    Thanks. He's split from Koi now. I caught his eye as he was walking out of the Square and said "how do you do." He smiled back and said "hello."

    That's the coolest thing to happen today.
    So far.

    No, seriously. That was cool.
    I can't believe I just said hi to Elvis Costello.
    I mean, damn.

    I was teasing.

    I'm pretty excited, and I wasn't even there.

    Jeez, that's absolutely untoppable.

    Good deal, Michael. Awesome anecdote to carry around with you forever!

    Man, that rocks! Did you find out from hayduke's post? THat is so cool if you did and took a jaunt down there to check it out.

    Damn, you Knoxvillians've got it made. Sometimes truly makes me wish I lived in the city myself.

    ~m,
    Sounds like you played it cool and have a great story cinco de Mayo story for posterity.
    Congrats!

    (I probably would have been too shy to have spoken to him but would have gone to the Koi and asked if I could "bus" his table and perhaps removed his napkin or glass for posterity. Speaking to him is way cooler than a used glass.)

    Yeah. Basically I saw Hayduke's post, checked the time, and took a stroll. I don't think I'd have had the nerve to say anything except for that as we past and I broke into a big smile, he smiled back as if to acknowledge, and I managed to spit out "how do you do" while trying to act like I was just passing by. Wish I'd said "welcome back to knoxville."

    Damn. Did I mention that was cool?
