Have you ever met a famous person/samsong?

famous or not, people do not say hi to one another on the streets of new york.

that's not true. i've found that a lot of people, albeit not most, greet me audibly if we happen to make eye contact.

haha, you sound like you've been hounded by the paparazzi or someshit. now that'd be an annoying gesture, the invasion of privacy and all that which comes with being a rich celebrity. she sounds self-righteous and condescending. i'd never ask for an autograph because it's lame, but why is she lecturing people about it? oh right, because she's jesus fucking bono and was on that mtv show where she got sand in her brain. that was funny.

I realize it's a month later... And I'm extemely irrelavent... But I just read this and found it to be the bomb diggity.

See you next fiscal quarter... Much to your Chagrin.

I was in Bozeman, Montana for a wedding last weekend.  Beautiful part of the country.  Someone in the wedding party got wind that a well known actor and cult figure was in town shooting a movie and doing a book signing the day of the wedding.  So in between the pictures and the ceremony, the whole wedding party ran to the Barnes & Noble to try and get his blessing for the soon-to-be-newlyweds. 

Once we got to the church after this, the woman who "directs" the weddings was pissed.  She didn't know why everyone was late but her only response was, "I hope it was for an honest reason."



Doesn't get much more honest than having your picture taken with Henry Winkler.



By the way, that's me on the far right.

The two greatest things about being a dude: peeing upright and never having to wear bridesmaid dresses.  The third would be: being Henry Winkler.  But that only applies to Henry Winkler.

dude you were so far from winkler. 

[grand theft sparrow]

True, but A) I didn't want to hog the Winkler facetime since I wasn't the one getting married; and B) I have it on videotape that, when everyone is taking pictures of us all, he points to me to make sure that "this guy" is in the shot.  Henry Winkler acknowledged my existence.  Good enough for me.

Should have told her the wedding went to go 'jump the shark.'

I saw richard lewis at the airport last week.  I was whistling, standing on the belt, he was angrily walking through a crowd of people, staring at me, I stopped whistling, he walked by.  it was only like five seconds long the whole thing.

the other night my friend called me from new york, cause he just made eye contact with vincent gallo.  also, a few weeks earlier he saw haley joel osment at a hooka (sp?) bar, and then later banging his head at an animal collective concert.

...i wanna live in the city...

haley joel osment at a hooka (sp?) bar

This kind or this kind?

[JG]

first one. 

[polkablues]

This is Haley Joel Osment we're talking about, though.  He was probably rolling in the second one by the end of the night.
