EL the Famous Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Dude, why wouldn't you go up and say hi?! or, at least, when his cell blew up you could have said: 'phone is ringing...oh my god.' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Dude, why wouldn't you go up and say hi?! Because I was too shy. I didnt want to bother him and I had no idea what to say. I didnt want to look like or sound like some loser fanboy. But he had no posse with him. He was by himself. I snuck a pic with my cellphone. But I didnt want to get busted so i only got a shot from behind. Here is the pic, but its hard to tell it was him... I cant figure out how to make the pic bigger. We made eye contact though. He knew that I was a fan. I suppose that was good enough at the time. But now, yeah, I regret not saying something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trust me -- my head was spinning trying to come up with a good line. That was one of them, but then I thought that he would just roll his eyes and laugh at me if I did that. I was either going to drop the El Segundo line or tell him to wipe his feet really good on the rhythm rug. But then I just chickened out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I know I wouldn't have ended up saying anything either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I know I wouldn't have ended up saying anything either. I might have just gone up and said something like: 'hate to bug you, but i'm a huge fan of your work and just wanted to take the opportunity to tell you...so, props and thanks for all the good shit.' Most famous folks I have had the nerve to approach are usually cool w/ that. That said, it is always tough to get the gumption up to approach them to actually say it. Either way, that's way cool Matt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imdwalrus Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 No idea where to put this so I guess its going here. No joke -- I ran into Q-Tip in the Energy Kitchen on 17th street bet 8th and 9th Ave in NYC yesterday. He and I were the only two guys in the place. I thought it looked like him and then he whipped out his cell phone and started talking on it. Bam! Q-TIp talking on his cell phone 3 feet away from me. I was thinking of dropping a line to the guy behind the checkout counter -- like not having money to pay and saying that I left my wallet in El Segundo, but then I figured that would be so lame. So I didnt say anything. I made eye contact with Q-Tip and I smiled at him. I think he knew I knew who he was. That's probably my best celebrity sighting in NYC so far. Although I did see Mike Myers once and Pat Riley some other time. Simon Russell Beale too. Considering that Q-Tip was my idol from 1990 - 1993, I have to think that's my best sighting yet. Rock and roll to the beat of the funk fuzz... Wow...nice. On a related note, I ran into OG Pat Hughes, reigning MC of all Cubs radio broadcasts on WGN, Saturday before the game. I gave him a pound, told him I enjoyed his flow and he told me to "stay up, young blood." Pat Hughes and Ron Santo are the Chuck D and Flavor Flav of sports broadcasting.
