OT - Namedropping

Went to the casino for the first time in a while last night ... some American not of the same colour (what is the correct PC term for Afro-American these days?) sat to my left when a seat became vacant.

Me being a friendly guy and all started up a conversation - actually I just wanted to find out if he could play poker - and over the course of half an hour the salient parts of the conversation went something like this:


"g'day Rob" "Nathan"
"what part of the States you from?" "Philadelphia"
"here long?" " 'til Sunday, then to Australia for a month"
"got that wrong, should be NZ for a month and Australia for a week" (sorry cousins, had to throw that in)
"here on holiday?" "touring"
"oh you a muso?" "yeah"
"oh ok mind me asking what group you're in; probably haven't heard of it" "nah, no problem, Boyz II Men"

Well after picking me jaw up off the floor carried on talking - helluva nice guy and defo the most famous person I've ever played poker with. Might even go and buy their latest CD for the wife with the money I won off him :-)
