anderson cooper

last night my friend and i went to a live taping of Anderson Cooper 360 at Musician's Village in the upper 9th ward. Musician's Village is basically a neighborhood of houses built by Habitat for Humanity. so anyway, anderson loves new orleans and broadcast from here in honor of the 4th anniversary of katrina.

i do not usually get star struck but OMG! not only is he gorgeous (even more so in person!) but he is super nice, smart, and professional. it was so much fun to watch him do his show. AND we got a picture with him afterwards. such bliss.

the first summer i was here he was still coming down to new orleans to do broadcasts a couple times a month. i remember thinking to myself that surely, at some point, i would get a chance to encounter him. and now i have. checked it off my list this morning!
