Holy Celebrity Weekend!

I must confess, I am a celebrity monger.  I love celebrities.  I'm an avid subscriber to People magazine and thoroughly love anything and everything celebrity. I read it all. Suck it all up. And oh my - this was my weekend.  Friday night was an easy night since we were planning on getting up early Saturday morning for the day trip to Napa. We all went to dinner at Republic to have a nice meal and call it an early night.  As we were leaving, low and behold, Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs comes meantering in.  Apparently, he lives in San Fran not to far from Republic and he was coming to have a few drinks and hang out.  I didn't have my camera with my that night so unfortunately, no documentation; however, I have several witnesses that saw him there.
I thought I had missed my celebritunity, but alas, there was napa.  There were ten of us that all rented a bus and took a day trip to Napa.  It was awesome.  The weather was perfect and the wineries were great - we had a great time.  Towards the end of the afternoon, we were enjoying our tasting when Chris B in our group recognized the gentleman in the group next to us.  It was Dave Grohl.  For all you rock band fans out there, Dave Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana and front man and songwriter for the Foo Fighters.  I was not going to let this opportunity pass me by, so we kindly asked if he would take a picture with us.  He was super nice about it (and I must say - I played it super cool) - and voila - we have this beautiful picture in the wine cellar. Dave was really awesome.  After I told him that Chris B (the one who identified him in the first place) was a huge fan but too shy to say anything, he went over and introduced himself and took a picture with him and Lorenza as well.  It was awesome.  We were happy - and the wine was pretty good too.
