(btw, you may have already seen this picture on thefresnan.com i sent it to him first so he could have the dope breaking news.)
here's the story. i'm cruising on my vegas on the way to work. i pull up to the light @ van ness & mckinley and see a mercedes in the lane next to me, one car up. nice looking convertible sl 500. black, top down. wait, what's that i see on the other side of the car...timmy t! dude's got his name on the back of the car. i think,
"can it really be him? do i actually know what he looks like? yes, i watched the video this week."
as traffic begins to move, i see his face, i can totally confirm it's him. don't know who the lady in the car was, but it was timmy t driving. anyhow, we drive up van ness, past clinton, and between clinton and shields it seems the driver that's next to him has also realized it's him. they're sort of chatting but i can't hear what, but timmy waves and it seems friendly. the t is turning right on shields, but i'm going to go straight.
no i'm not. i think,
"crap, my camera phone is in my backpack. can i reach it? i'll give it a go if we stop @ shields and blackstone."
fortunately, it's a red light and i can reach the iphone/batphone. here's the pic i snapped:
so, i'm not sure if it's a good pic, but the light's going to turn and so i jam my phone in my pocket and think maybe i'll try again if we stop before fresno street, where i'm now planning to turn and head for work. unfortunately, no red @ fresno. why not, i'll head up to first in hopes that i'll get one more try (you see what i did there?) no matter what, i'm turning left on first street to head north. omg, timmy t just pulled into the turn lane in front of me. we've got a red!
so, i snap one, but realize my headlight is totally jacking up the shot of his name. i back up a little and turn the wheel, and snap a decent shot, although a little crooked.
from there, we parted ways. timmy t flipped a u-turn and pulled into the taco bell on the corner. not sure if he wanted lunch, or if he was freaked out by the weirdo on a motorcycle taking pictures of him. it was about 11:30, so either could have worked. i just made a simple left and headed off to work.
does this make me paparazzi?
