I thought I would share this with you.  My girlfriend and I were attending the ABC Primetime Preview Weekend at Disney's California Adventure on Saturday, August 24, 2002 when we decided to relax for a little while in the lobby of the Grand Californian Hotel.  While we were sitting on the couch near the fireplace, I noticed Eric (who was there promoting "Less Than Perfect") and his Disney guide walking past us.  When I saw him, I nudged my girlfriend and whispered to her "Hey!  That's Eric Roberts!" while fiddling to get my camera ready.  Eric's guide noticed that I was looking at Eric and whispering to my girlfriend, and in turn she whispered something to Eric.  I assume she told him "I think those two want a picture with you."  So Eric turned around, pointed his finger at me and said "Did you guys want a picture with me?"  to which I stammered "YEAH!"  He posed with each of us at the hotel's Grand Piano and even insisted on a group picture.  I've never before encountered a celebrity like Eric who was so cordial and obliging.  When we finished taking pictures, I shook his hand and thanked him.  My girlfriend and I couldn't stop smiling afterwards.
