I got the "Dude, that's Tui!". Clearly I didn't know who this was (which is probably why I suck at finding celebrities in public.). "Tui what?"
Apparently I was sitting across the room from Marques Tuiasosopo, the Quarterback from the Oakland Raiders. Apparently he was the #1 Quarterback for the University of Washington Huskies while he went to school there too.
So, now I can say that I've seen a celebrity in public. I have to say, it was "awesome"!.
P.S. I still have not seen Bill Gates close than a baseball player at SafeCo fields. Apparently, he was 5 feet away from me at a conference booth, but I was speaking with a customer, and we were both looking in opposite directions.
