Yesterday's exciting celebrity sightings!

On my way to work I saw Blackwolf the Dragonmaster: The Unofficial Wizard of New York City! He was lurking in the subway station right by my apartment. I tried not to gawk but found it a bit difficult as it isn't every day you see a wizard on the A train platform (had it been a man helling "BIYA!" and stinking of urine, that wouldn't have been as remarkable). We briefly made eye contact and I was amazed at the seriousness of his gaze. Normally when you see someone that is dressed as a wizard you would expect a hint of irony in their stare but this man's eyes seemed only to say, "I am a wizard," from behind his LensCrafter glasses.

Later on yesterday I saw William Fichtner shopping with who I presume were his wife and child. He didn't appear to be as "by the book" as his character in Armageddon. I wanted to shake his hand and say, "Please allow me to shake the hand of the guy that asked Liv Tyler to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest guy that he ever met."

After careful consideration I remained silent and went about my business.

I saw Triumph the dog on TV make fun of the wizard guy. I felt sorry for him. William Fitchner was in one of my favorite B movies, a Matrix rip off called EQUILIBRIUM. IT starred Christian Bale and Sean Bean. Fitchner has a very recognizable look to him, strong face bones or something.

Hmm...I didn't like IT. I think it didn't do justice to the book at all.

Other than that, the wizard guy looks hilarous. If I met him, I'd ask him to cast a spell on me.

Exactly. He was easy to spot.

He DID cast a spell on me... whether he knew it or not.

Looks like Tremble saw the wizard recently, too.

Wow, that was the SAME day I saw him... and the same subway line. I caught up with the wizard uptown while Todd seems to have left him somewhere midtown.

Who knows how many other lives that wizard touched between 34th and 168th street?

So, what does this guy do, other then walk around dressed like a wizard?

You need more than that??

Well, I understand that you don't have much of a social security system over there, so he has to do something to eat, one would think.

He occassionally goes on TV and makes an ass out of himself by doing a really bad job of acting like a wizard would act, and wearing normal 1991 style glasses.
