So I don't think I told you guys about my most recent brush with fame. It was while I was on my honeymoon. On our wedding night we headed down to the Four Seasons Hotel (Chicago). As we were checking in I look to my left and do a total double take. Who is standing five feet next to me? Keanu Reeves (aka Neo). So what do I do? Like a bone head I immediately turn to my wife and say (in a somewhat loud voice) "Honey it's Keanu Reeves". After I said that she turns around and he is gone. Just as we are rounding the corner to the elevators my wife asks "Where did he go!" And right before us is standing Keanu. He was looking pretty upset that we were making such a comotion. Never said a word to us, and waited for another elevator instead of getting into the one with us
.
After we arrived in Greece we were waiting on a bus at the airport and standing right next to us was Matthew Broderick, and Sarah Jessica Parker. We actually ended up seeing them about three times since the vacationed in the same place that we did.
Other famous people on my list:
Paul Bocuse
George Blanc
Jeff Smith (Frugal Gourmet)
Kelly LeBroc
Telly Savalis
Denzel Washington
Would love to hear some other brush with fame stories.
