i'm a total geek for famous people

i've been known to write emails to famous people who are willing to:
1. publicly list their email address
2. actually write back

i've received emails from both Henry Rollins and Jude.

the first from henry was after his show in mpls. and it kicked such complete ass that i had to write him and tell him. and then i got a reply from jude when i requested using one of his photos on my blog. i've just recently emailed jude to see if he'll be in the mpls. vicinity around the time o' the wedding, and if he'd consider singing at the wedding (a girl can dream, right?) and then i invited henry to the wedding.

henry's response:
"Kari, thanks for the invite. Congratulations and I hope it's a great day. I'm sure it will be. Henry"
so i'll take it as a "no," but at least it was a nice response and not a restraining order.

and on a completely unrelated note, if i came across anyone who said to me "hey, i'm gellin'," i'd run a spike through their head.

hey! "the wedding singer" is on! good times. and pretty accurate except that drew barrymore looks NOTHING like i remember the 80s looking. she doesn't even have Roos hightops or scrunch socks or mall hair or big shoulder pads in her shirts.
