quote:Haha yeah, I definitely feel the latter sentiment about LA. I go somewhat frequently for work and have seen some celebrity in some fashion during all my trips out there. That being said, your stories are definitely quite glamorous :Pquote:

Ha, PLEASE don't think this is everyday life out here. Not by a long shot. Seeing celebrities every so often, sure. I feel like I see one once every couple of weeks. But unless you have job like the one I happened to fall into for a few years, or have friends who know people, everyday LA life is incredibly average. So base your decision on the job itself more than anything (obviously). It's not all glitz and glamour. When I think of LA, I think of traffic, massive amounts of people, and crappy buildings/architecture from the 60s/70s. The vast majority of the city is actually pretty ugly and a huge challenge to navigate. That said, there's so much opportunity, and it can obviously be incredibly fun if you want it to be. I personally love it, but it's taken a long time for me to feel that way.

I once ate a taco next to Vinnie Chase at 2:00 in the morning on West 6th street. He was a dewsh.

One of my favorite celebrity stories happened just a few months ago. I was at a relatively low key bar in Austin, when Taylor Kitsch walks in. I recognized him right away, and turned to my group of friends, and say, "Hey, Taylor Kitsch is here."
They all looked at me confused and one says, "Who?" So I rattle off some of his stuff, Friday Night Lights, John Carter, Lone Survivor..." And they do a collective head nod with realization to who he is. Then my drunk friend turns and screams at him...
"Bro, you and Rihanna KILLED IT in Battleship!!!"

Holy ****... you ate ****ing Pop Ice with Andre Aggasi and his family??? It would've been an awesome story no matter what you did, but the fact you guys ate a cheap popsicle aimed at 6 year olds is incredible.
That sounds like a scene from a Wes Anderson movie.
quote:It's not really a story, but one night I was flying late out of LAX and the guy ahead of me...just looked familiar.
Man, those stories you always hear about with those kinds of celebs always bum me out. It's like they have no other valuable skills, and when they cease being legit famous they're just screwed.
