I’m sitting at a table with a few friends and a couple sits at the end of the table. I overhear the following.
Dude (to his date): So you know that show Flight of the Conchords, how it’s those two guys, Bret and Jemaine? [he puts his hand over the side of his face so I can’t read his lips] well this guy right here at Three O’Clock for me looks EXACTLY like Jemaine.

Situation: New Herrell’s Barista Jerome walks out from the back room, looks at me and says hi before returning to the back. A few minutes later he comes out with another employee, Justin.
Justin (pointing at me): “You mean this guy? Yeah people say that all the time”
Jerome: “So people have told you that you look like Jemaine I guess.”
I need to start carrying around a pad so I can write down all of the “YLLJ“‘s (as I’ll call them from now on) I had a few on monday at the Ratatat show but I completely forgot them. Also if you know about this blog and you’re just coming up to me in an attempt to get on the blog you will NOT get on it.
This means you, MIKE at Our House West ;)

Deegan (barista): “Hey, ever since you shaved off your beard you’ve been a dead ringer for Jemaine. If your own musical career ever falls apart, you should look into a job as part of a Flight of the Conchords tribute band!”
