In 2004, I was working in a fabulous jazz club here in NY. When we first opened, each of the staff named a celebrity whom we would love to meet at the club. According to our agreement, if that person came in while you worked, they were yours to look after. The day my celebrity came in for the first time, I approached his table with such excitement, Im pretty sure I chassed. Mr. Williams, Im Erin. When we first opened, we named who we wanted to look after some day, and you were my choice. (Quite certain I sounded like a gushing teenager.) Did you know what you were getting yourself into!?! he replied. WHY? My brother and I used to act out scenes from Mork and Mindy when I was a child. I loved that show! With the trademark sparkle in his eye, and a great deal of comic flare, Mr.Williams picked up the egg shaped lamp at the table, and coached me through the famous scene. He then told me that we should be on a first name basis: Ill be Mork, you can be Mindy! I took care of Robin Williams at least 5 more times after that, and went out for cocktails together once after a fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina. Each and every encounter was a memorable experience, filled with laughter. Safe journeys, Mr. Williams. And thank you for all that you brought to the world. Your sparkle will be missed. Nanoo nanoo! https://youtube/watch?v=v9g1yRXF8I8
