AMC Tour/Lunch Trip.....Page 2
Valerie & I said our goodbyes to Mona and headed back to the HOtel to rest before returning to Radio City Music Hall for the show.  We were STILL anxiously awaiting a call.  It was now 4 oclock the day before, and Vincent must not have realized that 2 girls who were not from NYC had no clue where to go, and that we must have time in the morning to get dolled up.
So Valerie broke down and left a message at Sunny's that we still had heard nothing.  Sunny called back about 5 minutes later, telling us to be patient, Vincent WOULD call.  Valerie chatted with Sunny for a while, and then I chatted with Sunny for a while, when all of the sudden....MY PHONE RANG!!!  I threw the phone which had Sunny on it at Val  (Poor thing, didn't know what hit her)  I answered the phone and it was indeed Vincent.  We confirmed details about our plans for the next day, and he said not to worry, he had left a message on the hotel message center for us.  Val says the whole time I was pacing back and forth in the room.  BUTT how could you sit still listening to that voice.  Immediately after I hung up we called in to the message center to listen to the dreamy voice, and I recorded the message for posterity.
I will type up the transcript exactly as Vincent spoke on the phone:

Helloo How you doin' , This is Vincent Valerie, how are you, This is Vincent Irizarry,  I'm sorry I know I've been wanting to get in touch with you, I tried the other day, you and Janet, but um I got your work number and I know you spoke with Sandy,    I figured that I could wait until today since you knew that I was on the ball with it (little nervous laugh) and I didn't want you to worry.  I got a message from Sandy saying you were getting a little concerned, I'm sorry about that, I just figured since you knew that I was actively trying to  pursue you (oh if that were only true LOL) that we would connect at some point before.  But anyway, I will call you on your cell phone, but  in case I don't get you there, i will leave this message too,  Meet me at  All My Children, meet me at the front door, at 320 West 66th street OK, That's the end of West 66th, I don't know if you've ever been there, it's all the way at the END where the river is, the HUDSON river, so if you get in the cab just tell them take it all the way to the end of West 66th, If they say and the river, Which river, tell them WEST 66th, not East 66th, that determines where it is ok?   Meet there at 11o'clock,  and um I will be there at 11:00 11:05 at the latest ok and then we will immediately go upstairs, after we drop off our clothes and stuff, we will go upstairs to the studios and see uh watch a little bit of rehearsals on the set OK  Alright Great,  Thanks I look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow and having a nice lunch OK Bye.
Let me just say that Val & I listened to this message over and over again rolling on the floor laughing Literally.  The thought of getting to drop our clothes off just had us in stitches, with tears streaming down our faces.  Immediately upstairs meant no foreplay - bummer!  We were laughing so hard we did our own interpretations of Liza in a hotel.  Seriously though, his voice is just as caring on the phone as it is in person, very articulate.  You could sense a nervousness to him which just seemed to make it that more cute, making him seem so human.

THE NIGHT BEFORE....
At this point we also needed to come down off of our VI high to get going to the Radio City Music Hall show.   I dare anyone to talk on the phone to Vincent, and then try to concentrate in a show, and not think of him at all,  We were like two tittering teens during the show with all of our excitement.  Where a HO mind can go in a family spectacular LOL

We finally went back to the hotel and attempted to sleep.  I  live in the country so the busy city streets alone did me in for trying to get some sleep

Random Thoughts of the nite before:
Will we see the RaiRai shrine?
Will we "drop" our clothes in his dressing room?
Who will we see on the tour?

Can Val end her search for the ultimate beauty salon?
Will he be scruffy?
God, PLEASE the jeans!
What WILL we talk about?
Will I say something dorky?
How late will he show up?
Will I get to see the VIew?
