Long Beach - April 23rd at an Outback Steakhouse Restaurant
It has been a busy last few weeks!! I flew down to LA for the weekend, and met my friend and brother for dinner @ Outback Steakhouse (my fave!) In addition to our waiter, we had some woman who looked a bit more formal than the wait staff come and take our drink order. She may have been an assistant manager, or something. After she came back with our drinks, she lingered. Then she asked if we are regulars cause we look familiar.
LOL! That was weird. I don't think I can claim that one all for myself since she was referring to all of us, but I know that it was me who she thought looked familiar :)

Long Beach Connection
Long Beach, CA - December 20, 2006
While at a bar in Long Beach, the bartender asked if I was German or Dutch. I told him Hungarian. That was that. Then 20 min later, he asks what my connection is to The Vault, a neighboring music venue that was the original destination that night, but was closed. I've never been to The Vault. I should have known where this line of questioning was going. Then 20 min later, he asks where he knows me from - I told him I live in NY, which is kind of a cop out, since I spent 20 years in Long Beach's vicinity, but I didn't know him, and I really did not want to be convincing this guy that he doesn't know me either. He was nice though.

The Little Hills of Cerritos
Los Angeles - August 7, 2006
I hurt my back this weekend :( and my chiropractor here in Cerritos does not work on Mondays so they sent me to a different guy. He came out between patients and did a doulbe take - "why do you look so familiar? Did you grow up around here?" Why yes, I did. See this is a new twist, because he might actually know me, and not just think that he knows me (turns out, he didn't really know me).
After we got our chat on, and in between yelps of pain from being cracked like a pretzel, I find out he has Hungarian blood, so perhaps the familiarity is from his heritage?!?! Not sure.
Most surprisingly, the receptionist, who I talked with extensively while waiting, had a daughter that I went to high school with and knew!!! And she didn't think she knew me. Weird ha?
So, the first three post are from three different states - my fame spans America...ha ha ha ha.
