This was probably THE
high point of the evening for me. I had just gone back for yet another
plate of the very good, though limited in variety, food and was making
my way back to the dance floor, when who should I spot, but John Rhys-Davies!
He's surrounded by just a few
people, so I drop my plate into the nearest trash receptacle and start
toward him. I think most of the people in the building saw him at about
the same time, however. There was a mad press of people and I was shoved
up close to him.

In the
maddening rush of well-wishing and picture taking, I managed to
get close enough to say thank you for the hard work he put into The
Lord of The Rings. A lady nearby graciously agreed to take
our picture. As she was getting set to take it, John put his arm
around my shoulder and started playing with my hair! Needless to
say, I couldn't control myself and the picture you see is a
result of my uncontrolled laughter and joy of this moment.
Thanks John!

Unfortunately, I
think the mad rush of people trying to get close to Mr. Davies is
what caused security to stop the celebrities from mingling with
us. I heard later that a couple of the celebrities started to move
into the crowd, but security asked them not to. It is human
nature, I suppose to want to be close to the stars, and I am no
better than the rest, I guess.
