The first of many fun NYC trips :-) I don't have a blog, so I don't think I can enter info into your link above, so I'll just tell you one of my celebrity sightings, or wait, two actually. The first was Billy Bob Thorton at the Orioles game. He threw out the first pitch and at the end of the game I ran into him on the club level, went up to get his autograph and also gave him a kiss on the cheek ;-) I know, everyone is thinking, "ewwww"! But I had been drinking, and just couldn't help myself - he was also very flirtatious - I know, shocker. He's also shorter than I thought, I literally think he's only 5'6". My 2nd celebrity sighting is at a rental car place in LA. We were waiting in line to get our car and the other person in line is the guy from the TV show Friday Night Lights. Can't remember his name, but he's the quarterback that replaced the original quarterback after he blew out his knee. He was a really nice guy. From Chicago, currently lives in Austin. Very friendly, very shy too - a nice kid. Oh, and then when I was younger I saw the guy from Empty Nest (I loved that show!) standing in the corner of the LAX airport.

On my trip there in college I brushed up against Oscar de la Renta at a fashion show, saw Shirley McClaine at the HUGE Crate & Barrel store out there and saw several celebs walking into the daytime Emmy's. That pretty much rounds out my celebrity encounters! : ) New York is a great place to “run into” celebs.

I've never met any famous person... sigh. My mom once met Eric Estrada... you know, the guy from CHiPS? And it was at Disney World, of all places! These have been so fun to read!

I would have seriously had to surpress the urge to chant "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy" if I had seen him. I'm impressed by your restraint! LOL! BTW, I sent you a quote request for Disney today. Just in case the name didn't seem familiar. :-) Cool! I would have seriously had to surpress the urge to chant “Rudy, Rudy, Rudy” if I had seen him. I’m impressed by your restraint! LOL!
