I JUST met him about an hour ago!

I was walking to the Gelsons down on Santa Monica Blvd., for lunch. I walk in and guess who's at the ATM, JEMAINE!!! I nervously walked over and said how awesome he was and the show was too. He smiled and thanked me, that was it.

So my boss comes in about 5 minutes later and I excitedly tell him that I just met Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords (my boss knows how much I love them, I sing the Robot song at least twice a week). My boss sees him and walks right over to him, starts saying "My assistant loves you would you take a picture with her?" MORTIFING! Anyway, to make a long story a little longer, my boss took two pictures of us with his camera phone. Everyone in the store was staring at us. He was so cool, we chatted for a minute and I told him how inspiring I thought he was and he just smiled with his pearly whites and beautiful green eyes and shook my hand and thanked me once again.

That made my whole year! I'm supposed to go out with the I like tonight, but he'll probably flake, but I don't care I MET JEMAINE CLEMENT TODAY!!!! When my boss emails me the pics I'll post them for all you fellow Jemaine lovers to see!

Wow, that's awesome. You're very lucky, though I can see how it would be mortifying to have your boss do a thing like that. I'd be embarrassed as hell, but I'd also be grinning like an idiot all day. :D
I sometimes wished I lived in America so I could spot cool people. meh.

You know I was mortified but I'm SO glad my boss did that otherwise I wouldn't have that moment captured in a photograph.

Where in this world do you live?

I live in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

I've had quite a similar thing happen to me once with a dutch comedian. We were in a bar to celebrate my birthday, and he was there too and one of my friends went over to tell him I was a fan and that it was my birthday and he came over to have a little chat. I thought I was gonna die, but it was pretty cool. :D

OH wow The Netherlands pretty cool! I'm in boring old Los Angeles! That's pretty cool the comedian came over and chatted with you, how awesome is that!? I wish I could have talked to Jemaine forever but I'll always remember that. I wish my boss would hurry up and email me those pictures already!
