oh yeah...

Kelly reminded me that I forgot to mention a very exciting part of our trip. We got into New York on Saturday afternoon and went out for a fantastic dinner. After dinner, The Mister and his brother went out for drinks, but I decided to head back to the apartment because I was "tired" and "pregnant". Foolishness.

J: Cel, wake up. Wake up!
C: (half asleep/annoyed) What?
J: You're never going to believe what happened to me... I just bought Jon Hamm a beer.
C: (fully awake) WHAT?!
J: He was at at the same bar as us.
C: Wait, WHAT?!
J: He came up next to me and ordered a Budweiser, and I offered to buy it for him.
C: Oh my god, Joe, did you totally creep him out?
J: Yeah, I think so... but, I told him that I lived in LA for seven years and not once did I consider going up to a celebrity, but that my wife was going to shit her pants* when she found out that I met him.
C: And?
J: Well, then he was pretty cool and thanked me for the beer. And I told him, "No, thank you for making intelligent television!".
C: Ha! You completely geeked out on Jon Hamm! Was he as attractive in real life as he is on the show?
J: Hmmm... I'm not sure, but I'm gonna say NO.
C: Good, I'm glad I missed it then.

*Way to make me look sexy in front of my boyfriend, J. Thanks a lot.

  1. Oh, that's hilarious. For some reason I find it oddly refreshing that Jon Hamm drinks Budweiser.

  7. What. The. Eff.
    You're telling me that you went home, and I spent the night trying to get back to brooklyn, and we instead we could have met Draper? That just made me cry a little bit.

  9. oohh. jon hamm. that man. is good.

    i attended a film premiere earlier this year in L.A. and jon hamm was there. i NEVER ask celebrities for their picture because i think it's awkward and annoying... but that night i made an exception and took photos with a bunch of people, so how i could NOT ask him? i probably asked him in the dumbest way, too, i don't remember. he hugged me and it was like hugging an angel. and when he smiled for the photo it probably lit up the world. i don't know, anyway. he said "cheers, darlin'" when he left. and i was so excited to treasure that photo for my whole life... until my friend's camera was stolen and i will never ever see it again. bummer times.
