My First Celebrity

September 20, 2008

Hello all,
I know it has been a long time since I’ve last posted, I hope to rectify this situation by filling you in on what has been going on in my life over the past few months. But today I will just tell the story of how I saw my first celebrity today.
I currently work at a Staples in Red Deer, Alberta. I was walking through the mall with my Divisional Manager, Ken Coulton, and I noticed this guy walking with a woman on the other side of the mall walkway. I thought he seemed familiar but I couldn’t quite place him. Anyway, it suddenly came to me, “That’s Chief Tyrol!”

So I turn to my DM and ask him if he’s ever watched BSG, and he goes, I’ve seen the show a couple of times, so I say, “Is that the Chief?”

We both walk back out into the mall and he sees the guy and goes, “Yes, that’s him!, BSG is filmed in Vancouver right?”

I agree with him and we go back into our store. He then turns to me and goes, “We should get him back in here, you know he’s a Cylon, right”

And i go, “We should get him back in here and ask him how it all ends, since filming is all wrapped up”

So that is the story of my first run-in with a celebrity from one of my favorite tv shows ever. I have no idea why he would be in my mall in Red Deer, its not that impressive. The only thing better would be if he was in the market for a business machine, as I am the sales manager of that division.
