I've never met any celebrity I liked

Well I did run into Pat Riley at a car show once...I hate sports but he had white hair and a gorgeous suit.

I suck at this. I guess gorgeous actors and the like just don't come to Homestead often. (Last year Tony Bourdain was at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival and I swear I considered going but decided I didn't need charges of attempted rape on my record.)

Never met any celebrity, though Yoshitoshi ABe once once sat exactly four feet away from me. Does that count?

My sister has friends who are usually arranging the gigs of the few J-Rock bands who choose to come to Finland. I believe they're currently bringing about Despair's Ray's gig. She's at least had the chance to meet various J-Rockers through her friends...

I envy you.

I once rode a hotel elevator/lift with Rick Wakeman after one of his concerts.  After having already gotten a picture and autograph after the show.  We were staying at the same hotel.  (If anyone else here knows who that is bonus points to you. I'm showing my age a little, and I'm not that old!  He plays keyboards for the band Yes, though that may not help either. )

Tony Bourdain...ooh. If he ever comes back, let me know. I'll head down there and we can rape him together.

Jesus. Are you like a cuter Orlandoian version of me or what???

He's listed as one of the 'personalities' involved in the festival this year, but there's no mention of what he's doing. Last year he was master chef for a special dinner and tasting, if he's doing it this year, well we're just going to have to rape the poor guy, huh?

OOOOOOOOOH. YUUUUUUUUUUUUS. My precioooooooous... oh, wait, my bad...

Hell's yeah! I can't find anything about dates tho. Did it come and go already and I missed it? Did I miss Tony-Don't-Eat-Fish-On-Mondays-But-Go-Ahead-and-Eat-Week-Old-Baby-Cow-Face-Bourdain? I cry.

Just so you know that.

Last year it was in March, this year they're going for late February. If Bourdain's coming, you and I have a date. And by date, I mean we're going to tie a loudmouth culinary romantic of a New Yorker to a bed and thoroughly have our way with him.

That said, it might be a foursome if I can afford to drag Yasha down.

I seriously love that man. He has the most adorable passion for food, and his show on the Travel channel shows us what real travelling is like, sans fanny pack and double-stacker bus.

...This might be IFD territory, but I just came in my new lace panties. Oh well.


It was worth it.

It's official. I'm keeping tabs on the Festival. We may have to blow 150bux a head to eat Bourdain's cooking.

Holy shit! He better cook naked for that! My only complication is that I have to be in Seattle for the bf's birthday, and that's feb 13th. We haven't settled dates yet, but it looks like I'm leaving here about the 11th, and coming back about the 15th. I wonder if it would be easier to fly into Miami -there's an airport there, right? Hopefully the festival is not mid-feb.

Late February. You'd be go for launch.

The question at this point is whether I'll be able to walk at the time. I'm kinda waiting on my health insurance to kick in so I can get gutted like a fish.

I can swipe a wheelchair from Disney and push you around ike the royalty you so totally are. I can even get ya' a tiara. Maybe Tony would have pity on your for your gimpiness, and take you to bed for some sexual healing.

And just think about all the thing's Madonna's hand has touched, that you have also passivly received!


On second thought, maybe not so much.

...the closest I got to a celebrity was when I met myself. d: Just kidding. Alex Kapranos (lead singer of Franz Ferdinand) touched my hand. No big deal, but it counts.

I have been going to a number of schools over the years and I knew of a number of kids who had the same name as famous people like George Bush, James (Jim) Bean, Elizabeth Taylor and Patrick Stewart. Does that count?

I have never met anyone famous. But I will tell you, I am DYING to meet Billy Corgan. I have such a huge rockstar crush on him it's not funny, and to me he's the definition of sex appeal. I know the band is kind of older news (even though they are making a new album currently), but he's...Billy Corgan. He's hot all by himself. I have made this solumn vow not to go to a big deal school dance unless it's with him; and I've never been to a big school dance. I probably will never meet him, but I can dream, you know?
