Place: Coffee Bean (at Hillhurst)
Celeb: Steve Perry



Not a big fan of Journey but I recognize Mr. Perry when I see him. The outdoor patio is well lit and I see him sit down with a male friend. He looks aged and a bit crumpled like a book's binding that's been through several hands. He almost looks Armenian but I might be influenced by the loud conversation between two Armenian men nearby and the table of young Armenian high schoolers who are cackling like mules at the sound of a distant friend coming through loudly on the microphone of their cell phone. If this were Tawain I would think they could be caned for being such a public nuisance.

At any rate, I overhear Mr. Perry (who I am 97% certain is him) who relates some story to his companion about a chick who saw him and was on the phone then was flustered and told the person on the other end to hold on...didn't catch the rest of his sad tale of public recognition.

If you want to see what he looks like these days, you can see him as I saw him looking at http://www.steveperryfanclub.homestead.com/

Rock on!
