Star spotting

People go all lengths to be at particular places to try to 'bump' into celebrities. Today it seems I didn't even have to try to be surrounded by them. I have arrived in Melbourne for a business trip for the next two weeks and staying at the Crown Promenade.

As I got off the taxi I hear screams in the near distance and noticed I was surrounded by flash limousines. About five A-list looking people stepped out of the hotel looking like a million dollars. Of course - I got curious.

"What's going on?" I grabbed the nearest concierge and asked.
"Oh - the Logis." He said, rather matter of factly.

Wow. I took a good look around... yes I do recognise some of the faces walking out red carpet style and turning around I found where all the screamings were coming from. The casino, just across from the main entrance to the hotel.

Wait - is that Katie Ritchie?

I have nothing against tv personalities, but I am no fan of such events either. To me, they are just human beings doing their jobs, just like I do mine. However it is a thrill to know that I am staying in the same hotel as those with great media attention. It feels rather good.

Oh god, I hope the after party doesn't get too loud. I gotta start work early tomorrow morning!
