My First Celebrity Sighting...

.

... was Charlie Sheen and Kato Kaelin
at Planet Hollywood, April 1995.

I'd completely forgotten about this. I was going through old pictures yesterday - if you follow me on Facebook you might've noticed - and came upon these shots and figured, what with all the Sheen hoopla as of late, they'd be worth sharing.

I was visiting NYC for the very first time, here to talk a look at NYU where I was considering going to college. I was doing the sight-seeing schtick when lo and behold, there was Charlie Sheen and Kato Kaelin. I should still have a Planet Hollywood t-shirt signed by Charlie Sheen buried somewhere at my mother's - I wish I had it right now! I'll have to dig it up the next time I'm home I guess. I remember I went sort of slack-jawed yokel at meeting such a big celebrity and he called me out on it, sarcastically asking me if I was having a good time while I stood there terrified and dumb. Why he and Kato Kaelin of all people were doing publicity stops together I'll leave to those with tiger blood in their imaginations.
