Ashamed Again.

Where: outside of the Clay Theater, Fillmore Street, San Francisco, at the premiere of Richard Wong's Option 3.

Who: Richard Wong, H.P. Mendoza, and one excited fanboy who's hung up on his friend over the cell phone once he saw Wong and Mendoza outside the theater (me).

Me [walks over to the two who are deep in conversation]: Hi -- I'm gonna interrupt and be a total fanboy and just wanted to say I really really loved Colma.

Both: Thanks, thanks.

Me: And I'm really looking forward to the new movie.

Both: Thanks, thanks, we hope you like it.

Me [to Mendoza]: You actually posted on my blog once.

Mendoza [glimmer of recognition]: Yeah, I was shaming you into seeing it!

Wong: Oh, I saw that. You were going to a concert.

Me: Yeah, I couldn't go to the premiere because I had a Belle and Sebastian concert that evening.

Mendoza: [bigger glimmer of recognition]: You're the Wily Filipino!

Me [big toothy grin]: Yes!

Wong: We have a Colma: The Musical singalong tomorrow, you should go.

Me: I know! I can't make it though.

Mendoza: You have a concert.

Me [ashamed]: Um. Yes. I have a concert. [slinks away]
