Brad Pitt

Here is the story

We were shopping at the Grove, which is a really amazing, well know shopping center in LA, and Philip (Elisabeth's brother) and I were talking about getting a Haegen Daaz hot chocolate, which I never got. But anyways, while we were talking about it Amber (Philip's wife), started going crazy saying "there is Brad Pitt". So she grabbed the stroller and Nathan and took off, and we just did our best to keep up. So Brad turned down towards the parking lot and ducked down a little side track. So we just figured he was gone, as we turn back he is standing there reading a map or something. We figure just trying to lose anyone who might have seen him. As we get around the corner the guy pulls out a honking huge Camera and starts taking pics and calling for "Brad" After a couple shots Brad said "come on guys" By this time he was ahead of me as I stopped to see what was gonna happen. And with all the practice I've had jumping into random pictures over the years I was in the perfect place to make sure I was in most of the remaining pictures. A little "confrontation" ensued, and Brad ended up leaving. I was only about 6 inches behind him at this point and made sure to get a chance to tell him how cute his little girl was, who is from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia where I am working now. We slowed and Brad kept walking.

Amber followed again.

They then followed him into "American Girl" asking if there were any boy stuff for Nathan. We were directed up stairs which just happened to be where Brad was headed. So we went up there. I stayed back and sat on a sofa while the others went in. At one point we could see Brad peaking at us to see who we were and what we were doing. We ended up leaving deciding to give him his space. So we sat by the fountain Philip saw him coming again and as he approached politely said "Mr Pitt, would you mind a picture" He said no thanks, and smiled and kept walking.
