Here's a pic of Kris and I at the Philadelphia "Rocky Balboa" premier. I picked her up from CHOP and he headed downtown to the Prince Music Theatre. I was told by my buddy Paddy Mac to get there around 6:30 p.m. He had warned me prior the event was being hadled poorly and he'd put me on the list, but warned us that there may be some hiccups.

Hiccups there were. Of course, our names were not on the list. Minor issue. The nice lady at the will call table told us to stand off to the side and she'd get us in at 7pm. When you're hungry, 30 minutes standing outside can seem like a long time. Kris was getting a tad perturbed, but 7pm came, they gave us our tickets (which were pretty good).

We ended up sitting between three people who were in the film, Burt Young (Uncle Paulie) Max Kellerman (Max Kellerman) and Geraldine Hughes (little Marie). The movie was solid - obviously, not the best Rocky by any stretch, but solid none the less.

Kris was really into it, which she let the CBS3 cameras know about it, when they interviewed us on our way out. Kris was a little disapointed to watch the news that night only to find out they had cut our interview from the segment. Oh well! Guess she'll have to wait until the next premier.
