Today Was My Lucky Day!
By Angie
I was walking up Beverly Boulevard on August 28, 2000 and as my friend and I passed this restaurant I looked over and made eye contact with David TOM!!! I started trembling. There was this bush thing and I nudged my friend over and I go- Do you know who that was? She said no, but he sure was hot. I said, That was David Tom. She goes uh-huh, no way. I said I am 100% sure it was him. Well, my friend thinks we should eat there so we get a seat outside right beside DT and his friend.
When he was getting up to leave I got up also. His chair nudged me- I go, "David"- he turns around and says, "Oh- I am so sorry." Then he goes to walk off. He just thought he had hit me with his chair. Then I said, "Can I talk to you for a minute?" He said, "Yeah- Of course." I told him I came all the way from KY to see him. He goes, "Really? WOW. That's great." Then I asked him if he was tired yesterday(The Fan Event) He said, "Gosh you wouldn't believe how tired. I was really tired." Then I said, "The announcer asked for DT's table to give a shoutout b/c everyone was looking for you. Then they said you left". He said, "Yeah, sorry about that, but I drove with my sister and she had an appointment and I had to take her". At some point I told him I was Angie. Then I told him I sent a gift for him by Jess Walton. He was like, "Oh- I won't see her today, but I will tomorrow. Thanks you very much though". Then I asked if I could have a picture with him and he smiled real big and said, "Yeah, absolutely". Then his friend goes, "Let me take the picture".
So he gets close and puts his arm around me. His friend snaps the picture and David goes,"Whoa- man wait. You gotta take another one." Then he takes off the hat. Then he took one with me and Audrey. Then he said, "I would stay and talk, but I have to get back to work." I said, "Oh you're working today?" and he said, "Yeah." Then we both said nice to meet you. At some point I said something about being nervous and he said, "Oh- don't be."Then Audrey and I told him about me winning the bid on his Tommy Trunks with sharks and the sweater he had on when he passed out in the snow. He said he and Heather looked at the auction items, but that he didn't see his sweater. Then he said bye and so did his friend.
They got in David's 4-Runner and David honked as he was driving offand he and his friend both waved. Then the restaurant people came out and said who was he? Is he an actor? I was like duh. But they didn't know him. It was the most fabulousday of my life.
David Tom was very a very sweet and down to Earth guy.
