Ah! You saw Molly Ringwald? The Queen of Teen movies! Ha. I was just watching The Breakfast Club the other day. I believe 16 Candles is going to be on AMC tonight at 8.

So what do you do when you sit next to a celeb? Do you just ignore them, or do you smile, or do you say how much you enjoy (or not enjoy, LOL) their work? I wouldn't know what to do if it happened!

Clinton saw Avenue Q a few months ago - I wonder what it must have been like sitting next to him!

I sat directly behind Sean Connery at "Writer's Block" and
Teddy Pendergrass was a few rows back when I saw "Frankie and Johnny"

I've seen way more celebs in doctor's offices and just walking down the street.

I saw Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman at Avenue Q (Wow, he's short...) as well as the original Luke Skywalker....whatever his name is...(not a huge Star Wars fan...I've never seen any of the movies...) I know his name, it is just escaping me at the moment.

Keanu Reeves at "The Real Thing"
Jude Law at "Assassins"
Liza Minnelli at "Wicked"

...those are some of the 'harder to spot' celebs.

Considering I go to shows about twice a week (client entertaining!)...I see celebs frequently. They run the gamut.
