MICHAEL PHELPS!!!

I MET MICHAEL PHELPS!!!

Today I met Michael Phelps! He was doing a book signing for his new book @ Barnes and Noble on 5th ave. I know what you're thinking, Michael Phelps can write? Well on the cover it is titled "No Limits with Alan Abramson" LOL.

After my LAST class of Business Communications w/ Professor McCarthy, and lots, well some convincing, Mike and I headed to the MetroNorth to Grand Central. As I went to get a ticket, this random girl, was like can you get me a ticket, I can't remember my pin # and I'm late. After a while I just walked down to the platform. Only to hear "Elizabeth, you're on the wrong platform." (It was Mike). We had a nice ride down.

We proceeded to walk to Barnes & Noble and got there around 10:30, on the way we saw the line, and boy was it long! It was at 46th & Madison, meanwhile the store was at 46th & 5th on 5th. Mike saw the line and was not going to wait on it. But he did say he would stay w/ me for 20 mins, that was nice! I ended up getting 2 books, one for me, the other for the AIDS auction.

On the line I made new friends, Megan, Natalie, Shannon, Katie from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. The girls were super sweet. As we were waiting on line, this nice SUV stops literally a few feet in front of us. It was Michael Phelps' car! We were right in front of the store's side entrance. What are the chances of that?!?

Random people kept asking the girls to get their extra books signed, to the point where they were rejecting everyone. There was one lady who asked them to get 2/4 books signe for her nephews (there was a 2 book cap). Since so many people had been asking, the girls said no to be fair. Then a few mins later, she came up to us, and tried to blackmail us. She had something to the effect of, I saw you girls had your friends come on and off the line, thats not fair. Which was not true, the girls had all come together. They may have taken shifts to get coffee and such, but they all got on line togheter. We actually couldnt figure out when she had gotten on the line. She had a really big fur coat that you could not forget - lol. After a long wait, we finally got into the store, only to go onto another line.

Finally around 2, we get to meet Michael!!! He was actually really nice. It was so weird though. We got up to one lady gave her our books, then it was passed to 2 other ladies (3 total) before it got to Michael. When I finally got up there I got to speak to him for like 2 secs. He was really nice :)

As we left Barnes & Noble, the girls invited me to lunch w/ them. They were total sweethearts! :) After I departed from the girls, I realized I had a missed text from Mike and a missed call from an "Unknown ID..." I think Michael Phelps called me!!! I was trying to be logical, and the only person it could be is Michael!!! The out of nowhere Mike called me :)

Last Financial Management class tonight! :)
