    Wow. Did he happen to tell you that when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness? If so, you've got that goin' for you...which is nice.

    Steven Speilberg (galleria): I was standing behind him in line at Abercrube & Fitch. Didn't even recognize him until the guy behind the counter read his credit card and said, "Wow, you're Steven Speilberg." And then got his autograph.

    Cuttino Mobley (Sams Boat)

    Bob Sura (Joia): Ran into him the other Thursday after he went off for his career high 35 points.

    Jose Lima (Sams Boat): Shook his hand and he was very cool about people approaching him.

    Matt Maloney (every where in the Village area): I've seen this guy about 5 times in the last several years partying in the village. It's really annoying.
