Celebrity Sightings, Parts 2 and 3

So this has turned into a crazy week for seeing people.* Last night, I was sitting on my Metro North train reading, when who should sit down across from me but...








New Yorker editor David Remnick?

I was finishing up a re-read of regular NYer contributor Richard Ford's early novel, The Ultimate Good Luck. I tried to see what book he was reading, but couldn't catch the cover.

Then this morning in Grand Central I'm pretty sure I saw Larry Charles, writer/director on Seinfeld and now Curb Your Enthusiasm. You know, the one who looks like Manson?















He was with several other people -- possibly doing some location scouting for Curb?

*Or seeing people who look like these people? I always have that doubt, though Yahoo! Images searches seem to suggest they were the real deals...

The only global celeb one ever gets to see in Basel is Roger Federer. :-)

I saw him in a Starbucks once. :-)

That's a good one. My wife and friends weren't very impressed or excited by these two -- Federer would probably interest them more!
