Celebrities are watching you while you sleep in your underwear
Posted by erin at February 13, 2003 09:51 AMI'm really tired today, and I'll tell you why.
Sure, I stayed up too late, as usual, but today is different because last night my roommate brought home a celebrity. We'll call him "Dave".
I didn't actually get to meet Dave, because I went to sleep around 1:30, and my roommate came home with him (both of them drunk, I'm sure) at around 3 or 4 in the morning. One major drawback to my apartment is that the bathroom is only accessible via my room, so it woke me up as my roommate and Dave made no less than 3 trips to the bathroom - made worse, perhaps, by the shoes and backpacks that litter the narrow path to the bathroom door.
Granted, my roommate usually comes home at 4am from her job, and quite often uses the bathroom at that hour. But usually she doesn't wake me up, because usually she hasn't brought home a celebrity.
I knew she had a date with Dave this evening. He gave her his phone number when he did a show at the comedy club attached to her strip club. He wrote on the napkin "Comedian - Bad Shirt" so she would remember who he was - which is ridiculous, because of course she knew who he was.
She had seen his show on Comedy Central, aptly titled "Insomniac." On Insomniac, Dave visits various U.S. cities to hang out at night - late at night - interviewing anyone who happens to be awake at crazy hours.
The irony is not lost on me that the host of Insomniac caused me to lose sleep. But the show is about people who can't sleep, not waking people up!
I laid awake in bed thinking, "Oh my god, Dave is in my living room, checking out the anime posters. I wonder if he even knows what anime is. I wonder if I left any underwear in the bathroom." I kind of wanted to meet him, but meeting a celebrity while in my pajamas, with my boyfriend in his boxer shorts did not seem like the best idea at the time.
Who knows? Maybe they'll keep going out.

I, on the other hand, didn't get any sleep because I was being smushed against the wall by - get this - my significant other!
Seriously, though, I enjoy walking around NYC at 4am a lot (although it is so taxing and plays such hell with my schedule I don't often do it) which is why I think Dave Attell is a lucky man to get paid to do exactly that. He is a veteran of such weirdness that I would have had no qualms approaching him in my boxers... but the roommate might not have been so happy to see me. I suspect I will have other opportunities to speak with the man.
In Russia, television people watch you!

She's never brought Moby home. I bet they only stopped in because it was freezing and they had to go to the bathroom.
I guess. I wonder if he slept there?
Then it would be like, "Dave Attell slept here."

Who is Dave Attell? Aside from "some famous dude"?

Well, to his credit he did go to Anchorage. What was even funnier, is that the (only) bar he went to has been involved in so many lawsuits, that when a part moves for summary judgment they cite a case against that bar for a reason why it should be granted.
