OK OK I know this is yet another NON-CODE post but oh well.
So living in Southern California is pretty cool. It's almost December and it is a beautiful 80 degrees. Since it is such a beautiful day, my girlfriend and I decided to go to the LA Farmers Market . Now if you are used to going to farmers markets in your area, this is nothing like it. It has been around since the beginning of time and although it does sell great produce, it is more of a social place. The huts selling food have grown into a mini-mall of cultural diversity. Every type of food you can imagine is served here but it has more of an old coffee shop feel then anything else.
Being so close to Hollywood, Farmers Market is somewhat of a mecca for the stars to hang out. We are pretty used to this and pretty much ignore most of the stars that we see there ( Except of Wayne Brady, but that is another story ;) )
So we found our way to the Farmers Market today and headed straight for the French Crepe place that we always eat at. We usually like to sit at the counter but it was pretty busy today so my girlfriend grabbed a table nearby while I looked to see if there was room at the counter at on the other side of the restaurant. While looping over to the other side I walked right past this blond girl wearing big glasses and carrying a small dog. I thought to myself, hmmmm that girl is trying a bit to hard to look like Paris Hilton. Only in Hollywood right? When I got to the other side I saw that there were two seats available next to a guy and a girl at the end of the counter and I waived my girlfriend over. When she reached the stools, she said to me, did you see Paris Hilton walk by with her body guard?
I thought a second and said (pretty loud) that I thought is was someone who was trying a bit to hard to LOOK like Paris. We laughed a bit and my girlfriend commented that her nose looked even bigger in person. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that the people next to us kept looking at us and were laughing to themselves. I thought that maybe they got a kick out of our comments. So we sat down and started to look at the menu.
We were about to order when we realized that the same people that were laughing at our comments were smoking at the counter even though it was a non-smoking area. We were a bit annoyed but instead of saying anything, we decided to go back to the table. As we passed them on the way back to the table, they looked at us again and we were about to give the "I am annoyed that you are smoking look" when we realized that it was Paris' sister, Niki Hilton and her friend sitting next to us. What a hoot!!! When we got to the table, we just started cracking up. We could not have planned it any better. They sure seemed to get a kick out of it :)
Oh well, we had a great dinner and then headed home. I just thought it was a funny story so I though I would share.
