Hilary Swank Sighting

Today Sherry and I went to have lunch like we do every so often and we both needed to buy food so we went to Pierpont. When we walked in there we knew something was going on because there were way too many people for Tuesday of Spring Break...we thought it was a good chance to grab some free food (Sherry managed to get some fruit). It then became clear that a movie was being shot there, which is becoming somewhat common in Ann Arbor now...which is cool. We walked thru the scene they were setting up and I said "oh this must be the Hilary Swank movie that is being shot on campus," and Sherry said "I don't really like Hilary Swank." Then as irony would have it we had lunch and walked back thru the scene and sure enough we walked right by Hilary Swank. Now I had absolutely no idea what she looks like since I've never seen a single one of her movies so Sherry had to point her out to me when we were standing right next to her. My response was "who the plain looking lady?" Sorry Hilary Swank for not knowing more of your work, but it was super cool to be able to say that I saw you in person (you join the list with Justin Timberlake of famous non-athletes that I've seen in real life). Now I will finally see one of her movies because I have to see this movie (Betty Anne Waters) when it comes out.

Hilary Swank a little bit more done up than she was this afternoon.

P.S. Apparently Minnie Driver is also over there, but the set is closed now.

You did a good job with including all the details. :)

Who can resist the free food?!

My stories are interesting...that is quite the statement from the person that just posted a story about watching a three-legged basketball game played by mascots.

It seems that there is a higher chance I would see a celebrity if I have lunch/dinner with you.
