Why is there no ILX celebrity sighting thread?

apparently my wife just saw Mike D walking down Valencia street in the Mission

apparently ... like ... according to mike d?

well they did not intereact so I gotta take her word for it that it was him

my wife's all excited cos she's been asked to judge the kids talent show at our street party alongside "graham from elastica". have tried explaining that there wasn't a graham, but she's not having it at all

i was sitting on a bench in teardrop park in battery park city a few weeks ago. no one else in the park at all for a while but then a small group of 4 men show up, with a film camera, and one starts monologuing about something into the camera while walking around. it's just me and them. i notice that the one talking is a fairly chubby guy with ugly clothes and a goatee. as they get closer i start to make out his face and voice and realize it's leonardo di caprio. end of story. i hope i find out what the hell they were filming, someday.

Noted Austrian thriller writer Josef Haslinger at a Vienna pizzeria yesterday, which will no doubt be of great interest to fans of noted Austrian thriller writers.

just stood next to mathieu amalric at the urinals at some classical music concert. i love him <3

i tried to go wee but i just went squee

seen Joe Montana at least a handful of times on the street lately

Thurston Moore looked at my cock tonight. Lankily leaning around a doorframe to see if there was room to get on the other side of my dick.

i went to get on the subway and a group of people were staring at the stop and one woman kept taking photos
so i jumbled through them, saw the guy in the center and had two thoughts simultaneously
1) hey that's judd apatow
2) oh shit, he's gonna fuck up my commute isn't he

Just under 24 hours after the above in London, I blocked St3phani3 B3atriz' suitcase with my suitcase at an indie comic shop in Brooklyn.

have crossed paths with Boots Riley twice now in the past 6 mos

2) oh shit, he's gonna fuck up my commute isn't he

did he make it an hour longer than it should've been?

This probably doesn't count, but Bruce LaBruce's sister's office is a few doors down the hall from mine.

Elizabeth Ashley in the film lobby of MoMA, effusively praising some bygone Nic Cage performance -- i think it was Face/Off

no wait, she was in Vampire's Kiss! iMdB when in doubt.

i can't believe i never updated this thread with the true fact that in march (i think it was march) jennifer lawrence attended and played in a pub quiz i run in downtown mtl (but quit after two rounds) (i think she was there to kill time before getting food or going to the hotel nearby but still)

did you have an Indie Actors Who Sold Out round?

apparently the theme round was "queens and patriots". (whatever that meant. i didn't write that week's quiz on my pc.) didn't matter though; she left by the time that round rolled around.

also apparently another team accused her team of cheating? to which i responded "you always accuse people in that seat of cheating, and they never win, so stfu" gah now i'm getting annoyed at my regulars all over again

btw if the tabloids are reading, her team was called BEIBER FEVER (sic), y'all can have that one for free

All last night:

7:30pm - Billy Bragg in the British Library, being refused service because he'd come in too late.

8:30pm - Owen Jones (lol celebrity) doing a pub quiz.

10:30pm - *Thurston Moore in the same pub, but drinking not doing a quiz.

(*Yeah, yeah, I know I'm always mentioning him but he keeps showing up in the same places I'm at).

It's ok. Members of Sonic Youth (including Mark Ibold) are just a given for celebrity sightings.

I think Steve Shelley was at my daughter's piano recital last week.

ILX Seeing Celebrities at Pub Quiz Thread

John Owen Jones is a celebrity, who's Owen jones

joelle carter, at a park

You've no need of him in Ireland.(xp)

the creators of Oglaf carrying groceries away from budget supermarket Foodworks

95% sure that was John Krasinski on 14th Street about 2 weeks ago. Look like he slimmed way down since the Navy SEAL movie buffdom.

Even more sure that was Patti LuPone sitting in front of me for the vaudeville clips at Film Forum last night.

pretty sure I almost ran into Naomi Watts in Montreal earlier this summer but I was too focused on walking to get a hamburger to really look back and make sure

Gaz. Fucking. Coombes.

^ outside the haunted house at the funfair at my local park

but... Gaz Coombes died 30 years ago

oh no, not Gaz!

Immortal matador of tunesmithery, always in our hearts

Revive for Michael C. Hall in garden square near me, with really cute dog.

minor indie rock celebrities: i saw sadie dupuis and dylan baldi at the whole foods i shop at. sadie had a big leopard-print coat on, it was neat.

baldi is from cleveland and i feel like i've seen him elsewhere around town

If minor indie rock celebrities count then I sighted one in my apartment the other night. Not sure if they count, tho.

In a mirror?

just remembered that about 6 months ago i am 95% certain i walked past julia stiles

malcolm gladwell running the opposite direction from me on the prospect park jogging loop
had to restrain myself from malkovich-style screaming HEY GLADWELL and chucking a water bottle at his head

"On average, I can expect to be pelted in the head with a water bottle every 3 years. I guess I was due."
