So I saw Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore yesterday afternoon...

They live near me...I was walking to the salon to get my hair cut, and I see a really tall guy, who is quite obviously Thurston. Then, I see badass Kim too...They were splitting off at a corner, and I ended up walking by Kim. I nodded all cool-like, and she said "Hey".

wOOt! Celebrity encounter #? for me! :bounce:

So far we've got Michael Keaton, Sally Field, Gwenyth, Walken, Coz, Sorvino family, and Sonic Youth peeps...I see weird people. :P

1. I don't know who either one is...

...but I'm something of a pop-culture hermit.

Congrats, bicentennial_baby!

2. Thurston bought stuff off eBay...

...that a friend of mine was selling. Old Rolling Stone magazines (from when it was formatted like a newspaper) for some LARGE dollars.

So, all these people were spotted in your neighborhood, or is this your "life list" of celebrity spotting? And does Coz = Bill Cosby? or someone else?

from The Dixie Chicks. I saw Lance Armstrong's Overhaulin' car, too. He wasn't driving it though.

6. I've met Thurston a couple times

He used to come into the book store I worked at frequently.

Pretty nice guy. I never told him what a big Sonic Youth fan I was, though. Or even that I knew who he was. I figure he probably gets enough of that.
