I had a little brush with fame in New Orleans. A literal brush with fame.<\/p>\n
We were waiting for a table at Napoleon House<\/a> (aside: their\u00a0bruschetta\u00a0is to die for). I looked up and said to myself, “Hey, self, isn’t that Zoe from Firefly<\/a>?”) I was trying not to stare, but I was also trying to figure it out.<\/p>\n Which was when I looked up.<\/p>\n And I saw him.<\/p>\n My thought process went something like this”<\/p>\n “Hey, is that…”<\/p>\n “It totally is.”<\/p>\n “That is Lawrence Fishburne.”<\/p>\n “He’s kindof short.”<\/p>\n “But he has a certain gravitas about him.”<\/p>\n “Wouldn’t it be nice if I could say something witty and clever to him?”<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Yeah, I’m cool like that.<\/p>\n He said, “Excuse me,” Kristian gave me a gently nudge and I got out of the way.<\/p>\n And that was my brief brush with fame. Scintillating, huh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had a little brush with fame in New Orleans. A literal brush with fame.
