Celebrity cameo
The guy in the condo across the hall is a pretty cool guy. I've run into him in the hall a few times. His name's Gere... which I only know because it's written on his mailbox. I completely forget his first name. I just know it's not Richard. Richard Gere is someone else. Whom I also saw in the hallway this week.
Yes. You read that right. It turns out the guy across the hall is Richard Gere's nephew (or something).
So a famous celebrity was crashing at his nephew's place for a few days this week. Incredible. Not even for filming a movie or anything. It's some sort of family issue he was vague about. Understandable.
So I met him.
And I shook his hand.
And I invited him in for a drink.
And so here is a picture of me and Richard Gere, in my living room, drinking pints of my own homebrew.
He stayed for about five minutes. I really didn't know what kind of small talk to make. He just complimented me on my beer and briefly explained why the hell he was in my building, enough so I wouldn't ask. Nice guy. I guess being a celebrity's nephew's neighbor has its privileges.
Yep, that is definitely the coolest* and most ridiculously random** thing to happen in this particular condo since I moved in.
Just think, someday I'll be able to point to a movie poster and say "See those two? I've poured drinks in my own home with both Richard Gere AND d_day!"
