austin powers

today i popped my celebrity sighting cherry! ken, devy and i were talking on the corner of 6th ave and bedford/houston when i see this guy crossing the street towards us on houston. i look closely as he passes by, and i quitely say to ken and devy, "that was just mike myers," to which ken confirms my sighting by shouting "hey mike!" and having him turn around with a tired/confused expression.

not bad for my first sighting, and it was cool how it looked like he was just walking home, looking like everyone else with a hat (beanie as we say in ca), headphones and in everyday dress. now i wonder who i'll spot next...

Finally you saw a celebrity.. most ppl in NYC tend to leave celebrities alone and just let them be regular people. I saw Jerry O'Connell a couple weeks ago walking a dog in Chelsea and Giselle that supermodel riding a bike on Hudson St.

Do you have your camera with you at all time? I suppose it is cool-not to yell out at someone you don't know, celebrity notwithstanding, much less than click a snapshot, right?
