I think Richard Roeper is stalking me.
No, really. In the past month I've seen him at least four times, each while in the elevator. Usually I'm going down and just happen to catch the same elevator he's coming down on from the 60th floor. Today I actually caught the same elevator from the Lobby.
Now, you might be thinking: That can't be him! You mean to tell us that the same guy who sits next to Roger Ebert on that movie show lives in your building and you've had brushes with greatness on four different occasions?! How can we even be SURE that it's even the same dude?
Because I asked the Doorman, and the Doorman always knows. ;-)

Freaky-deaky!
Posted by: Austin on May 27, 2003 09:40 PMit appears that his name is richard, not robert.

Posted by: Austin on May 28, 2003 06:12 AMMaybe he rides up and down the elevator all day long, just so that when someone gets in, he can use his thumb to indicate the direction he is going and/or his opinion of said rider.
Posted by: Shawn on May 28, 2003 10:50 AMI think that's bad, since I've seen him more times going down than up.
Maybe he's confusing me with "Austin Powers 4 - Another Sequel, Another Day."
