I am dragging today! I scored a last minute invitation for a night out last night. There is a play going on in a local little theater running through this weekend. One of the main characters in the play is a coworker of B's. It was a great time and a lot of fun to see this former military dude all decked out in stage makeup singing and dancing. You don't get to see that everyday. This guy is not new to the biz. He was in the real Top Gun when the movie Top Gun was being made. He was one of the pilots who did the actual flying in the movie. He's my neighbor. That's as close to a famous person as I have been in a while.

It's been a few years since I was flying around and seeing famous people like Sisqo, Cool and the Gang and Hulk Hogan on a regular basis. Oh the glamour.

Hong Kong has their own celebrities too. People I have never heard of. Other than Jackie Chan of course. He's the only one I recognize. There is a chain of "world class" fitness centers in Asia called California Fitness--Jackie Chan Sport Club. You should google it just to see some of the print ads. It makes me laugh. But I think mostly I find it funny here in person because of the sheer size of these prints that are in mural form on the buildings.

Speaking of "famous" people, Boy George was here playing a concert last night. B and I are just sick we didn't know this. We totally would have gone. We were talking it and we both agree that if you could draw a person that looks like Hong Kong he would look a lot like Boy George. Maybe from the Karma Chameleon video? I don't know. But I am super bummed we missed that show.
