After a concert followed, on hot tip, Martin Gore and Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode to dance club in DC.  We talked to them, tried to be cool....  Understand that Martin Gore was, from age 13, my first True Love (if you don't count Curtis the Lifeguard).  This happened at age 18.  My love had matured, but not dimmed.

Also ran around a grocery store late at night after Hugh Grant, who was in Baltimore for... God, I can't even remember.  It might have been a John Waters premiere.  We followed him at a distance, hiding in the frozen vegetables, grabbing a magazine to hide behind.  Very cloak-and-dagger.  Hugh-and-frozenpeas.

Talked briefly to Elton John outside the Royal Academy of Music in London, which is right down the street from Madame Tussaud's, where he made an appearance for a wax-figure premiere-thingy, and was headed on foot, with small entourage, for Regent's Park.

What is it with these pasty Brit boys?

NOW:
One of the above stories is false.  Which one????

ednbarby:
I've spotted several folks, too, but never had the inclination/guts to try to speak to them:

- Steve Winwood in the Miami Airport about 10 years ago

- Denis Leary in LAX about 10 years ago

- Tim Roth at the Ft. Lauderdale Int'l Film Festival about 6 years ago - screened a film he'd directed called "The War Zone" and he did a Q&A afterwards - he's a very small, very slight man - no taller than 5'7", I'd say, and very thin.

- Matthew Modine walking by with his daughter in her school uniform in 2000 in the Village, near Washington Square Park - he's VERY tall - I'd hazard a guess at 6'2" or 6'3"

- Chris Noth in the heart of Broadway after a matinee play crossing at the same crosswalk and walking in the same direction as Ed and me for a couple blocks - he was wearing a jacket and tie and looked to be escorting his parents (a considerably older couple) to dinner.  He's tallish, but not as tall as I'd have thought - more like 5'10".

For some strange reason, THIS Hugh-chase sounds phoney..  :laugh:

Wheee!
Nope, the Hugh-chase was real.

I almost forgot: Pope John Paul II.  He was pretty famous.  He blessed me.  And, like thousands of others.  But I was about three feet from him.
