Event: Val Follow-Up Date: September 6, 2005 Participants: Self, Val, Cal File Name: Val.expr WhatVal_9-6 Valerie? Oh, you mean that self-absorbed, neurotic, no-talent, wannabe celebrity. Yeah. She doesn’t work here anymore. WhereVal1_9-6 Valerie finally decided to follow her dreams. She’s now a roadie for Barbara Streisand. Well, not Barbara Streisand, exactly. She’s a roadie for a Barbara Streisand cover band: Babs and the Babettes. WhereVal2_9-6 See what happens when you follow your dreams. You can go all the way to Carl Junction, Missouri. WhatVal_9-6 Valerie now works for Babs and the Babettes. They’re a Barbara Streisand cover band. I think she runs their lightboard. Heck, she might actually be their lightboard. HowCal_9-6 From what I hear, Val and Cal are still happily married. They don’t see each other too often, though. While she’s been busy touring with Babs and the Babettes, he’s off with Chills and Fevers, the new Tom Jones laser show. HowCrumbs_9-6 Crumbs still clings to the dream of being a professional singer. Just because her mother chucked it all away for the stability of spending five nights a week in a Motel Six doesn’t mean that Crumbs should give up as well. She’s hoping to be on next year’s American Idol. Maybe Paula Abdul will want to sleep with her.
