I was soooo looking forward to this footage! I knew with your editing it would be even more amazing! What I love about it is that it really captures the great time we had together. Thank you so much for doing this, and above all, thanks for the great time we spent together!

Of course! How could I let this footage lay dormant on my computer?! I hadn't looked at it all until yesterday. I'm so glad you guys encouraged me to post it! Such a great couple of days. Hope to do it again soon!

Aw....that was so sweet, guys! What a way to begin a Saturday! Such a surprising and overwhelming greeting! You can't believe how close I was (in my neighborhood Panera) to shouting out loud, "Hi, guys! Good to see y......." (oh yeah, they can't hear me!)....especially nearly 24 hours after we all saw each other (and spoke) for our Meet!!

I'd have loved to have joined you, as, except for a couple visits to Tijuana, and waving at Canada from The Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls, I've never been out of the country!

Dan, you had the question of the day....I've always wanted to ask Andy why the reliance on fags (hey, I know my Brit lingo/"Bringo"), when he's so health/body-conscious! I guess we got the answer we coulda guessed! I may leave another comment....but, I wanted to get in here and thank all 3 of you for such an unexpected and overwhelmingly sweet "shout-out/kiss-out" to me! So, right back atcha, Dan😘'n'Mark😘! Sorry, Andy....you don't get one. You get 84, but, I'll be emoji discreet to a degree, and do this:😘😘😘. Oh, like THAT Andy-crush cat's being let outta the bag!!šŸ˜‰Thanks again, guys.....that'll keep me afloat, easily, for the coming week!

Thank you, Brad! 84 kisses back at you! Wish you could have joined us!

As for the fags (lol), I should clarify I smoke as much as possible when I’m outdoors so I don’t have to leave tables and rooms as much when indoors, so that would explain why you see me smoking so much in this footage. But then again, as I said, I’d be a disgusting person without it, so… you gotta choose your vice!

Yeah, I get that.....I do appreciate your thoughtful "game plan," not only for others, but, so you don't disrupt your "indoor life" as much. One story I've never told, but it explains how I was never tempted to even want, or try, to smoke: Clint & I were around 8, I guess (call it 1963-ish), and Mom'n'Dad went out, leaving us with a sitter, who happened to be male. Apropos of nothing really, but, if he was gonna do something "inappropriate," the list is long of other things he coulda done!

He gave us both a cigarette....lit! Needless to say, Clint & I got various degrees of sick, and except for Clint taking up grass-smoking later on, in L.A./late-'70s, he and I both never smoked, or wanted to! To this day, I still wonder if that guy MEANT to turn us off to smoking, rather than trying to get us hooked! You do you, Boobie! That's all us Andy-adorers would want, anyway!šŸ¤—šŸ’–

I was around a lot of people who smoked when I was younger but never wanted to take up the habit. All three of my mother's husbands smoked and, well, they each ended up with long-term illnesses that I didn't want to get so I avoided it.

Andres's avatar

Fair enough. Me, with my anxiety and all my other "-isms", if it's not tobacco, it's a lot of other things I can't legally say, so... choose your poison, methinks! 😁

Dan Pal's avatar

Totally understandable! No judgement here!

Andres's avatar

Such a good deterrent! Wish someone had done that to me too! Too late now 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the story!

Dan Pal's avatar

Aw! Glad to hear it! Thanks for inspiring me to pull all of this together. I immediately went through my video files after yesterday's meeting and realized I had more than I thought. So great to meet those guys in person! Such a special day!

Brad Kyle's avatar

Glad you aired this, Dan! Thanks again! Hell, I may cross-post this! That's so cool you had Andy taking y'all on a personalized walking tour of his favorite haunts! I loved that random L.A. guy being open enough to say "hi"! As Andy has said, Londoners are verboten, apparently, from speaking to "strangers" (it just isn't done! How RUDE!)....so, the fact that that gentleman said ANYTHING tipped us off that "he's not from around here"! šŸ¤—s all around, ya'll!

Dan Pal's avatar

Yes! Feel free to cross-post it! It's not often we get these live joint collaborations!

Such a unique beginning to our trip! I’m glad we got to meet and spend time with Andy as it added much to the our time in London. ā¤ļø
