4/26/08--Kellie Poe-Bowdren: Brush with greatness

So we get a phone call from Kellie this afternoon.  She and Andy are in Atlanta on a band trip...apparently their heads must be swimming after a brush with celebrity today.
Below, a transcript of the conversation with her mother.

"Hi there, how's the trip going?"
"We're at 6 Flags in Atlanta.  The lines are a couple of hours long, but I had to call you."
"Why?"
"You will not believe who we saw today at the park today!"
"Who?"

(brace yourself)

"Vanilla Ice."
"Uh....wow!"  (please note poorly executed enthusiasm from her mother)  "That is, uh, really, really cool."
"Isn't that awesome?"
"Um...yeah."
"Don't you know who he is?"
"Yeah."
"And wouldn't it be cool if you saw him?"
"I gotta be honest with you...I probably wouldn't even have recognized him."
"What about Jeff?"
"Uh...yeah, maybe Jeff would have."

How about her mom, throwing me under the bus?  Why would I know Vanilla Ice?

Ice Ice Baby.


Later,
Jeff
