Sometimes just the thought that my president and I share the same favorite TV show makes me happy.

Natasha Leggero
Sunset Junction
Astute readers may remember Ms. Leggero as a member of my crush worthy harem of ladies. Normally I would be too intimidated to speak to Natasha, but on Halloween I imbibed a bottle of white wine in the space of about ten minutes and miraculously all of my fears melted away. When Natasha randomly walked by me on the street I knew exactly what I had to do. Full hearts, drunk minds can’t lose!

I yelled her name.

Loudly.

Natasha turned around, finding a bearded man in maternity wear, and instead of turning foot and running, she came to me. Surprisingly, enough synapses were firing properly in my brain, for I was able to explain who I was and hold forth on a number of topics. I even briefly danced the dance of The Snuggler, to demonstrate who I was. Then the repartee came to an all too brief end as a taxi cab pulled up and I was whisked away from her.

Andre Royo
UCB on Franklin
BUBS! Holy shit, what do you say to this guy? Bubs and a friend were walking around outside the UCB, trying to get into the Jeff Garlin Combo platter show with Patton Oswalt and Sarah Silverman. They didn’t appear to have much luck, but as soon as the line started to move they were ferried inside. I ended up sitting four seats away from Bubs and can say that he seemed to be quite the laugher. As I was leaving he was standing by the bathroom and I was tempted to say, “Good to see you sober, Bubs,” but instead smiled and went on my way.

Jessy Schram
UCB on Franklin
According to her myspace page, in addition to an apparently outsized ego, “Jessy possesses an intangible star quality rarely seen, with beauty, intelligence and talent that is readily apparent, but not intimidating, and which appeals to young and old alike.” She has guest starred on “Veronica Mars” (which was why I recognized her) and a number of TV shows and also makes really, really crappy, radio friendly music. In person I have to say that the star quality was not quite as strong, nor as readily apparent, as her biography would have you believe. She did say excuse me when she asked to walk by, so kudos for good manners!

Michael Peña
The Echo, Sunset, basically all over Silverlake
I recognized this guy from his brief stint on “The Shield” while at The Echo and gave him his proppers for holding his own against Walton Goggins. I fear that he may have taken my innocuous compliment for more than it was, because ever since then he has become a constant presence in my life. After moving to Silverlake, I’ve learned that I can count on two things in this world: 1. The sun will always rise in the east, and 2. No matter whether I’m riding my bike, going to shows, restaurants, etc, Michael Peña will be there. He has become my rock. My latino hipster that I can always count on to come through with a warm smile, good cheer, and a doff of his Newsies cap.

Adam Scott
Gelson’s grocery on Highland
The first thing I thought when I saw this guy was “I saw your prosthetic penis on ‘Tell Me You Love Me,’” but it didn’t seem like an appropriate thing to say. I wish I had seen “Stepbrothers” at that point, because I would have been tempted to yell, “Dane Cook’s on Pay-Per-View in 15 minutes!” Seemed like a nice guy.
