Guess Who I Met on Saturday??

I've been saying since the day he got here, that I had to meet him. I was sick of waiting for a chance encounter, so Saturday night after the talent show, I just walked up and introduced myself to Werner Herzog. You may recognize the name as the guy who made Grizzly Man, a well-known documentary released last year. I'm more interested in meeting him as he made a not-so-well-known movie called White Diamond in 2004. The movie is based on a novel flying device being flown over none other than KAIETEUR FALLS in Guyana, where I just happened to visit earlier this year. Of all the places!! What's even crazier, is that when I was at Kaieteur Falls, the workers told us stories of this film crew who had been there to make a film and how they were in it. When I first heard this, I thought "I wonder what kind of low-budget flop movie this will be?" When I mentioned to Werner that I had recently been to Kaieteur, he asked if I had seen his movie. I told him I hadn't had a chance to see it, and then he offered to lend me HIS copy!!
