      Cool story. I think I might have seen you actually. I recognise the Batman t-shirt You went to the Stephen Fry show right? Sat on the front row of the King's Row? stage right on their right?

      I had a weird experience when they played the Apollo last year. I bumped into Teller 3 times around London. Once at Green Park station, me and my friend had just arrived and were on the way to our hotel and I said to my mate "We're in London, we're bound to see someone famous, whoever spots the first famous person wins a quid" As soon as I said it I looked around and saw Teller walking along the platform. At that point I just waved at him and he waved back. (My mate didn't give me the quid because he thought I had spotted him first).

      Then the next day I was sat in a Starbucks window in Hammersmith and my friend said "Hey, isn't that Teller?. He was outside the Starbucks looking around so I left my drink and rushed out to say "Hello" and tell him I was going to tomorrow tonight's performance. He said "Nice to meet you, do you know where the theatre is?" I said "Yeah, I'll show you" and I walked him down to the theatre. I asked if Penn was already there he said "I don't know, I was just told to get there for 6:30"

      The next night I went to the show and afterwards during the autograph signing he spotted me and said "Oh hey, it's you again" That was a crazy moment.

      I went to two of the shows so the next day I was walking around Bond Street in a Richard Dawkins t-shirt and he was walking the other way towards me and I think he spotted the t-shirt first and was about to say something but then realised it's the same guy he's seen for the past 3 days. He said Hello again complimented me on the t-shirt. I told him I was going to the show again tonight and he said thank you.

      Cheers

      Jamie
