Me and Nicky Sixx (from Motley Crue)
After the NYSSA event on Wednesday I took a flight to Toronto with the intent to spend only a couple of nights in Toronto.
Wednesday night in Toronto I ended up going to a steakhouse called Barristers with a group of people. When we were seated, we were right near a table making a lot of noise and it looked like there was familiar face at that table, but it wasn't until we asked one of the waiters, "who it was?" did a person in my party say together with the waiter that it was Nicky Sixx, the bass player from Motley Crue.
Thursday night I ended up going out to another steak house in Toronto and this time I ended up at one of The Keg restaurants in town and while I was waiting for some of my guests to arrive, who do I see being interviewed in Keg's in-house studio but none other than Nicky Sixx.
Still not sure what the connection was but...
Yesterday morning at the Toronto airport going thru the magazine section I couldn't hope but notice that Nicky Sixx was on the cover of the December/Holiday issue of the Canadian issue of Hustler Magazine...so to remember this trip I bought the issue and ripped off the cover and placed it into my travel bag.
A few minutes later while waiting at the gate for the plane who do I see but Nicky Six once again, this time in person so I had him autograph the magazine cover. Minutes after that, I end up sitting across from him on the flight back to New York.
I'm still not sure what the mystical connection between the two of us may be, but this is another of a long list of interesting coincidences which seem at times to be too much of a coincidence to ignore.
[written - on the AC flight 706 on Dec 5, 2003 - 12:27 pm.]
At about 12:30 pm the pilot of flight 706 announced that we were circling with 36 other planes trying to land in LGA and that the airport had just been closed. We turned around and flew back to Toronto!
Getting off the plane down the walkway, Nicky Sixx sees me and asks me: "Are you stalking me?"
Bizarre! And did I say Blizzard?
During the next hour of trying to reroute / reschedule my return flight I ended up having him in front of me in line two more times.
One question I never did get an answer about was what happened to my frequent flyer miles, given that we literally flew to LGA airspace, then flew back to Toronto and in the process the flight was cancelled. In the Air Canada computer the flight never happened. ;-(
In the process I ended up discovering yet another broadband enabled hotel in downtown Toronto.
Turns out that Toronto's chilly weather is pretty ok given that the metro NYC area is under a "blizzard forecast" at the moment.
Looks like I will be writing the next Pulver Report from Toronto over this weekend.
