I usually walk home for lunch (benefits of living three blocks away), but by the time I got to the lower levels and to the street, the sky had opened up and it was pouring. I turned around and decided just to take a sandwhich at my desk. Walking back into my building I ran into Adam Savage and his Mythbusters crew who had sprinted down the street and into our doorway to get shelter from the downpour. A few months ago the Mythbusters visited my friend and hypnotist Andrew Gentile to investigate, as apart of their "can you sneak past guard dogs like in the movies" segment, if one could hypnotize a dog. Even though he was successful (although he admits the dog may have just been sleepy), when I tuned into the broadcast last week I saw that they did not use his segment.
I gave Adam a tap on the shoulder and "said, "Hey, Love the show." to which he and the crew sort of lit up (nice on such a crappy day).
Ah, the fame of blowing stuff to smithereens on a weekly basis on the tarmac in Alameda.
(There's a country song in there somewhere, I just know it.)
