OK…I know I’m definitely back in the US again. How? Well, my day started at 6:45 this morning, as I drug myself off my sister’s couch in preparation for my flight to NYC. After a long day of layovers, delays, and cancellations, I finally made it to LGA 12 hours later.
So, when I hungrily strolled around my (temporary) East Village neighborhood, I was eager to try one of the many Korean places around here. I go into the one that looks the most veg friendly, and I plop down and plow into the food without a thought in the world.
There’s all of three other tables there with customers, but as I’m gnawing away on my kimchi — the first I’ve had since I was in Korea a year ago — I see someone that looks familiar. Could it be? No. It can’t be. This guy’s got a lot of facial hair. And I don’t remember Shawn Hunter having facial hair.
But a few minutes more of stalker staring later, and it was confirmed. I’ve had my first celebrity sighting since returning to the US. Yep. I saw Rider Strong, the heartthrob of my teen years (I think I may have even had a BOP poster or two of him back in the day) again. Yep. Again. I actually saw him on the other coast about two years ago. But that was at a party for a friend of a friend who was releasing a book on memoirs of the sex industry.
Welcome back to land of the movie people, Jayna…
LOL! I remember that party. Nice favors.
hey jayna,

sounds like a fun place!
Hehehe…I thought you might remember the party. SO LA, eh? And yep, that was definitely where I stayed. That Lou Majaw guy is pretty famous there…as much for his Dylan covers as for his hot pants. Thanks for the link!
