Title: I saw the Director on the Metro yesterday
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on May 29, 2009, 09:32:14 am
I was riding the Red Line, between Union Station and Metro Center, about 10:45 am. I was headed to my dentist, in need of a major repair.

There he was...dark shades, black t-shirt, gray sweat pants. Earphones in ears and reading a Rolling Stone.

I would have introduced myself, but my dental issues caused me to be in a less than social mood, and he looked like he was quite seriously into the Rolling Stone.

I believe your story, with one exception: The Director would not be wearing sweat pants.

He was wearing sweat pants both times I've seen him. At least that's what I would call them.

True story.

I don't doubt that you believe what you're saying - but facts are facts.  The Director would not be wearing sweat pants.  I think you're likely mistaken.

What would he be wearing? The looked like some sort of sweatpants type material with pockets.

Have you been in his closet?

What would you venture to guess he thinks of Chester French?

I don't need to guess what he thinks of Chester French.  I met them while standing next to him.  I believe he introduced me to them, if memory serves correctly.

As for his closet, I don't need to have been inside of it to know what would and would not be in there.

I have it on good authority that they were parachute pants.

If not sweatpants, they were more likely parachute pants than jeans.

i'm confident thedirector is less than flattered that you associated him, in any way, with that picture.
Title: Re: I saw the Director on the Metro yesterday
Post by: vansmack on June 03, 2009, 06:14:09 pm
I just received an email from the Director.  He assures me unequivocably that they were parachute pants and that he was proud to be displaying them in public. He was only sad that there wasn't enough room on the train to bust out his inner Hammer.

Either that or he was really pissed, totally insulted by my suggestion that he would be caught dead in parachute pants and now he's not speaking to me.  I'll let you be the judge. Only one thing can fix this. 

Strippers.

I also saw him at a show at Nissan a week ago, but he was in a rush, so I didn't get to say hi :(

wait - this wouldn't have been the COLDPLAY show, right?  and please remind us, how could someone as hispsterific as you be caught at a COLDPLAY concert?  maybe that's why you didn't say hi... didn't want to admit you were there.

Bullshit story!

I'm with Az. This was while you were at the Coldplay show with that 'friend' you did some travel time research for. Assuming there was a 'friend' that you dragged along with you.

The Director was running out hoping he could excape before anyone saw him. Leave it to our man Joe, ace investigative snoop reporter, to come back and give us an account on what was worth reporting. Good work!  8)

What's up with you Joe? I always took you for being one who didn't give a shit about what others thought regarding the shows you attend and music you like? Hanging out with too many faux hipsters or something? Fuck 'em!

To be fair, a friend of his won tickets and took him.

So he can't be fully exonerated. :)

Man, this made me laugh.  I can imagine, though, from two conversations with the Director, that he was definitely not embarrassed to be seen at Coldplay. Love him or hate him, that dude has no qualms about liking a band.

Now Joe on the other hand...  ;D

Hey Jag...that's a true statement  ;D

I was actually not embarrassed to be seen at Coldplay, I was just playing with sweetcell since I made fun of Coldplay before (I actually own the first three albums and seen them in the past). I actually make fun of a lot of bands I like but still see them anyway...that's just me...

I did enjoy the gig very much...it was a good thing that I did not hear any of the new album except for that one song that they overplay on the radio...

The Director certainly would not avoid anybody at a show to avoid being seen there.  He owns his concert going experiences fully and openly.

excuses... sounds like you're back-peddling :)  the only reason that i started all this COLDPLAY business is to call you out.  you've made fun of people in the past for seeing un-hipster shows.  you now have even less grounds to do so than before.

not sure if this is a typo, a great bit of insider humor :)

i saw the director on saturday, at my wedding.  he kicked ass not only behind the decks as our DJ (shared duties, both DJs kept us dancing until 2:30 AM), he also blew minds at the ceremony itself.  we had a quaker wedding where anyone present was welcome to stand up and speak whatever he/she had in his/her heart.  the director has a big heart. 

i had the best weekend ever.

Man, a spokeword, wedding-themed "Julian's America" trashing the open bar selection and the bride's gown?  That would've ruled.

Did I ever tell you about the time TheDirector took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally TheDirector takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half?until sure enough, someone constructs a bar around us. Well, the day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. TheDirector yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found 'em!'

There would've been so many Vera Wang jokes. And I would've sat down at the end, then immediately stood back up and announced how much the wedding cost and how I would rank it on a scale of 1 to 10.

lol :)

since i'm sure julian is dying to know, the dress was by Oleg Cassini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Cassini)... so not as jocular as a Wang, admittedly, but very pretty. 

julian would have destroyed the bar selection in a review: it was mostly a champagne & wine sort of affair.  only alternatives were vodka from the old country (drunk straight for the most part), a very respectable single malt (forget which one but folks loved on it), and VS cognac <insert embarrassment> and a keg of locally-brewed (http://www.harpoonbrewery.com/index.cfm?pid=28493) summer ale.  looking back, it was a mistake not to have served a good bourbon given the missus' southern roots.  i suspect that the JA rating of this offering would be in the 2 to 3 range.

Congrats, Sweetcell. Your life is now over.

My wife got her wedding dress from JCrew for like 50 bucks or something. That was before JCrew got the idea to make wedding dresses that they actually called "wedding dresses" and charge a higher price.
