An Actual Conversation I Had With Alan Cumming; Or, Sarah Acts Like an Idiot Around Celebrities, Part 1

By Sarah Carlson
March 12, 2007

Setting: Saturday, March 10, 2007. The InterContinental Hotel, downtown, Austin, Texas. Sarah, who likes to talk in the third person, is sitting in a chair right outside of the State Boardroom, waiting to talk with David Boreanaz about his new movie, "Suffering Man's Charity", which premiered at SXSW on Friday.

Aaaaand scene:

Sarah: [Sitting in a chair, staring at a wall.]
Alan Cumming: [Pokes his head out of the State Boardroom, speaks to Sarah in his Scottish accent that is hard to understand, especially when she wasn't prepared to be talked to.] "Are you the Toronto lady?"
Sarah: "The Truntel lady?"
Alan Cumming: "Toronto."
Sarah: "Oh -- sorry. No."
Alan Cumming: [Politely half-smiles, then shuts the door.]
Sarah: [Immediately writes this interaction down in the margins of her notepad. Plans on telling everyone she knows.]
