It was really weird the other day. I have a pass to the pool at the local resort: the world-renowned Fairmont Algonquin.
We've had a couple stars stay there over the years: a very drunk Tina Turner, Bill Cosby etc.
Well I was in the pool and I saw this guy that looked exactly like pete townshend. Big nose, pasty british skin etc. Especially in his eyes. You know, the "suspicous pete" look. He was staring at me for some reason.
It was kind of unsettling- he was swimming around, alone, but it didn't look like he was enjoying himself. At the time I was like "nah, it couldn't be him" but now that I think about it it very well could be true!

Very strange, but surely Pete would be tanned after the recent Hawaii jaunt?

Hah. That's me!  Seriously, though, the only person I've actually bumped into was Alec Baldwin when he was filming a horrible low-budget thriller here. |

If he does, I hope he doesn't notice my Mickey Mouse swimming-trunks"  |

Not smiling or anything. It was weird. |

No  The place was crowded- it looked like he just wanted to be alone. Anyway I never saw the guy again! |

If there was no Rachel about, maybe he was lonely. |
