That's What I Get for Living Here

This week I was meeting someone at a coffeeshop and while waiting outside overheard this snippet of conversation:

Dude 1: Hey! Is that Garth?
Dude 2: I don't know.
Dude 1: I think it is!
Dude 2: Maaaaybe.
[Potential garth turns around]
Dude 2: Nope.
Dude 1: Shit!
Me: [rolls eyes]

I was later told the particular coffeeshop at hand is a popular celebrity-spotting zone. So now I'm torn because it is one of the few (the only?) coffeeshops open late in town. I can finally work late, but risk running into a gaggle of celebrity watchers or an actual celebrity. I don't know which would be worse, or if it's even worth it.

Heh. Garth still counts?

I sympathize though...living in LA for a few years seems to impart a few things: hatred of LA itself, hatred of encountering (or rather, dealing with others encountering) celebrities.

On the bright side...maybe you'll get Conway Twitty's autograph?!!!

Around here? You bet garth counts.

If I do bump into someone like Garth, I'm going to try and get him to sign my boobs.
