Imagine if you had to choose your top 632 friends to invite to a gala affair to announce the opening of your new movie like Dan Brown did? Who would you invite?
I was mentioned in the acknowledgments of Angels and Demons, the book. We were quite close in those days. Somehow, we got dropped off the A list and all I have to show for it is a bunch of signed Dan Brown books. LOL I need to sell them on ebay!
I think Dan would approve of that!
But seriously, when someone becomes rich and famous, what makes them change? I remember when we’d go out to dinner and to the movies. Some weeks we were broke, some week they were broke, but we always worked it out. We always had fun. We went to NY together when he was signing book deals. It was so much fun. We had to stay at the Edison Hotel because it was like $94 a night. We went to the Starlight Cafe and just goofed around the city.
When he finished his book, he called at like 7pm and said lets go celebrate at the truck stop. We dropped everything and met them there. He was so happy. So were we!
It was around this time that he said since he had to cancel our vacation to Acapulco that we needn’t worry, when his books were made into movies he’d be taking us all to Tahiti.
Man, I sure hope they sell soon!
This makes me sad and I have never even met the man.
