Whereby “Big Kev” I mean, Kevin Spacey, and whereby “wears Abercrombie and Fitch” I mean, “was wearing an Abercrombie and Fitch jumper when I met him on Thursday night”. That’s right kids, when I met him.
See, the owner of the company that I work for is a huge (financial) supporter of The Old Vic theatre. As a token of their appreciation, each quarter the theater gives him a bunch of prime seats to go and see whatever play is running. The tickets are then handed out to pretty much any member of staff that wants to go – often two if partners want to come, so that’s exactly what Kristy and I did on Thursday night.
Before the play started, we were treated to a champagne reception with lots of tasty canapes (and lots of champagne). After a bit of mingling, Big Kev entered the fold and gave a little speech, then spent some time warming the crowd – which is when both Kristy and I got to meet him. He seemed like quite a nice guy!
The current play at the theatre is called Speed the Plow – a satirical look at how American movies are produced – and stars Jeff Goldblum alongside Kevin Spacey. In terms of plays, it was at least closer to my taste – short, and comedic, but overall, I’m still not a convert… I’d much rather go and see a movie! (Yes I know, I’m a real “culture vulture”!) gerrod.com rating: 7/10, and only that high because we were treated so nicely!
. But I’m wondering why you still need a scanner? I have downloaded a great scanner app for my phone so I just take...

Ooooh, I sooo want to see that play! It’s right next to my work and I’ve been in love with Jeff Goldblum since I was 14 and saw him in “Earth Girls Are Easy”. Was he just, like, dreamy?!?!
Very cool that you got to meet the Big Kev. The closest I’ve come is sitting at the table next to him at the bar next door.
Errr… dreamy. Sure, why not?
Until I read past the title, I thought you were spying on my Dad!
