apartment, we are beginning to see celebrities again.On Friday night, as I was walking home from work, there were the typical annoying tourists blocking the sidewalks as they took pictures. I was pretty oblivious to it all since I was rushing home with my cell phone pressed against my ear while trying to balance work folders and our late night take-out dinner. As I tried to duck to get out of some tourist's photo, I realized that there were several people taking pictures of the same thing. I turned to see what I walked into the middle of - there, standing less than two feet from me, was Neil Patrick Harris. I stopped to gawk for a moment as strangers were walking up to shake his hand and take his picture. I could tell he was a little annoyed that he couldn't leave his Broadway show in peace; however, he was polite and respectful to all of his fans. He seemed like a nice guy. I was a little surprised that he is a smaller guy than thought from seeing him on television. Wife actually met him years ago (before I ever met Wife) when she was a teenage fan.
Yesterday morning, as Wife and I were preparing to enjoy our lazy Saturday morning (we stopped and got bagels and coffee and took it to a small park along the Hudson River), we ran into Constantine (the guy from American Idol who is now starring in the Broadway show Rock of Ages - which was, coincidentally, the show that Neil Patrick Harris was walking out of the night before). It was actually kind of funny, because I instantly recognized him, but it took Wife a minute. She looked at him. He looked her. She looked at him again, knowing she recognized him from somewhere. He smiled at her. She smiled back. She turned to me and said, "I think I work with him...I know him, but I can't place him." I replied, "Isn't that Constantine?" Her eyes lit up, "It is! Hang on, I need to go ask him to do a high kick." Yeah, I'm sure he never hears that.
If you don't get that joke, watch the video below.
