Meeting Craig in Vegas
Among the Craig Ferguson fans who had a chance to meet our fearless leader during his three-night run of stand up comedy performances last weekend was the RSA’s @sjump54, who sent us her story:

[stextbox id=”custom”]Seeing and meeting Craig Ferguson in Las Vegas this past weekend was a dream come true. I spent the weekend with @colleen_byrne and @Diane4forMail. We such fun! We arrived Friday and went to the show that night. Josh Robert Thompson opened for Craig and did a fantastic job. His impressions are spot on! Then, as he does, Craig introduced himself from backstage and then bounded on stage. His energy is electrifying. The crowd was good and everyone seemed to be laughing like crazy. It was over too soon.

The next day the three of us went on a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. We flew to the Skywalk built by the Hualapai Indian Tribe. I highly recommend this trip to anyone. It was breathtaking.

Saturday night was our meet and greet show. I had noticed a small poster for Craig’s show in the elevator. Since Saturday was Craig’s last show, I decided to “liberate” him, and we took him to dinner with us.

Saturday night’s show was even better than Friday’s. The crowd was bigger and more into both Josh and Craig. Both men varied their acts enough to make you laugh even more. And Craig made himself laugh twice. So job well done.

It was very interesting to watch Craig during the meet and greet. He was unfailing kind to everyone even though he was obviously exhausted. It was quick, but he talked to everyone. I had him sign the poster I acquired (seen above), and he laughed when I told him how I got it. He was very kind to @colleen_byrne and @Tb40Too, another RSA member we met.

It was a night to remember forever.[/stextbox]
