Yesterday I was attending a kid's birthday party with my youngest. It was held by a group of people that I know and am friends with, but I don't know them all really well, if that makes any sense. The birthday mom was a friend's sister, with a lot of her family there. It was a very fun relaxed environment with the kids running around trying to save the universe Avengers style.
Toward the end of the party I found myself hanging out in the living room, chatting with all the adults. People started talking about Chris Pratt and his Guardians of the Galaxy role. But, not in a way that most people talk about him. They were talking about recognizing his voice, and how funny it was to see him on the screen. My confusion must have shown on my face because a friend leaned over to explain that "they [waving her hand] all went to high school with him."
Huh. Very cool.
It reminded me of listening to Jane Porter speak once and she mentioned that one of her characters physically resembled Mariska Hargitay...because they know each other. They were bridesmaids in a the same wedding.
Can you imagine how awesome that wedding album must be?
So, I started wondering, do you have any "I knew them when" stories? Or brushes with fame?
