| I’m a first time poster. With all of the reviews for “The Life,” it triggered a memory of mine from years ago. I was invited to a theatre after-party. During the evening, I saw Billy Porter. I’ve admired Billy and his amazing talent for years. Careful not to interrupt, I waited for a moment when he wasn’t in conversation. I walked up and introduced myself. I told him how much he inspired me and how much I love his work. There was a LONG silent pause, he stared at me, looked me up and down (literally), pursed his lips and walked away leaving me standing there in the dust. I wasn’t asking for an autograph, or a photo, I just wanted to share how much I admired him. I was young at the time, a “small fish in a big pond.” I’m sort of a shy personality type. It took some courage to approach him. I understand he could have had a bad day, etc., but I will never forget how rude and ungracious he was. I’m sure Mr. Porter doesn’t remember the young guy from the party. I’m older now, a “big fish in a small pond,” but even in my worst day, I always manage to say “thank you so much.” Especially if someone is being kind or paying me a compliment. |
