a shield too :)
Friday’s premiere was epic to say the least, we had a good crowd, who enjoyed the movie very much, including John’s mom, who I have come to find out, is also a red head :).
I have two memories from Friday that will stick forever in my mind. One is Talli giggling her head off as Keith helped her into the the truck covered in silly string, and one Adrian Bugelli presenting me with a certificate from the House of Commons.
Suitably presented for framing :)
It only has my name on it, but it belongs to so many people.
