Chess Night

Ok, so on Wednesday I opted to play chess with Roy rather than watch American Idol. We met up in Whittier at the Coffee Bean. We were blabbing about random stuff, and I was therefore not as focused as I needed to be to win the game. I made careless mistakes because I was experiencing flight of ideas. When the game finally ended, after an hour, I decided I was done for the night. All of a sudden, I noticed that there was a man that looked just like Dave Chappelle standing behind Roy. I quickly whispered to Roy, "Hey, that dude looks just like Dave Chappelle." Roy said, "You are a racist, just because he is black doesn't mean it's him." I said "take a good look, I think it is him." Then he walked right by our table. I said to him, "excuse me sir, but you bear a striking resemblance to Dave Chappelle." When he spoke, I knew for sure it was him. He stood there staring, and talked with us for a brief time. Roy and I looked at each other and laughed, there was Dave Chappelle and we froze! Damn, why didn't I bring my camera!! I texted everyone to share my excitement about my celebrity sighting. After he left, we decided to head on over to the Platypus Gallery to check out the art. I saw a few paintings that I loved. I must say, it was a swell day! However, being around my friend Roy reminded me of what a geek I am. When I told him I was looking into buying a chess shirt he said, "were the chess shirts next to the Dungeons and Dragon shirts?" I knew at that instant, that I had surpassed him in geekdom!! I should probably keep these things on the down low!
