MODERATORS
I startled Paul F Tompkins at an improv show by bumping into him as we both rounded a corner. We spoke really briefly but he was funny, courteous and we both apologized for startling the other and I laughed at his good joke about it and he politely pretended to laugh at mine.
I saw a Sedin twin (no idea which one) and we gave the guy nod to each other as I biked past. Oh, and last year I saw Rick Tocchet during the playoff run (but he was on the phone and I didn't want to bug the guy.)
The best one was Kyle Wellwood, who was a mediocre but adorable player. But I saw him at a DJ set where he was with some famous ufc guy and together they were with a half dozen women, none of whom were interested in Wellwood who sat around looking jealous and vaguely annoyed.
The Tompkins story is really nice! It's really considerate of him to pretend to laugh at your jokes
Fully agree, he's always struck me as a food person on stage and it was a relief he lived up to it.
