My brush with the Pittsburgh famous

For those of you that haven't heard about my adventures in celebrity last week I thought I would share with you. Sooooo.....I was out to dinner last Wednesday night with some girlfriends of mine at a new Mexican restaurant up in Wexford and we saw Alan Faneca. He walked into the bar and my friend Missy and I went to investigate if it was really him. We decided the best way would be to breeze by and look in on our way to the ladies room. So that's what we did. I took one look in the bar and when I did, we made direct eye contact. I probably looked like a deer in headlights. I knew it was definitely him or Grizzly Adams and I'm pretty sure that guy is dead so it had to be Faneca. We scurried off to the bathroom and while in there my friend Missy says, "Trish, what if when we walk back out there, I trip right in front of the bar then he'll have to help us." Ha! Well it's a good thing that I was in the bathroom cause I almost peed myself at her suggestion. Anyway, ends up he was waiting for his wife and daughter to arrive for dinner. And where do you think they sat?......in the booth directly behind ours!! The backs of the booths were too high so we couldn't see them. I wanted to get a picture with him but the son of a B ignored me when I tried to get his attention. For real!! How rude!! Half of us thought he didn’t hear me, the other half thought he heard and just ignored me. I waited till he was done with dinner and paid his check. He got up and walked back towards the bathroom/bar and I said, "Alan! Alan!" He just kept right on walking. Oh well, I’m pretty sure the picture would have been of just my head and his chest anyway. He is ginormous!! Definitely wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley. Seriously, he's a scary, big man....
