Before we knew Him

Last night, while flicking channels I landed on “The Hour” with Geroge Stroumboloupoulos, ex vj from Much Music. He had a touching interview with Terri Irwing (Steve Irwing’s widow) and then he mentioned Adam Beach who would be on tonight. That brought me back a few years, like 16 or 17 years… (Wow, that is something that makes me sound old!). I still remember that summer evening when my friend and I met this native guy that was so cute…

In the early 90s I was single for a few years. I enjoyed the single life because I had a lot of friends and because I realised that it was better for me to be alone and happy than with someone and miserable. I wouldn’t go out that much. I’ve never really been the “bar scene” type. One of my good friends, F, was more the type who enjoyed going out. She would call me, pick me up and we would drive downtown, top off (on her Jeep!, NOT us!), and have fun. The things I did with her! Fun! Fun! Fun!

That one night we ended up on the terrace at “Le Thursday’s” on Crescent St. When we arrived there were quite a few people (it’s always quite busy in the summer, good location to "people watch"), but we managed to find a table. Next to us were those 2 guys. They looked native. One of them was really cute. My friend and I ordered our drinks and we were talking when the “not so cute” introduced himself. They were from out of town, Winnipeg, and he was all proud to say that his friend had just found out that he got his first TV role. We introduced ourselves and started chatting with them. They were fun and quite talkative. It was a nice evening. We wished them luck and went our separate ways. (yes we did!)

Yesterday when I heard George S. mention his future interview with Adam Beach, I thought “Hey I’ve met this guy when he was just starting.” He was so darn cute! With his long, jet black, hair and there was something sweet about him. I wonder if he’s still the same now that he’s getting known and that we see a lot more of him?

When is it that they turn "celebrities" and start acting like... you know... celebrities?

Cool story. I think the coolest part is the fact that you didn't need the bar scene or the expected ending after meeting some cute nice guy.

I had no idea who Adam Beach was so I google searched him. He is very cute. He was in Mystery Alaska, I love that movie.

I have always thought he was so cute! How fun that you met him! I've met a number of celebrities because of my husband's career. It's always interesting to see who is nice and who isn't.

Never heard his name before, either... but I did love Mystery, Alaska!!

wreckless: Maybe the fact that I never really enjoyed alcohol contributed to not needing the bar scene...

princess: I had to google "Mystery, Alaska" couldn't remember it... Fun movie!

paisley: Some send seriously different vibes in person, don't they?
