I will just say that he was really good, the lights were dim, there were candles and it was kind of startling to be in a mini-version of MTV Unplugged, if only for 30 minutes. Disconcerting to be among women who were crying, though. But good for them, I&#8217;m sure it was a dream come true.<\/p>\n<p>The music ended, and then Bryan (we&#8217;re close now, I&#8217;m going with the first-name only) sat at a table &#038; signed things. Because we were at a &#8220;reserved&#8221; table, we were given a CD. Good thing! I was only half-joking when I said I&#8217;d have him sign my boob. Then, someone else gave me their CD, so we thought we&#8217;d get it signed &#038; bring it back for Cap&#8217;n Jim, our boss, the best boss EVER.  So we&#8217;re standing there at the table, and there&#8217;s little Bryan (he is a very small man) and I am behind a SuperFan. She is about to pass out from the excitement. She set her camera down, and I offered to take a picture of her &#038; Bryan, cool dude that he is, told her to come behind the table for a side-by-side head shot. She would&#8217;ve had an orgasm but that would&#8217;ve taken too much time. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, then it was my turn &#038; I gave him the first CD &#038; said, &#8220;To Jim&#8221;. He&#8217;s writing away, and then one of the host\/handler people is falling all over herself asking if he&#8217;d rather have a silver sharpie, they got him one, and (because I apparently feel like I should touch all of the celebrities I meet, I put my hand on Martha Stewart&#8217;s shoulder last year) I grab his little bicep (lightly, he&#8217;s little, remember) and say, &#8220;Are you high-maintenance, Bryan?&#8221; And he (very sincerely) says, &#8220;NO! No, not at all, now who should I do the second one too?&#8221; And I say, &#8220;To Jennifer!&#8221; And now I start babbling and feeling like I am a Speedy Wit but it&#8217;s all in very slow-motion. &#8220;I don&#8217;t answer to Jim anymore. Not since the operation.&#8221; Bryan&#8217;s head shoots back up with a puzzled look. &#8220;You know. The operation from Jim to Jennifer. Well, No. I mean, I really DIDN&#8217;T. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!&#8221; And I hear peals of Kristin laughter behind me and TO HIS CREDIT, Bryan Adams looks at me (and my bosoms) and says, &#8220;Well, it was VERY successful.&#8221;  (and for the record, he did not BELIEVE ME, but I would also wager he thought I was flippin&#8217; INSANE.) As we staggered away, I said to Kristin, &#8220;Did I really just tell Bryan Adams that I&#8217;d had a sex-change operation? OH MY GOD!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mmmmhmm. CLASSY.
