Celebrity...

Yesterday the General and I went to get some sneakers. Foot Locker is literally around the corner from our job so we went in. As we were paying for his shoes, there was a noise behind us, almost like a girlish yelp, but ew both knew there were on guys standing in the store. So I turned around and there was Spike Lee walking down the aisle of the store. He was cool, calm, collected. The girl at the checkout's eyes almost popped out of her head, and she got this weird like star-struck smile on her face. Spike was busy picking up a new limited release Jordan bag. The Foot Locker employee that was manning the door ran next door to Tempo, and told the kids who were working there and like three of them came into the store to stare at him. We laughed at their juvenile excitement. Some even snapped secret pics with their Sidekicks.

This is New York City, The Village in particular, you are bound to see celebrities all times of the day, in stores shopping like the rest of us. The area around my office has been in countless movies. The Interpreter, Hitch, 16 Blocks and some that wont be released till next year have been filmed here since started working for my company. So i'm an expert at being cool in the presence of celebs. It also helps that I work for Billboard Magazine and MTV has a floor, we get celebs all the time in the building.

It was just funny to me...
