I've been living in New York a year now, and I've never seen anyone famous. I did see minor celebrities, perhaps, like the Charles Durning, and a women who, I was informed, was in Sex in the City, a show I've never watched.
But today I hit the jackpot, at least for myself. I'm 90% sure I saw Philip Glass, my favorite composer! He was eating a sandwich at a new place called "Your Taste" at 6th Ave and 23rd St. I never want to bother anyone so I just moved on, but it was quite a thrill. Looking back on it, I'm not sure if it should have been so thrilling. I mean, I saw him once in San Francisco at at a live rendition of Koyaanisqatsi, which was incredible. But here it was unexpected, and close up. At any rate, I'm still thrilled.
