David Bowie and the late night munchies!
My daughters and I were having a late dinner at "The Clock" restaurant. We walked in, were seated, and our server came over. He started doing Elvis impressions. After he left, we looked around the restaurant and started putting different actors to various people and workers there. Toward the end of our meal, in walked two men and they seated themselves at the counter. I mentioned to my girls how one of them was a "dead ringer" for David Bowie! So, we started talking about that. Then I told them I was going to go up to him before we left, to check it out, and say something to him! He was, afterall, just sitting at the counter with this other man (a HUGE man I might say... bodyguardish) and this really wasn't something out of character for me to do! So, upon receiving the check, I walked up to the counter with my girls,looked right at this man, and said, "I loved your Alladin Sane album and loved you in 'Man Who Fell to Earth'"! And in a hushed voice, "Oh, and I won't tell anyone that you're David Bowie!" He looked at me with a big smile, and in the most 'perfect' British accent said, "Well, thank you very much!" Then I said, "Have a wonderful meal!" and they both responded "Thanks!". The huge bodygaurd-looking man said, (in a wonderful British accent as well) "Hope you had one as well!" and we then paid our bill and left! I was giddy as a schoolgirl when I got outside, and so were my daughters, because as soon as we approached him, we knew who he was. The true validation, however, was that wonderful voice floating out of his mouth! He was 'regular people' just chillin' at The Clock!
