Brush with fame

I had brunch with Eric and Sonja Sunday afternoon at Cafe Gitane. A man sat next to us eating baked eggs. When I saw what he had ordered, I wished I had ordered the same. He left early, leaving his companion at the table. Eric leaned over to me and said, "That was Stephen Gaghan, the guy who wrote Traffic and directed Syriana." I told him I didn't recognize him. He said that Sonja told him and asked me when my last brush with fame was. I said that I could step on fame's foot and not recognize it. Sonja told me that she had to tell Eric that Drew Barrymore brushed past him in Whole Foods. Eric said her voice had sounded familiar. I told them the last time I had a brush with fame, Mike Meyers opened the door for me at Blue Ribbon. And I didn't even notice. Posted by eku at March 27, 2006 11:14 PM
