Bob who?

Almost two years ago to the day, Gia and I ran into a celebrity while carousing in NYC. His name is Bob Balaban, and if you don't recognize the name you will probably recognize the face when you click on that link.

It was an exciting encounter. I basically said "Hey...Bob Balaban!", and he replied with "Hiya!" or something. I was moved. Really. It changed me.

So last night I escorted Gia to the city once more as we stopped at a couple of potential new customers for her job. Then we had a few drinks and went to dinner. Nice night out.

Now we never run into celebrities when we go to the city. NEVER. Hence my post about Bob Balaban two years ago. Oh, I saw Johnny Knoxville a few months back and we had lunch right next to Eric Bogosian once, but never a Lindsay Lohan or a Brad Pitt or a {insert celebrity you care about here}. It just doesn't happen to us. Maybe we just aren't aware of celebrities around us, I dunno. Maybe we just don't hang where the celebrities hang. Maybe we just aren't that cool.

Nah...that can't be it.

Anyway, guess which celebrity we did see yesterday when we went to the Manhattan?

That's right. Bob Balaban.

I'm looking forward to October of 2010 when we see him again.

Bob, you hang tough until then brother.
