We tried to decide the best way for Matt Drudge to smuggle the t-shirt into the dinner. He had to go through Secret Service security checks so a big bulge in his tuxedo pocket was out. JulieRNR21 folded the shirt up and began unbuttoning Matt Drudge's tuxedo shirt right in the middle of the street. She was intent on putting it under his shirt, but it was still too bulky and Matt said they would think he was carrying a gun. JulieRNR21 reassured Matt the whole time she was undressing him, "Don't worry, I could be your grandmother." JulieRNR21 has lots of tales for her grandchildren after this evening.
Matt finally decided that he would try to put the t-shirt on under his dress shirt so he could flash Elian's picture later.

Angelwood....I still can't believe that I had the nerve to start unbuttoning his shirt.....but I was determined to help him get it into the Dinner to 'flash' Reno & anyone else he could!
What fun we had that night...I also remember our FREEP of the 'demonic duo' who came to the dinner in separate limos! Remember how we all sprinted down to the corner as the entourage turned down a side street probably to avoid passing our corner? However, we made sure that they saw us!
