SSSusan:
Awww, Sheryll, Alla, Carol, Mary Ann & Potioncat, you all are so 
sweet!  Thanks for the good wishes!  And gee, a party with my very 
own dangerous, mysterious, smoking beverage *and* Alan Rickman in the 
flesh?  Wow!!  Wouldn't that be something.  

Sigh. So I guess the margarita I had this evening will have to 
suffice, along with a little surfing of AR on IMDb. ;)

SSSusan:
Sheryll, can you believe it's possible?  An AR performance that 
*neither* you nor I had heard of?  I wouldn't have believed it... but 
I see that 'cat is correct.

I own Barchester Chronicles -- and every other AR film/TV performance 
(such as Fallen Angels) that I could get my hands on -- but I wasn't 
familiar with Revolutionary Witness.  $60 is a bit steep, but maybe 
if I save my pennies, by Christmas I can get a copy. :)  Along with 
Bottle Shock, which I haven't yet ordered, and Nobel Son, which I 
missed in the theater and am going to have to get on DVD.

Sheryll, one of these years I *am* going to get there when you & 
Amanda have your Rickmanfest.  And I'll drag Jen over from Austin for 
at least part of it. ;)  

Thanks, everybody!

birth year) with Mr. A.S.P. Rickman
