The Time I Ignored a Celebrity

Friday night, Larry played a free show at the Illini Union, and after his set, I went outside with Angelina so she could smoke. It was raining and cold, so the few of us outside were all huddled under the overhang for shelter. A man walked up and started chatting with some girls standing near us. He glanced our way a few times and he and I exchanged smiles — I couldn’t shake the feeling that I knew him from somewhere.

He was wearing a distinctive jacket and a paperboy cap, and seemed like he was waiting for a ride, so I finally decided that he was a cab driver and that I’d just seen him around town.

It was Joe Pantoliano.
