I’m in LA for a few days for a conference for work.  I’m sitting in the lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel, catching up on work email before the next session, and I just saw Forest Whitaker!!  Even though I spent a summer in LA back in 2005, I never saw any celebrities so I always felt like my LA experience wasn’t complete.  Forest (we’re on a first name basis now that I’ve goofly smiled at him a few times) was walking through the lobby.  He walked back and forth several times.  He looked pretty confused, the way people usually do when they’re looking for someone and feeling vulnerable, thinking that they may have been stood up.  He finally met up with a hot blonde chick and some other guy.
