Portlandia in my building

On our way out to take a walk after dinner Friday night, I saw a guy coming into our apartment building lobby. I did a double take and realized that it was Fred Armisen from "Portlandia". He's also known as the guy who plays Barack Obama on SNL.

Of course, I couldn't think of his name. So all I said was "hey... you live in the building?" He actually said hey back, and added "yeah, I live here... for now." He then proceeded to press the elevator button multiple times.

I had never run into any celebrity on the street before, not to mention in my own apartment building. I was quite happy with that, and turned to Jose and said "could you believe that?" He looked at me and said "who was that?"
