Nerves of steel for ’Superman’ premiere

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (UPI) -- A Florida woman who won a trip to Iowa to see a charity premiere of "Superman Returns" instead got "a comedy of errors," the Des Moines Register says.

"If I had known that’s what it would be like, I would have stayed home," Kathleen Keleher of Fort Lauderdale said.

She and her companion, Ron Viars, won what was supposed to be a red-carpet trip to West Des Moines for the premiere, complete with a reception with the film’s star, Iowa native Brandon Routh.

Their flight to Des Moines was overbooked, forcing Keleher and Viars into separate rows. A crated dog in the seat next to Keleher relieved itself.

In the Des Moines airport, they found their luggage had been broken into, her camera was stolen and the remaining contents soaked by rain. The transportation to the hotel didn’t show, she told the newspaper.

The hotel desk clerk found no reservation for them, she said. Eventually getting a room, they dressed "business casual" for the premiere, following instructions from Warner Bros., only to find it was black-tie -- and they weren’t on the guest list.

That night they didn’t get to meet Routh because the actor was late, and they missed their dinner reservation. Keleher ended up spending her 47th birthday at a sports bar -- where she says she got food poisoning.

Then the hotel tried to bill them for the room, she said.

Warner Bros. declined to comment.
