I saw the Director on the Metro yesterday
May 29, 2009 at 01:32 PM UTC
#
I was riding the Red Line, between Union Station and Metro Center, about 10:45 am. I was headed to my dentist, in need of a major repair.
There he was…dark shades, black t-shirt, gray sweat pants. Earphones in ears and reading a Rolling Stone.
I would have introduced myself, but my dental issues caused me to be in a less than social mood, and he looked like he was quite seriously into the Rolling Stone.

I also saw him at a show at Nissan a week ago, but he was in a rush, so I didn't get to say hi :(

I believe your story, with one exception: The Director would not be wearing sweat pants.

He was wearing sweat pants both times I've seen him. At least that's what I would call them.
True story.

I don't doubt that you believe what you're saying - but facts are facts. The Director would not be wearing sweat pants. I think you're likely mistaken.

I'd venture to guess they were jeans.

Have you been in his closet?
What would you venture to guess he thinks of Chester French?

I don't need to guess what he thinks of Chester French. I met them while standing next to him. I believe he introduced me to them, if memory serves correctly.
As for his closet, I don't need to have been inside of it to know what would and would not be in there.

I have it on good authority that they were parachute pants.

If not sweatpants, they were more likely parachute pants than jeans.

i'm confident thedirector is less than flattered that you associated him, in any way, with that picture.

I just received an email from the Director. He assures me unequivocably that they were parachute pants and that he was proud to be displaying them in public. He was only sad that there wasn't enough room on the train to bust out his inner Hammer.
Either that or he was really pissed, totally insulted by my suggestion that he would be caught dead in parachute pants and now he's not speaking to me. I'll let you be the judge. Only one thing can fix this.
