Proof that I am easily impressed
So, one minor celebrity sighting - Tom Douglas, local restauranteur and author of several cookbooks was seen exiting one of his downtown establishments. I was on my way to the new flagship Top Pot Doughnuts cafe, and I saw this sketchy guy wearing an REI fleece jacket hanging outside the Palace Kitchen. He wasn't sketchy because of the fleece jacket ('cause this is Seattle, and there's a lot of fleece here), but he just looked furtive, like he was doing something untoward. But, I think I just mistook annoyance for unseemliness. When I finally figured out who it was, I was pretty excited. It's not like Douglas is any big celebrity (although, I have seen him on the Food Network several times), it's just that I have low celeb-sighting standards. Unlike my friends who run into Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service every five minutes, I have to be content with minor celebrities, like John Curley (the host of a local news magazine show), who I saw last year doing a segment on the UW's quad.
Another celebrity sighting - this time at the co-op:
Finally, a cartoon-endorsed product I can get behind!Best line in tonight's episode of The Surreal Life? Rob "Don't Call Me Vanilla Ice" Van Winkle yelling to Ron Jeremy, "Don't pull a Garry Coleman!"
