Celebrities on Island
Living on a small island with just 50,000 people can sometimes get a little ... routine, so it's very exciting when a famous person arrives on island. I saw a blurb in the paper two weeks ago that filming for a movie was beginning at Lindquist Beach (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button). Immediately, I searched imdb.com for that movie and scanned the list of credits for names I recognized. I found one! Brad Pitt.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (I call them the "Polies") are apparently staying on St. John right now. No idea if it's just for the filming of the movie, or if it's unrelated. (They didn't contact me.) But I can still reach and make some six degrees of separation connections.... my friend's dad runs a car rental company on St. John, and the other car rental company on St John rented a car to the Polies, BUT they had to get an extra car seat from my friend's dad. Too much of a reach? Well, Dave's kayak company, VI EcoTours does kayak tours on St. John out of Caneel Bay Resort. Over the weekend, Caneel decided that when the Polies wanted to rent a kayak, they should give them an EcoTour kayak instead of the Caneel kayaks, because the EcoTour kayaks are better. So Dave's coworkers had to do their kayak tour on less desireable kayaks. These little tidbits provided me with much entertainment over the last week or two. It's a small island, what can I say? We're bound to run into them sooner or later....
