    To: Gilbert Gottfried

    I just got back from your Thursday night show in Roswell, GA.

    I've been a fan of yours for years and it was great to finally see you perform in person. Your material was great, your impressions were top notch, and you are, without a doubt, the best Bogart impersonator EVER! Everyone else just does the voice, but you've got him down!

    I laughed so hard tonight ... and my back is still aching!

    It was really great to be able to meet you and say, "Hello" after the show.

    Thanks for a fantastic evening!

    -Randy

    Thank you. I'm glad my performance caused you pain.
