So, as I wrote below about our claims to fame ( go read that one first) I thought, how fitting to tell you a little story we heard as soon as we picked up the Browns from the airport!!!
So, Sylvia & Dan just went on a 17 day trip to the Meditteranean and had a good time! The first story as we are pulling out of the airport is that of them getting on the boat. After Dan introducing himself to the steward, she is amazed of who he is & apparantly told all her coworkers that she met Dan Brown! He laughs and goes on about his trip!..... There is more!
So they get off the boat after 2 weeks and go to their hotel in Rome, at the Intercontinental. He goes and checks in, tells them he is Dan Brown and gets up to his room with such amazement of their apparent upgrade to a Posh room! Wooo! How nice they think as they get a knock at the door. They are awaiting the "we've made a mistake" but instead get a package delivered. So Dan opens it and finds a letter with letterhead from Santa Monica. It reads something like, we heard you were in Rome and wanted to send you this book....yadda yadda yadda, signed Tom Hanks!
The well versed Europeans are apparently, big readers, but don't really research the author behind the great books they read. Dan Brown of Midland, Texas writes a lot, but by way of quotes and things concerning Valves and things of that such, but definitely not The DaVinci Code!
So needless to say, I am like...Well, did you keep the letter? Did you keep the book, you have to get it framed!! How awesome is this? They never put 2+2 together! His win! Now I actually have a BIG CLAIM TO FAME, my father in law!!! (Tor, eat your heart out!) Our Dan Brown is the one in the picture with Baryn!! (Obviously!)
By the way, the ebay auction will start out at 1.3 Million dollars and then will go up in 100$ increments! Just Kidding!
But how COOL! Why doesn't this kinda stuff happen to me?
