Janna L.'s Reason to Love Elevators

It was, as I recall (which I do VERY well) a hot day in Vegas. The 9th of August, summer of '94. My mom and I had just arrived there the day before as a pit stop while traveling to California to see my brother. After Vegas....we were going to Hoover dam..Grand Canyon..etc. I had heard (from a source that shall remain nameless) that Michael was in the City of Sin starting to prepare for the opening of EFX which was still..ohhh...about...7 months away. Anyway...I was across from the MGM Grand, staying in the Excalibur Hotel. The night we arrived in Vegas, I just kept staring out the window and setting my gaze on the huge lion and just kept mumbling to myself that Michael Crawford was somewhere within that emerald green building. (And I can tell you..the thought of it was driving me insane!) I had trouble sleeping that night...the green lights were beckoning to me! But...finally..morning came! I dragged poor mother across that...big...stair..type...thing..*blinks* anyway..I looked...EVERYWHERE....and no sign of that certain curly-haired Brit we all love and adore. I grumbled and was VERY dissappointed as my mother dragged me into the Grand's theme park. We stayed there for about 2 hours...yay..yahoo...rides...THEN....we headed back...and..IT hit me! This VERY strange feeling right in my stomach..I KNEW I had to check out the Grand theatre..ONE MORE TIME. I sprinted back, I was shaking and sweating a little. There was this couple ahead of me..peeking into the theatre through a crack in the door..they soon went on there way. I could feel my heart pounding furiously in my throat...I was sure I would choak! I opend the door a crack with a shaking hand..and I saw HIM! He was coming straight towards me...I slammed the door shut and just stood there...with this dazed look on my face.my mom caught up with me by then..she asked what was wrong. I just pointed to the door..and mumbles somehing to the nature of: "He's...in there...he's coming out!" And she replied: "Yeah right!" Then...the door...swwung open...and...my mother did a double take..and I reeled at the sight. I could not believe my eyes! My mother said something to him..and he replied. (I can not recall because I was just standing there in a daze) Then...he started walking away. I quickly shook my head and came to my senses! I wasn't about to let him get away! I followed him in hot pursuit throughout the casino When he finally reached the V.I.P elevator...I grabbed the courage and yelled out his name while running through the doors which held the way to the VIP elevators. (Right past a gaurd too...with a big gun. hehehe) I called out his name again and asked him he would sign my CD. He got off the elevator with THAT GRIN! (Missing his elevator, by the way) He signed my MALW CD...and we had a delightful short conversation. Then....it was all too soon over. And before I knew it...we were both walking away from each other, me back to the Excalibur, he back up to his room. On the rest of the vacation...the Hoover Dam.....the Grand Canyon....NOTHING could compaire to those too, too short 8 minutes.
