My children love Corbin Bleu and – if you are a parent, then you know – he gained his rockstar status with "High School Musical" and "Jump In" in our house, anyway.
"How would you guys like to meet him?"
Imagine their surprise (not to mention, mine) when I received an invitation to go to NYC and attend a presentation of Disney Xtreme Digital and…oh my goodness, it’s really him and I wonder if he really is that cute and nice, in person…and the launch of his new album, yesterday.
"You serious?!?"
Like the heart attack each of my daughter’s feigned over the idea of being in the same room with…GULP…Corbin Bleu.
Oh, and holy Hannah Montana…LOOK…he really is that cute,
nice and not at all adverse to hanging out with us, you know, lesser
mortals and their children!
Oh, and…um…DUDE…I know you are getting paid to take your pictures…but, these are my kids where talking about and you could have moved your arm or, you know, over just a little!
Even the boy could dig all the "private time" and attention that
they were getting, not to mention being told to, "Please touch" and "Go
ahead and play," with all their, you know, digital stuff.
Even the older girls took time out from their star-gazing and
registered for their own sites, with my permission – only after having
received an email, just this morning, notifying me that they had done
so – of course!
But, soon it was back to chatting with Corbin for Thing Two.
And…check it…Thing One is this close to being in a Disney
365 commercial with Corbin Bleu, which they were filming, right there,
in front of her and the rest of my crew! Who were also filmed. But, who
cares. Whether they end up on the cutting room floor, or not.
"I love your Wildcat colors!"
Corbin Bleu was impressed by Little Man’s outfit and that he was
wearing the movie’s school colors (red and white) purely by
accident..shhhh…don’t tell him, ‘kay!
Here we are having lunch with the reluctant rockstar and
his…um…quiet and modest when it comes to taking
photographs…uh…stage-mommy.
The kids and I had a great day, together and – although, daddy
couldn’t come because someone’s gotta work, right – don’t get me wrong,
we are so NOT accustomed to leading such rockstar lives in real life.
Hi, Heather – no, not that one – thanks for inviting us and we had a terrific time, by the way! I was so happy to be able to give my guys the opportunity to at least feel a little, you know, special.
After all – commuting by train during rush hour (both ways) and
after having walked 40+ city blocks – it ain’t easy being the kid of a
mommyblogger. But, some times it can be sorta, you know, cool.
"Thanks so much for coming and don’t forget your goodie bags!"
Okay, this was soooo cewl!
