Of all the pictures in my photo-op series, this particular one is the 'Mona Lisa' of my collection. And of all the celebrities I had the chance to meet over the years, no personality can top comedian/actor/writer Larry David.
Those of you who grew up during the 1980s remember him as a short-lived member of the "Saturday Night Live" cast. But the turning point in his career came later on, when he teamed up with fellow comic Jerry Seinfeld to create the NBC sitcom "Seinfeld" (the show about 'nothing')... and the rest, they say, is history.
Shortly after "Seinfeld" left the air, Larry ventured on his own to create and star in his own series for HBO, "Curb Your Enthusiasm"... and, as they say, history repeated itself! It became another major award-winning hit for him. After seven seasons, "CYE" will be making the move to basis cable TV in a stripped, slightly censored and redubbed... Oh, let's face it; this version is a complete mutilation of the original show! It just won't be the same!
Anyway, in 2009, Larry achieved another goal in show business by starring in the Woody Allen comedy movie "Whatever Works" (in a role that Woody had originally written for the late Zero Mostel).
The last time I saw Larry David was on the panel of a new reality TV series for NBC, "The Marriage Ref" (co-created by his good buddy, Jerry Seinfeld).
This rare photo of me with Mr. David was taken several years ago at a Miami hotel. My good friend
Funimal drove us there, as Larry was on an HBO junket in Florida to promote his (then) latest season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm".
Oddly enough, the "ConFurence East" T-shirt (illustrated by Terrie Smith) caught his attention, as I gave Funimal my camera (in an attempt to catch a candid shot of the two of us).
"Are you kidding?!" exclaimed Mr. David. "You wear shirts with animal girls on them?"
"Well, I do go to 'furry cons' on occasion, Mr. David," I replied.
"Christ! Has anybody ever told you to 'get a life'?!" he responded, just as my Cuban friend snapped the shutter, and captured the moment for posterity.
It's a miracle my armpits weren't spritzing through my T-shirt - from the 'adrenaline rush' I was experiencing at that rare moment in time.
I will probably never forget this... and neither will you.
Because if you truly believe that I'd actually met Larry David, I have some prime swampland in the Everglades I would love to sell you at this time... in other words...
APRIL FOOL!!! :-P

I should have known this was an April Fools prank.
I saw the pic and said, "Wait...this is a photoshop."
I looked closer. "YES!! This was photoshopped!" I began to get angry, but I figured, I would read the description, before I made a final judgement.
Okay, okay...I was right, but you still got me, since I thought you were trying to fake one on us.

Hey, you never know. Late last year, I'd missed an opportunity of meeting "CYE" co-star Suzie Essman, when she came down for the "Miami Book Fair" - to promote her autobiography "What Would Suzie Say?". But, at least, I was able to buy a copy of said hardcovered book for quite a percentage off its cover price (at a Waldenbooks that was going out of business, two months ago).
