June 1, I'm waiting in the hotel lobby to meet up with my agent, Lynnette Novak of The Seymour Agency and some of my agency siblings for drinks, when it dawns on me that I had signed with my agent during the pandemic and I've only ever met her on zoom. Yikes! I sit down next to a lady and ask if she's waiting for Lynnette and she isn't. Oops. So I move on and sit down and wonder if this other lady is one of my agency siblings but I don't dare ask. And of course she is. Sigh, missed opportunity to chat.
Anyway, I finally met my agent, in real life! Here we are having drinks in NYC. It was lovely to meet up with people. It also made me realize how few professional/industry social events I've attended since the pandemic.
