I exchanged a knowing look with my new intimate, Mr. Krabbé, to let him know that I appreciated his work and wasn't wowed by the much brighter star power five pews up. Now, every time I tell this story I have to look up his name on IMDB --- and not just for spelling.
Anyone else weirdly proud of a minor celeb encounter? Bonus points if you peed on them, or were asked to.

Joss Whedon showed up as a surprise to a friend of mine's birthday party. I think he was just going to stop at the restaurant for a few minutes to say happy birthday, but he ended up joining the party. We ended up bar hopping and then back in someone's hotel suite. He and I took charge of raiding the mini bar, and he made me his test subject for a variety of mixed drinks involving Snapple.
