My cousin Kenn texted me with one of the best messages I’ve received thus far, “Wolf Blitzer just acknowledged your existence!”
This is my favorite piece so far. Cricket and I both wore ties for the occasion because we took it REAL serious-like, and I met Larry King in the hallway! If I had been smart, I would’ve brought a camera and taken some pictures to put right HERE. Oops. Thank you, screen grab!
Link for now, will try to figure out how to embed later:
Andrea,
I love this story.
I have my 25 year class reunion in August. You and Cricket could go with me and be my entertainment directors.
Good for you, standing outside of the circle of life and coloring outside of the lines at your 10-year reunion. Anyone that has an issue with this is just mad, cause they got played and thought they knew you, but really didn’t.
I remember I was the only guy with long hair at my 10 year – I had about 8 people ask me if I had any weed – “nope no I am sorry I don’t.”
I wonder what Larry K. thought when he passed you in the hallway? Dang interns? or Nice Ties? or I don’t want to interview them, I’ll have Joy do it.
Looking forward to your ‘movie’.
Andrea (& Cricket),
I think your ruse was an awesome idea! Kudos to you for your creativity.
And for the guy at the end of the video who seemed truly offended by it all, I say “grow up and learn to laugh a little”. Life has too few funny moments, so the folks that were upset by this are in for a long road. Take humor where you can find it.
I wish I had the creativity to engineer a stunt like that. Nicely done!
you guys are awesome. my heroes. bravo!
I just saw your CNN piece.
Those who don’t like to go to their high school reunion must have really hated high school. I think your idea was creative, but why a stripper?
I think I know why, because you value sensationalism and shock value. You hate promotion, but yet the substitute you sent in your place was all about promotion.
“Hi I’m Andrea (WOW, I never realized how attractive you were), and I’m a stripper (Shock Value)”
It seems like you had a fun, and you did it for your own benefit. Unfortunately, to your fellow high school folks you come off as being a liar and using them as a pawn in your game of deceit for you own benefit (or promotion).
As for the comment of “Grow up and laugh a little”, we all say that when are the perpetrators of a joke not when we are the victims.
Personally, I think you punked out, but hey, hiding that fear behind a good joke is a great way of feeling like you are in control. Just remember that Karma takes great notes.
=)
Hi. love this! You are in the Swedish tabloides for this story and you are a very creative girl to come up with somethings like this! Go girl!
You Rock I love what you did!! Did you get your camera crew to catch the expressions on their faces? I should have done that on our show but there were no defibulators around on the island. Great clip of the week for me!! Great job hahaha!!!
I loved your piece, forget the frikkin naysayers who are too stifled to get a good kick out of you punking out your reunion – it was frikkin brilliant!!
Absolutely Brilliant!
Brilliant and inspirational. If I ever decide to idolize someone, you’ll both be at the top of my list.
As for the comment of “Karma takes great notesâ€, we all say that when we are the victims. (Meaning: choose to be Victims with a capital V)
That was hilarious! Loved it! You also looked fantastic in you CNN interview. Good luck and hope to see more from you.
Love it! Where do I send my check so you can finish the film?
Hilarious!!!! Creative!!!! Brilliant!!!! Now that’s a reunion…I heart self-promotion!!!
Andrea and Cricket,
I think you guys are great! I wonder if there would be a long list of social events you both could ‘work’ on. hmmm … That is of course you have completed the film. I am looking forward to seeing it and future brilliant work from you both.
Hi…love it…but one question…when did this really happen? Because it is 2009 and you graduated in 95….so….is it really the 10 year reunion? Maybe the 14 year reunion?
I wondered that too because when they said 10 year reunion I didn’t really expect to hear 1995. Ours was several years ago and I missed it due to being 8 months pregnant and sick but I probably wouldn’t have went if I had really been able.
My assumption would be that it’s just taken them time to start piecing it together or to get it promoted.
I think what you guys did was creative and brilliant. I don’t see that any long lasting bad effect could come from that so I don’t know what the big deal is with gripey dude about kharma. You wanted to make people laugh so one would think that would bring good kharma wouldn’t it?
Signed a fan,
Another 31 year old Andrea fellow class member of 1995 though in a different school lol
What a rotten thing to do to your classmates. Didn’t your mommy give you enough attention?
