Yes, that’s Jennifer Grey and me at the “Disney Epic Mickey” launch. She is not seated in the corner. Just sayin’.
In case you’re wondering, I’m holding up a print-out of my blog entry from September 12 in which I asserted that she was the main story for DWtS and was being largely ignored by the media. She particularly liked being referred to as “Jennifer Freakin’ Grey.”
We also had a lengthy conversation about spinal surgery, since she’s going in for the exact same procedure I had. I felt kind of badly, because the Disney store employees kept trying to shoo me along since they (justifiably) felt I was monopolizing her time, while Grey kept asking me about pain management and recovery time. Meanwhile Caroline was spending time running around with Grey’s daughter, looking at the array of princess stuff, while Kathleen chatted with Grey’s husband about his wife’s time on DWtS, and later with Kyle Massey, sharing notes about where they respectively grew up in Atlanta.
The launch itself was a blast, with game creator Warren Spector being deluged by press and fans alike while the much-anticipated game was set up at the far end of the store. I tried my luck with it. After a few misfires, and realizing that I needed to switch the targeting remote to my dominant hand, I made my way through the Clock Tower sequence that was the main demo, so I felt pretty good about that. Heads-up to fellow lefties: The game set up actually has a left-handed setting you can utilize so you don’t get your wires crossed.
And it was great to see various denizens of this very board taking the time to come by and contribute to the game launch. And remember, I’ll be back in the city tomorrow for the signing at the Borders at 34th Street.
