You'll never guess...

Today began like an otherwise normal day. Well things don’t always turn out as they first appear.

Here we go…..We decided to take a stroll before dinner tonight down into the stylish Soho area of London. We passed our usual sights and smells (roasted chestnuts and stale beer) and made our way through the busy crowds, and post pub crew towards our favorite dining destination.

I had stopped for a moment to take money out of a cash point, when Annick noticed a long line of black limousines, and other exotic cars. Well, let’s check it out! I said.

It turned out that there was an event going on at the London Hard Rock Café for the promotion of the new Rocky movie. Oddly enough, there wasn’t the usual London crowd of people in the area as it was still pretty early (5:30 pm).

As we approached the roped off area in front of the restaurant, we could see the reporters and groupies getting geared up for the big night.

That’s when it happened. In her friendly style, Annick began to talk to a security guard, who was standing with a woman in a dark suite along the edge of the ropes. To make a long story short – apparently for Hard Rock openings they allow some “normal” people in (20 or so). I guess she thought we were “normal enough”. Who cares, we were in!

It was pretty dead, with faces of people we didn’t recognize, but then around 7 pm it began to get pretty interesting. Thank goodness we have proof.

I think the tabloids would pay for this awesome picture Annick took.....

Believe it or not me and Morgan Freeman...he doesn't look too happy to be having his picture taken though...

Annick and John Travolta...



What a night! Too bad we were so underdressed. John Travolta was bugging Annick and told her she looked like she should be in the Rocky movie!

A night to remember. Like I said, things don't always turn out like they first appear... thank you Madame Tussauds! (click on the link).
