I can't Friggin' believe it. My daughter ran into Al Gore last night in SF at the Comedy Club.

She went to a Dave Chappelle show.
DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT. I WISH I HAD GONE!!

She said he was sitting in a corner (Club holds about 60 people) with a few people. He was quite gracious - stood up and shook their hands and chatted a bit.
Dave Chappelle also brought Chris Tucker onstage as well. She was at the table front and center (11:30 PM show) - the show ended at approximately 3 AM.

Dave Chappelle made several references to Al Gore and called him Mr. President a few times. The place was rocking. My daughter said it was one of the best nights of her life EVER!!

They all chanted "Gore '08"! Sob - I wish I had been there.

2. Wow! That must have been a thrilling experience. It would have been the

thrill of my life for sure.

[Bullwinkle925]

3. She's still on a 'high'.

You're right - they were so fortunate to meet him.
Chappelle said that "Bush is always touted as the man you can sit down and have a beer with - but look who is actually here with us drinking tonight"!!

Cheers!

9. That girl always seems to run into everybody. Must have been born

under a lucky star.
She did arrange a meeting for me last year to meet one of my heart-throbs - Smokey Robinson.
Boy that guy can give some good hugs.

Sigh!
She's a good daughter, she is!!

:woohoo:

5. Chapelle's back in the US?

Damn, that's GREAT news! Oh, and good to hear Gore was there, too!

IIRC one of his daughters used to write for "Futurama". I've heard that he has a very good sense of humor, in person. It's too bad the handlers made him look so wooden in 2000...

[Bullwinkle925]

8. Yup - my daughter was telling me last nite before she went to his

show about his MIA and hasty departure to Africa. Don't know if he talked about that last night - I'll find out when she comes by later.

6. wow - what a great night!

i wish i had been there too!!

[Bullwinkle925]

7. Me too - DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT.

No - not a jealous bone in this body!

:banghead:



She has applied to work for the Cable show that will be premiering sometime in SF - all Political station.
I asked her if she mentioned it to him and she said:
"Mom - he doesn't work in HR!" - but she said she re-submitted her resume once again today.
