VH1 Rock Honors: The Who Red Carpet

Saturday VH1 held its Rock Honors concert for The Who at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion. VH1 had everything running like a well-oiled machine. Photographers were assigned numbers and led onto the carpet in small groups, kind of like boarding Southwest airlines. I was assigned the very last number of the very last group. There was none laster than me. We were led to the back row of a riser, which caused some photographers to insist upon a new area being specially created for them. The rest of us chose a more zen approach -- I saw one of the uber-competent organizers from The Florence Henderson Show there and knew they would pull it together. Our patience was later rewarded by having the photography gods smile down upon us.

Oh, I was not one of those who were pouting. They were moved to a "better" location, while I chose to just stay with my assigned spot. As you can see, I ended up in the cat-bird seat.

As I tried to think of something to say to Pete, licking him did not even occur to me as an option. Next time I'll react more quickly (just kidding, VH1 credential people, haha, haha, ...hah)

Rosanna looked like a drag queen in her Elvira-ish duds!
