My Brush With Fame

I had a little brush with fame in New Orleans. A literal brush with fame.

We were waiting for a table at Napoleon House (aside: their bruschetta is to die for). I looked up and said to myself, “Hey, self, isn’t that Zoe from Firefly?”) I was trying not to stare, but I was also trying to figure it out.

Which was when I looked up.

And I saw him.

My thought process went something like this”

“Hey, is that…”

“It totally is.”

“That is Lawrence Fishburne.”

“He’s kindof short.”

“But he has a certain gravitas about him.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice if I could say something witty and clever to him?”

It was somewhere around here that I realized that he had crossed the entire length of the restaurant and was now attempting to squeeze by me. I hadn’t moved, because I was completely and utterly star struck.

Yeah, I’m cool like that.

He said, “Excuse me,” Kristian gave me a gently nudge and I got out of the way.

And that was my brief brush with fame. Scintillating, huh?
