We love it. My boyfriend has these moments often; so we were giggling in solidarity. If I ever meet Bruce, I will likely say the same thing. I do think it’s hilarious that you blurted out “I have Tourette’s Syndrome, I don’t do anything.” Two totally unrelated statements. And only one of them true. And not because you were star struck. Because you were thrown off that he knew your name. I’m certain that’s the reason. Definitely.

I was looking up Bruce Campbell Day on Google, and this blog popped up. It was the second result. The title provoked me- how can somebody have a terrible day if on that day, he met Bruce Campbell? Well, of course now I know. I began reading your blog, and it kept my interest. That’s saying something; I love to read, but I can’t say that stories grab my interest in the first two sentences. Other than Thomas Pynchon, I can’t quickly think of anybody contemporary who does. On top of it, I’m not much of a blog reader, not because I don’t want to be; I just bought a computer for the first time in years.
Anyway, I love the story. It’s great. It’s not only funny and self-depricating; it’s managed to give me a snapshot of Bruce Campbell, stumped by a fan. I love awkward situations. Especially when I’m fan of somebody in the situation. I can’t say I don’t wish that Bruce would’ve been a little quicker on the draw. “I wouldn’t have noticed” is better than nothing, I guess, and his thinking the better of the fist bump is thrilling. I also love the ending wrap up, “…I can no longer see his face without hearing a distant idiot saying…” etc.
The thing is, you could’ve written about anything. I just like how you write. You manage to describe a scene so that I can fully picture it -and not be… oh what is that called, “purple?” Is that the word? Well, you know, you don’t get all flowery about it. The matter-of-fact style doesn’t want for description, though. Your balance is right up there in the voice of the story. I just really like it, okay?
I don’t know your writing. I don’t know you. I never saw your blogs. So I’m off to read more. Thanks.
