Went to Twist and had lots of good sushi, humus, mussels, and other yummy stuff. After we finished we walked around Phipps Plaza, and there a Community Childrens display and no one around except three people sitting at this booth. And one of those guys totally looked like Ben Stein. Well we ended up talking to them and it was Ben Stein! He had finished giving a talk and was waiting to get dinner and saw the booth for children in need. He decided to stick around and see if he could help out. So he just sat there and read his book and drank his starbucks&#8230; just hanging.<\/p>\n<p>Ben was a very nice guy- totally friendly and warm. Very pleasent guy to meet. Amazing that I totally want to be in the production world and this guy could make it happen. But of course I wasn&#8217;t going to ask for a job or something like that.<\/p>\n<p>anyway- didn&#8217;t have my 20D, but i had my trusty cell-phone! Too bad. it would have been a cool picture blown up. But this will do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hanging with Ben Stein, originally uploaded by mdshivers.
