Simon Fuller, genious; meet me, crazy Idol fan

So I want this blog to be about TV and what I love about television. But let me digress for one blog post, as tonight turned out to be an interesting night when I randomly got to meet one of my heroes, Simon Fuller, the creator of American Idol. I was at a meet and greet for the band Sons of Sylvia as my friend Steph works for their record label and Simon Fuller happened to be there. I guess this wasn't a complete coincidence as season four Idol champ Carrie Underwood was the headlining act, but I wasn't expecting to see him there. I had actually thought of what I would say to Simon Fuller if I was ever fortunate enough to meet him. And of course these thoughts flew out of my head when I saw him standing metres away from me! But I did talk to him and I thanked him for American Idol and told him that it had changed my life. We then spoke for several minutes about the upcoming season and he was a really nice guy and thanked me for my comments. And I'm so glad that I did talk to him, that's one of the many things I love about Los Angeles, you never know who you might run into!
