LA and celebrities

Residents of LA are fortunate not only because they enjoy almost a whole year of beautiful weather but also living next to world famous celebrities. Having lived here for over three years and having seen so many of them I still get starstruck.
I like watching a good movie, and the "Sundance" cinema always has something special to show to movie lovers. The other day my friend and I decided to go watch a movie on a Thursday night. The show was late and there were only few people who wanted to catch a late show. We entered the lobby and handed our tickets to ticket taker. Standing in line to get something to drink I see somebody walking by and whom I've seen many times before, and I can't believe he is who I think he is - Quentin Tarantino.
At first, I had doubts It was he until I saw other few people started noticing him. Besides, when he began talking I had no doubt (Tarantino has a distinct voice). I had a great chance to ask him for an autograph, nice picture and maybe have a conversation but It would feel wrong. Instead, we just watched a great movie maker and an Academy Award winner enjoying his night out.

  1. Haha.. Nice! You should have asked him an autograph or even have a picture taken together. There's nothing wrong with it. In fact, celebrities seem to enjoy that... ;)

  2. I saw Billy Jean King on campus two weeks ago. And I almost did not ask her for an autograph. But I said to myself, it's now or never. And I asked her for an autograph and she was so gracious. She even thanked me for being an educator! Can you believe that?

  4. That's so cool ! And I'm so sure it was an honor for her to give you an autograph and just being on campus. Education is the virtue :)
