Hi, on Saturday before Gord's Town Hall performance, MandoAnn and I were walking down 43rd Street for the 12th time trying to scope out where Town Hall was exactly (this seemed to baffle THREE taxi drivers, but to their credit, lots of streets had been blocked off due to a protest - we don't about what because the protesters were sitting in the street on lawn chairs watching the Jumbotron. Anyway, I saw about ten feet in front of me Samuel J. Jackson (he was wearing his traditional Kanga hat); he laughed appreciatively when I said I enjoyed his movies - remembered hearing earlier that New Yorkers don't like to acknowledge celebrities so they pretend not to know them and ask for directions or something - any New Yorkers out there want to protest that? Sorry! It WAS ON TV so it MUST BE TRUE!
