if you have the napoloean dynamite DVD don't forget to flip the disc over- there's special features on both sides. one exciting development as a fan of the movie and footnote in our oregonian journey: so I find out yesterday my wife's cousin grew up with mr. heder (napolean) and graduated with him. also, a friend of a friend claims to have dueled with mr. heder online in a halo2 deathmatch. *whew* with brushes with fame like this- I'm starting to think I might actually meet more local famous people and add to my top five local celebrity meeting list- which so far looks something like this:

------------

my top 5 local celebrity meetings:

1. peter- guitarist of dandy warhols. met him in bathroom at show at EJ's. challenged him to sword fight. he sweetly declined, with a smile.

2. tanya harding. several times while working at starbucks in lloyd center. made her grande with room americanos. she also smiled- albeit sometimes a little nervously.

3. janet weiss- drummer of sleater kinney and quasi. several times while working at starbucks (hawthorne and burnside locations). made her double tall vanilla non-fat lattes. she also smiled (most sincerely). me like janet.

4. tommmy tu-tone- creater of '8675309'. once while waiting tables downtown. it was lunch time. he seemed cool.

5. art- mr. everclear. once while waiting tables downtown. it was lunch time. he was being interviewed by the oregonian. he ordered a small salad with dressing on the side, proceeding to pick off all the croutons and eat 1/2 the salad. seemed pretty cool- very busy guy I think.

so as you can see there's room for meeting other stellar locals and I may have to expand my list to top 10 some day!
