A Jimmy Kimmel love story

Two months ago I decided to go see Jimmy Kimmel live and boy am i glad i did because that's where i met my boyfriend Dan. That's right. I saw his MI badge (Musicians Institute, he goes to my school) and that started our conversation. We sat and talked during the show, had a drink after the show, played vintage videogames at his place and 2 weeks later we were boyfriend&girlfriend.

To celebrate that, we went to see Jimmy Kimmel together. It was exactly two months after we´d met.  Jim Parsons from the TV show The Big Bang Theory was his guest and i thought it would be cool if we bought Bazinga t-shirts (his phrase) and would wear them. Boy did that work! Not only did we get the best seats in the house, we were on TV, we became a part of the segment. Jimmy Kimmel pointed to us....



and in the end.....after Jim Parsons told a hilarious story of interaction with a fan he pointed out how great the distance between us was and the camera was placed on us. Our 5 seconds of fame.



What you didn´t see was him coming over to us, shaking our hands and thanking us. That was amazing. We met Jim Parsons.

To top it off, we also won 150 dollar gift certificate at Morton´s steakhouse and 150 dollars worth of gas at Shell. Amazing night!!!!

And i got an article and in the news back at home because of it
