True Story

Last Wednesday dh and had to go to Knoxville for a business meeting. Thankfully, I was all to happy to stay at the hotel while Dean had his meeting. Caught up on a proofing deadline from a wedding photo shoot with my ever so convenient laptop.

As I'm sitting comfortably and periodically gazing out the window I see a truck like ours pull up. I automatically think this is Dean coming back from his meeting. A little early I thought but heck the truck had all the marking s of being ours including, the same dealership tag. After a few minutes I'm wondering why he isn't getting out and coming in. So I think maybe I missed him getting out and look over my shoulder and who do I see going up the stairs but Vince Vaughn the actor. Funny that my response to myself was "oh there's Vince Vaughn, now why the heck isn't Dean getting out of the truck. So I go over to it, peer inside and it's NOT Dean but a 20 something driver who apparently just dropped the (by now) ever so popular V.V. to his press meeting to promote his upcoming film Fred Claus.

The funniest part of this afternoon was watching the people as they catch a glimpse of him and their responses to having a brush with fame. Two teenagers scream and dial their girlfriends upon exiting the hotel and entering the garage, by which I'm certain that the echo could be heard for miles. Another guest sitting close by gasping with her mouth open (as he emerges from his meeting to his awaiting cloned car) where she proceeds to call a friend to say "you know what just happened?" This was utterly and completely more amusing and fascinating than watching mister V.V. himself. The reactions of people when they see someone famous is pure entertainment. As for me, I was glad to have the animation while I was waiting and to also see how this was completely lost on Dean who didn't know who he was from Adam. Wedding Crashers is just not his kind of flick..lol
