I agree about exact locations. I mean even if the original story included "A starbucks on the Upper West Side", I think that would be fine. Since there are tons of Starbucks. And hey, it could be one of the several Starbucks in the theater district area. 
Let's let the woman drink her coffee (or frappawhatevers) without stalkers.

Absolutely!!
One is a chance encounter, which is fun and lucky.
The other is stalking, folks.
Besides, it's so easy to see her and talk with her after an evening show. Why disturb her private life?

Agreed... I mean, does it really matter what she drinks and where? What does matter? Where she performs, and how we can get tickets to see it!
LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO MABEL!!

I agree...she shouldn't have to worry about going somewhere because a bunch of people, even fans who mean well, are waiting for her.

Starbucks' coffee does not appeal to me. It has an aftertaste-a bad sign-too many times for me to pay for it,and it's oily.
Does New York not have a strong local coffeehouse culture? Is that why there are so many Starbucks in the city? It just seems...odd that it's so prevalent there.
New Orleans has an interesting relationship with coffee-a good local coffee culture. It's the French-and Spanish-history. Whenever I go to PJ's (a local chain that was targeted by Starbucks) and see people going to Starbucks,I assume they're tourists and don't know about the strong local coffee culture.
An entirely self-serving motion....two reasons why I will never love Starbucks as much as I love these two:
Coffee in a French Quarter courtyard:

*My* Cafe du Monde:

Cafe du Monde-fun to go late at night/early in the morning-you see all kinds of people,from those getting ready to do business at the farmers' market,to those who have partied too much on Bourbon and need to sober up pretty quickly,to those having coffee and beignets before attending morning mass at St. Louis Cathedral. Children are welcome and when you go,you are reminded once again that there's no place like New Orleans. And there's usually-not all the time- a jazz musician (yay!) or a mime (well,ok) or a balloon artist (admit it,it's fun to get a specially shaped balloon) entertaining nearby.

To the anonymous person who thinks we're uptight, I have to say I don't agree. We do try to maintain a certain tone of respect and discretion here. I think that's the preference of most of the people who read and post on this board. I certainly appreciate the civility. If it seems too restrictive at times, that's because of the whole "slippery slope" phenomenon. If high standards of decorum aren't maintained, things have a way of getting out of hand and deteriorating very quickly (especially on the internet). Look at the questions on the Gypsy forum. There's no malice involved, but some very young kids who haven't developed good judgement yet are asking inappropriate questions. We try to steer clear of that here. I have to add that, of course, I'm not the spokesperson for anyone or anything--these are just my personal views.

Karen: They may be YOUR personal views, but you just expressed, better than I ever could, MY personal views also.
To Anon: we are not really uptight but rather, just as Karen and the others said, respectful of our chosen star's space and privacy. If you want less "uptight", check out some of the other "fan" sites (which, to be fair to you, you probably have) and see how smarmy and -well-just plain uncomfortable some are.
Sorry you want more from us, but, trust me, you'll not get it here.

Jean's aviatar is from an episode of the Carol Burnett Show that Bernadette was on.  It was actually one of those really long, one story shows (similar to the Curly McDimple one), rather than 3 or 4 different character sketches. That episode also featured Bernadette in a fantastic musical number.

Give the prize to Christine--I figured at least 2 or so of you would know what it is from. Carol Burnett Show, Feb. 16, 1974, a mini-musical salute to Harry Warren, where Bernadette does an extended dance number (she's tapping on top of a piano in the avatar) to "Lulu's Back in Town." This is the musical portion of the show that "the Exorcist" sketch was on. It's on a DVD (also tape, I guess) that I got on Ebay, Collector's Edition #6.
I did a screen capture of the dance routine with a free DVD decoder I downloaded onto my computer; which reminds me that I only have a few more days before it self-destructs.

Bernadette is so generous to her fans, it would be a shame to bother her when she is on her own in public. It is rare that a celebrity of her status will regularly meet with fans after shows and be so sweet and friendly, she already gives us alot.

Hmm. I have one of those Carol Burnett tapes and it is sounding vaguely familiar. But I'll have to go and check out my tape. I might not have that one.

I need to get an avatar. I'm so jealous.
Ditto what Christine and Karen and Jean and others have said. I don't read the Gypsy forums anymore. Some of the posts make my skin crawl.
What will self-destruct,Jean? The DVD thingy or your computer? Will it flash a message-"This will self-destruct in 10...9...8.." like in those early 80s "the computer will overtake the world" movies?
Jenn,remembering why she loves southeastern Louisiana in the spring. Didn't I hear that some of you folks up in NJ/NY got some light snow?

LIGHT SNOW!!!!! I AM SO TIRED OF THIS WEATHER. We are supposed to get more over the next day or two. I'd be careful, Jenn, with your musings about Louisiana springs because I'm close to being one of those mild mannered people who just snaps and you find out later they took hostages. I WANT SPRING I WANT SPRING.
Enjoy your warm weather.

Moljul-
Think of me in July when the New Orleans temperature is in the high 90s (heat index at 100 or more) and the humidity is 66% or higher. Looking forward to it (and I'm born and raised,as they say)! Tips to tourists planning a trip to New Orleans in the summer: Don't.
Jenn,who is stuck indoors for now. Whining.
