I am not a celebrity hound, but this was pretty cool.

My friend, Patrick Kelley, and his wife, Katie, are in town and I was playing tour guide and and showing them around a bit on the strip. March Madness is going on so the sportsbooks are packed. Patrick wanted to make some bets for tomorrows games so we went in the Wynn sportsbook. I explained to him what all the numbers meant and how to makes the best that he wanted to make. There was a long line and Patrick and Katie went first to make their bets and then they waiting for me while I made mine. Once I was finished up I turned around to walk out with them and Katie nervously started whispering to me telling me to look over her shoulder. Much to my surprise was one of my childhood....heck one of my heros, Bobby Knight! Patrick went and shook his hand and we were about to leave until him and Billy Packer (an announcer for CBS basketball that I really detest) grabbed microphones and had a question and answer period for about 45 minutes. Some people got up from their front row seats just as they started talking so we ended up with great seats for what was a pretty cool impromptu Q & A with Bobby and Billy.

Here is a picture that turned out really crappy with my phone:
