[Harp-L] RE: famous people and happy new year






Anne Heche was at the show. After I gave her the CD to look at she
said thanks and began to turn away. I understand this "type" of
person often gets and expects stuff for free but I didn't like how
she assumed I was just giving it to her. I asked her for $15 and she
gave me $20.
