I read on Marc Broussard's message board (and you can believe everything on the Web, right?) that John Mayer was at Marc's Friday night show at the House of Blues, but I didn't see him as he was probably in the VIP section if in fact he was there. (The was freakin' amazing, by the way. Marc is an AWESOME performer and has such great stage presence. He so obviously LOVES what he does.)
There's nothing worse than a missed celeb sighting! Ok, I take that back. There are other worse things: broken bones, no job and a bad haircut.
This weekend, however, I had Brent with me and my celeb sighting karma was much better. He, Stacie and I were eating lunch at Real Food Daily in Santa Monica. Brent pointed out Jason Lewis as he was leaving a meal he had eaten alone at the counter.
Whenever my friends from out of town visit, we like to try to find celebs for them because that's one of the many cool things about Los Angeles. Sometimes they'll even see them on their own. After we dropped Stacie off at the airport this morning, she called me before her plane left to tell me that she just saw Julia Stiles.
Obviously not everyone gets as excited by celeb sightings as I do. But it's kind of like the world's biggest game of Where's Waldo?. Ya never know when you're going to pee next to Kevin Spacey (as Brent once did at a movie theater), literally bump into Brandon Boyd from Incubus (as a co-worker recently did) or pump gas next to Henry Winkler aka The Fonz (as Brent did a few weeks ago).

I should go celeb sighting with you!! :) I never know when I pass by anyone famous if I do... But I guess it's better to not know than to have them think you're following 'em around :)
ReplyDeleteI wish you would have noticed Topher Grace so you can tell me if he's really cute in real life. For some reason, I think he is so freakin' adorable and I would melt if I saw him. But I think I would melt if I saw anyone famous up close.
