When Harry Met Stiletto

When Harry Met Sally is one of my very favorite movies of all time. I’ve seen it about a million times and am totally in love with it for a few reasons:

• I. Am. Sally.   Everything on the side?   Check.    Obsessive compulsive with a hint of endearing?   Check.   Embarssing significant other in public places?  Check, check and check.
• One of the main songs, “It Had To Be You” was one of my parents favorite songs.   I have so many memories of growing up watching the two of them dancing to that song in our living room…I always wanted to be fancy like that.  Sadly I ended up with two left feet and a husband that rocks the “white mans overbite” on the dance floor.   Fred and Ginger, we are not.
• I kind of gave up on the classics I grew up with after realizing I’d never grace a dance floor and started listening to to things like “Ice, Ice, Baby” (don’t judge) which provided me the opportunity to move about in a more random fashion and call it dancing.     That is, until “When Harry Met Sally” came out and I fell head over heels in love with the soundtrack and more importantly the voice behind it all, Harry Connick, Jr.

Saying I’m in love with Harry might be the understatement of the century.

I mean, look at that face…

…those blue eyes, that voice….that Cajun accent…add the fact that he can tickle the ivories and um, well….oh my…

Harry is a guy I’ve always wanted to meet.   I’m not sure how I’d react to be honest…given my past record of stalking and totally inappropriate behavior around any type of celebrities, let alone one I’ve been in love with for-evah.    

I guess I’m about to find out though…here’s the scoop, and it’s been very hard for me to keep this quiet for the month or so I’ve known…

Harry Connick,  Jr. is making an appearance at Blissdom this year!

::Pausing for a moment while you faint…::

It’s okay, I’ve been a little weak in the knees since I heard!    Can you believe it?!?

There’s still time for you to join us (me and Harry that is…wink, wink!).    Go here to buy your tickets. Not only will you get the chance to be part of a very small audience of women listening to an unbelievable, once in a lifetime private concert, you will get the chance to spend the weekend with a bunch of really amazing women and learn some great stuff.

Hey, they are even letting me host a panel.   I KNOW. Try to contain yourselves, or at least resolve not to heckle, okay?

In the meantime, I’m leaving you with this little clip of Harry….because he and I are totally going to be on a first name basis after this, right?    Hope to see you there!

..and yes, I totally plan on leaning over the piano while he sings….one of you will bail me out of jail for stalking right???
