Jay Leno tapes his Tonight Show here in Burbank, CA.  There are times that when you are driving around, you will see him in one of his awesome cars. On the day he broke down; I think, he was driving his Stanley Steamer Car.  On this day that was what he was driving; he had car trouble and stopped in front of my house.  I didn’t know it was him at first, I offered him use of my cell phone, but he didn’t need it because he was already fixing his car, so I just watched him and talked small talk.  He was very very nice guy.  He asked me my name and what did I do for a living.  He fixed his car and off he goes. Waving as he drove away down my street with the Oak Trees…

Thanks Odd Todd!

Dawn from Burbank

I’m from New Jersey, and I have a friend who used to go to the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. So for my 27^th (or was it 28^th ) birthday I went up there to go bar hopping with her, her twin sister Amanda and a bunch of friends. One of the places we went to was Hogs and Heifers, the bar that movie Coyote Ugly was based on. The story with that place is that the bar tenders are all hot women dressed up as cowboys that spit fire. If you are a guy they yell at you with bull horns to take shots and make you look like a pussy if you don’t. If you are a girl they yell at you with bull horns to dance on top of the bar (if it’s not on fire with some kind of alcohol) and take off your bra so it can be added to the collection of hundreds hanging on the ceiling. The one we went to was the south one, which is smaller and more of a hole than the one uptown, from what I hear. I remember walking through some meat packing district sort of area to get to it. So after a while my friend Amanda is up dancing on the bar when this guy comes in with an extremely hot girl. Another friend grabs me and says, “hey that’s Dennis Quaid”, so I look at him and say, nah, he’s too short, but the more I look the more I can see that it’s really him. So Dennis goes to buy a drink and while he’s waiting he’s checking out Amanda as she’s on the bar (she’s pretty hot). Then he starts talking to her. Next thing you know she’s back down hanging out with Dennis and the girl he came in with is on the bar flashing her boobies. (No, it definitely wasn’t Meg Ryan, but WOW!) So my friend introduces us to him and he bought everyone a round of shots. Dennis was flirting with my friend the rest of the time we were there. After a while I’m trying to get a drink, and everyone decided to leave and a friend drags me out. So there’s everyone on the street, including Dennis Quaid. Someone says, “Hey Steve it’s your birthday, where do you want to go now?” and Dennis says “Yeah Steve, where to?” in his Dennis Quaidy voice. So I suggest checking out Bleeker St. We all hop into cabs and go. The next place we were at, I couldn’t get Amanda away from Dennis (good luck, right?). At one point they were making out. When we left he wanted her to come with him and his hot ‘friend’. She was pretty drunk by then and some girls we were with managed to get her into their cab. She exchanged numbers with him though. A few days later she told me he called from some golf course and asked her to come back to the city to see his band “The Sharks” play. She had to work, cause she’s no spoiled rich girl, and he got all pissy and put off like he couldn’t believe she’d pass it up. So that was that. She didn’t seem at all upset though, because in her opinion, he’s way too old for her. I don’t have a picture from that night. I was promised some but have never seen them. But attached is one of Amanda and myself.
