I was sitting in the hotel lobby waiting (3-1/2 hours!!) for my room to be ready. The lobby if filled with band and production people from the concert event, Maquinaria, last night. One guy is sitting off in the corner by himself and is talking on a cell phone. He starts talking about how some people ran up to him and "Beth" and "Daron" at the airport screaming "Josh, Josh" He informed the person on the other end of the phone that some one had a video camera and it was on YouTube now. He went on to explain how he is big in Brazil.
Bored, with nothing to do but wait (did I mention the 3-1/2 hours?) I decided to Google this Josh and his friends. "Josh, Amy, Sao Paulo, November" Definitely turned up the video, but still didn't know who he was. Now with this video thing I really wanted to know. Turns out he is Josh Hartzlet, songwriter, therapist, and most famsously, the husband to Amy Lee, lead singer (and lone oringal band member) of Evanescence. The good news is that my room became available soon after that. The bad news is I never saw Amy Lee! Drat!
Gotta admit though, this Internet thing has some power and instantness (that a word?). Sitting in a hotel lobby overhearing a guy on the phone talking about fans capturing cell phone video of him arriving at the airport the previous day, Googling him and then seeing nthe video - all while he is still on the call 10 feet away from me. And now I am posting on my blog for my friends. Waaay cool. Just wish it would have been a more relevant celebrity! No disrespect to Josh, of course!! ;)
In casre you are interested, here is the video of Josh and his two friends (whoever they are) arrving at the airport in Sao Paulo.
