Geoffrey just met Robin Williams! His wish came true on September 18 in Corte Madera, CA. Geoffrey and Robin had lunch together at Il Fornaio in Corte Madera, CA. For two hours the conversation never stopped, nor did the laughs.
Geoffrey signed a mug that he gave to Robin and Robin told him he would use it for his morning coffee! And of course, Robin signed things for Geoffrey. At the end of the lunch Geoffrey and family were surprised with tickets to Robin's show that night at the Throckmorton Theater in Mill Valley with reserved seats.

Yesterday Robin made a surprise appearance at the annual Woofstock fundraiser at the Marin Humane Society in Bel Marin Keys and shared the stage with fellow Marin comic Mark Pitta, the show's emcee.
In front of about 300 hundred people, the two traded one-liners for about 25 minutes and read off the names of raffle prize winners. Robin started by making cat sounds, causing many of the several dozen dogs in the audience to tilt their heads, and made several references to the places dogs tend to lick and sniff.
When Robin was raffling an iPod Nano, Pitta warned him not to say the name twice in a row, a reference to Robin's signature "na nu na nu" line from his "Mork & Mindy" days.
That same day Robin received the Comedy Legend Award in San Francisco, CA at the Comedy Day event. Below is a clip with Debbie Durst introducing Robin and his acceptance speech:

Last friday on August 28th we had a very exciting RWF Meeting in San Francisco. In the afternoon we went to see "World's Greatest Dad" with a whole bunch of people joining from Canada, San Diego and of course the Bay Area. After the movie we all went straight to Bimbo's 365 where Robin was about to perform later that night.
At the venue a line had already been formed and we handed out postcards promoting the film "World's Greatest Dad", hoping more people will go see it while it's still playing in theaters.
Soon a few more people who were able to get tickets for the show joined us and we had an amazing time at the show! On top of that, two of us went backstage afterwards to say "hi" to Robin.
We finished the evening across the street from Bimbo's with a few drinks.
Thanks so much to those who were there and for those who couldn't make it, maybe we'll see you next time!

The 22 year tradition of honoring people who have entertained and embraced the Walt Disney Corporation's name and entertainment is what the Disney Legend award is all about.

The other honorees are Tony Anselmo, Harry Archinal, Bill Farmer, Estelle Getty, Don Iwerks, Rue McClanahan, Leota Toombs Thomas and Betty White.
