hey Conscious.. and anyone else who cares... I ran into Peter Forsberg, saturday night.
I was coming out of a restaurant in Phila. "Buddkan" restaurant.

Anyway, it was starting to snow and really windy and cold outside. My girlfriend and I were done our dinner and just stalling to leave, standing inside the door looking out the window at the snow. When an inside door opens (there is a small room about 10' by 10' that seperates the restuarant from the outside door) so there is not that much space, and out steps Forsberg and an entourage of about 4-6 guys. He looked right at me, then stepped outside, walking right past me. I was like "oh my god, that was Forsberg" to my girlfriend. It took me a second to realize what had just happened so i didnt get a chance to say anything to him. (my girlfriend wasn't as nearly impressed as I). I opened the outside door and he was quickly shuffled into a taxi. Yes, I was pretty star struck. It's not every day you get to see the best hockey player in the world brush right by you.
Of course, my girlfriend and I got into a fight because this was supposed to be our "date night" and I was making all these cell phone call to my friends to tell them. LOL
It's funny because i was just reading to my g/f before we left that the restaurant is pretty popular with stars and have had the likes of Robert Dinero, Bruce Willis, Robert Redford eat there. (got that info off the web site).
I didn't recognize some of the other guys with Forsberg but I assume they are probably CO Avalanche players? The Flyers played the Avalanche saturday afternoon and lost in overtime.
anyway, sorry for the long post.. but that's my story. I was pretty excited.
