Well, today there were two chances for a little bit of fame and I unfortunately missed both of them.
This morning in Toronto they were trying to break a Guiness World Record for the longest can-can line, dance line, whatever you want to call it. You just had to show up near the Hummingbird Centre around 8:30 and do a little high steppin' with about 2000 other people and you would have been part of the World Record. The previous record was set in Germany with about 1100 people I believe. I had gotten an email from American Express telling me about it but in the back of my mind I was thinking it was near the end of November. I knew my girlfriends in Mississauga would have gladly gone with me, well Marianne would've for sure. She is definitely a "seize the moment" person and I'm so lucky to have been friends with her for so long. We've had a lot of adventures along the way and I know she would have jumped at this little one too. Anyway, by the time I realized it was today I couldn't swing it.
The reason they were doing it was probably to publicize the Radio City Christmas Spectacular show which is in Toronto for something like 84 shows between now and Christmas. It features the Rockettes and the Christmas show that is in New York every year. I've always said I wanted to go to New York at Christmas just to see that show and the tree in Rockefeller Centre. My girlfriends and I have been to New York a couple times but never at Christmas. Needless to say I was very excited to hear the show was coming to Toronto and already have tickets for Emily and I.
The second shot at fame was an open casting call for a movie filming in Guelph tonight. A girl I work with and her husband were going. Anyone that knows me is probably wondering why I didn't jump at the chance. Well, everyone is being made up like zombies...it's for Night of The Living Dead!!! I decided to pass, even though their names will be in the credits...but you'll never recognize them...no thanks...I passed on that one!
And thanks to that certain "friend" who told me that at least I wouldn't need much makeup if I did it! HA HA HA..I have such funny friends....NOT!!
