It's Steve (now in blog form)

I’m finally back from several weeks of travel and thought I’d drop a quick post.  I’ll get around to a more complete post mortem of my vacation in a few days.  The most important thing to bear in mind from the last several weeks is that I’ve gotten Kevin Spacey and MC Hammer to take my picture.

It seems that if you run up to famous people and ask them to take your photo, they tend to be fairly compliant in their confusion (note: it helps if you’ve had a couple of cocktails and talk really fast).  Reverse Paparazzi is my new favorite game.

Kevin Spacey shot this one of Bjorn, Fran, and me.

MC Hammer shot Jim and me on the Big Island.

It’s 2:45 AM in London. And, while I should really be headed to bed, this post just can’t wait.  A few hours and many pints ago, I had a very lovely dinner at an upscale Chinese restaurant named China Tang.  This is interesting on two fronts.  First, I liberated a hand towel from from the restroom that says “Kiss Me I’m Chinese”.  Secondly, Kevin Spacey was having dinner at the restaurant in a private room.

Here’s the fun part.  I didn’t actually see him in the restaurant.  I did, however, run into him on our way out.  He was outside by himself having a cigarette.  I didn’t want to be the obnoxious American and ask to get a photo with him.  Instead I asked him to take a photo of me and my friends.

I’m proud to present you a photo of me taken by Kevin Spacey.

Ok, now I’m going to bed.
