Meeting Mychael Danna In The Men's Room

So, the last few weeks, I've gone to the AMPAS film composer conference. It's been very interesting hearing master composers discuss their lives and craft. Lalo Schiffrin, Bruce Broughton, Jan A. P. Kaczmarek and more. One of my favorite film composers was one of the panelists: Mychael Danna. And of course, I passed him in the men's room afterwards and I just HAD to say something. Yep. In the men's room. So smooth. My brain said "Never talk to someone in the rest room," but I just went right into auto-pilot. He was very gracious and friendly though.
