This will be my first post in the blog world and let me tell you its going to be a good one...I hope!
Yesterday was a good friend of mines birthday and as good friends do, we went out to dinner to celebrate. We went to this really cute Italian restaurant Bianca's in the LES. Being that it was small and there were 11 of us I didn't know what to expect. Well when we got there, there was a long table right in the front with only one opening...I naturally grabbed the corner seat that would trap me in there till the end of the meal, if I had to use the rest room, I was sh*t out of luck. When I first sat down I was like "wait, no body puts Katie in the corner" it was too late, people were following my lead, trapping me in the corner. Well what I thought was going to be a bad seat ended up being the best seat in the house. As I got comfortable in my little corner, Kelly to my right and Trish and Kat in front of me I began to observe the place, scope out the scene...turns out we were in the company of 2 yes 2 celebrities...Laura Dern, (Jurassic Park, Mask are a few movies) I know her as the wife of musician Ben Harper. I noticed her first and my mind was naturally distracted by this. I am by no means a crazy person who would make a scene about seeing a celeb but I thought it was pretty cool. So as I am sitting there I soon realize that she is dining with Sheryl Crow. Wow. I got excited over it because she is pretty amazing, I have been a fan of hers for a while, I def bought her first album and I am pretty sure she inspired me to play the guitar. That inspiration slowly slipped through my fingers but I got a guitar out of it.
So as the night moves on, I still find myself intrigued in their conversation, their mannerisms, wishing I could hear their convo...ok this sounds stalkerish...but I was consumed by it. Randomly updating Facebook which is so rude to do while out to dinner...my apologies on that but thought I should spread the word.
Desert time and the waiter brings a piece of cake with a candle in it. We begin to sing and LD and SC put there forks down, I put my wine glass down and we all began to sing. The song ends and we all clap including our new famous friends...Sheryl taps my friend Rishi on the shoulder and wished him a happy birthday!!! She was sooo sweet!!
Before we left another conversation was sparked up by her, Rishi and her discussed Texas and how she loves it there. Perhaps she's still in love with Lance?!?! Kidding. Or am I???
We went outside and all parted ways but not without expressing our happiness of meeting one of the coolest celebs out there.
Cheers to Sheryl Crow and Laura Dern.
Picture to come tomorrow
