And what was the answer?

Do you remember anything else in particular from Al's Q&A?

Darn. I should have stalked you after the show. Just kidding.
I had to get home and pick-up kids from the sitter so as soon as it was done, we left.

Btw, my camera got goofed up in my purse and it recorded videos instead of pictures during Al's Q & A. Anyone know how to post a 30 second video here? Or are we not allowed to do that here?

Al's response to my question was "at least a dozen I think..."

Al also revealed that Michael Richards actually considered leaving the movie multiple times due to... I can't remember what they called it, unfortunately. Yeah, Al hung out for a little while in the alley behind the theatre after the 4:00 screening, but left with the family to go out to eat before the next screening.

Had a great conversation with Al. He was incredibly generous to me when I asked about all the things I wanted him to sign... I still felt awfully guilty about having anything more than one item for him to sign, but he didn't seem particularly bothered by it.

I believe Al said it was Bell's Palsy, which "is a dysfunction of cranial nerve VII that results in inability to control facial muscles on the affected side" (according to Wikipedia).

Why didn't I post the video to YouTube? Because it's only 23 seconds long. I have some pics from the afternoon Q & A that I'll try and post tomorrow. Cut me some slack, o.k.? I'm chronically ill and I do the best I can.

Oh yeah, my dad asked Al if he was actually going to be at the after-party tonight, he said, "No, but my spirit will be there!"

Better than zero seconds, if you ask me. But please, take your time.

Had a blast, got to get things signed by Al after each show. We tried to convince him to at least pop into the party. He said he had originally wanted to go, but that he wanted to spend time with his family. Nina is adorable, and Suzanne is so sweet and friendly to Al's fans! He spent time talking to everyone who would wait in line, and was probably in the alley for 10-20 minutes after both shows. The afterparty was a blast, I had heard that Jay was considering going, but have no idea whether he actually showed or not, because I wimped out at midnight.
