Should A Body Meet A Body: Pat Benetar, Neil Geraldo and Bruce Campbell

So, alright, today began brisk and busy, I've been covering my vacationing friend at the Film Center so I was immersed in building showtimes and answering messages and blah de blah. So I went for a walk for a bit and walked across Auraria Parkway to the Conoco for a late afternoon snack. While waiting in line to purchase some pretzels and a Cherry Coke I am surprised to see Pat "freakin" Benetar and her beau and muse Neil Geraldo come in for lord knows what. I just, oddly, raise a hand and say "Hello there.." to which they both reply "Hi!". I paid for my stuff and quickly left (I can be shy 'round famous people especially ones I used to jump around on my bed singing into a spoon to). Then, while leaving the Film Center around 5pm I was serenaded by Mrs. Benetar and Mr. Geraldo doing a soundcheck of LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD over at Invesco Field or whatever outdoor venue is across the way there. Sweet.
THEN! I trucked over to the Mayan Theatre where I had promised to help out with the Bruce Campbell book signing/ film in-person. Now, I knew I was going to eventually meet him but couldn't believe how charismatic and genial he is up close (especially after he had to sign 649 copies of his new book in 4 hours). The rest of the staff and I got to say hello after the book signing and I think he may have been appreciative that all I wanted was a handshake (a pal took a photo which maybe I will someday post. maybe I'll just press it in my memory book...). I tried not to geek out too much but I may have cracked, I dunno. My favorite moment from this evening:

Bruce Campbell is packing up and getting ready to call it a night on the mezzanine of the Mayan Theatre. Two young men (bout 19 tops) come up to him.
Boy..1: Hey Bruce, we were just going to go and get a burrito if you want to join us...
Bruce: (amused) Thanks guys, but I'm good.
Boy..2: (to Boy ..1) Burrito!? Dude, couldn't you come up with anything classier?!
