Absolute true Nick Cage experience. I swear on my mothers grave that this is a true story.
In the late summer of 2002 I was in New Orleans. It had been a busy day, and rather than head back to my hotel, I decided to go hear some good ol' NOLA jazz, so I first went to Preservation Hall. After I got my groove on there, I decided to head on over to Fritzels on Bourbon so I could hear some more great music, while I also wet my whistle. Since I was alone, I was pointed toward the bar. What tables there are were reserved for couples or groups. I ordered a jack and coke and sat back for some thumpin jazz. The band that night did not dissapoint. The place was packed, and the music was jammin' and loud. I was in heaven. After about my fourth jack and coke, I was feeling REALLY good, and I started to glance around the room. My eye stopped on an incredibly gorgeous woman who looked very, very familiar to me. Now, I have been around. I have shared some of my exploits on here in the past; and many times I will run into someone I actually know. Sometimes I get recognized by a reader while I'm out, but usually not---but this time was different. She and I locked eyes for a moment, and I offered a quick smile before looking away. Man, she was gorgeous though and looked sooooo familiar.This wasnt my first rodeo damnit! I knew her from somewhere... but where? I waited a good thrity seconds before trying to steal another glance. Who was she damnit?...Who was she? She caught me looking and this time SHE smiled. Oh shit Tempus! She smiled! Okaaaay. A few minutes later, I looked over again, and this time I smiled and gave a cheesy assed wave with my fingers. She giggled and waved back! Holy Hell! We were flirting now! She was sitting with a large group of people who had put a bunch of tables together. There was another woman sitting next to her, but I couldnt see everyone in her group, but of the people I COULD see I didnt see any guy sitting next to her. Okay...
A few minutes later she and the woman next to her got up and walked past me on the way to the rest room. She smiled and offered a very friendly "Hi", as they went past me. On their return I stopped her and the following exchange took place.
Tempus: "I know this is gonna sound sooo bad, but you look really familiar to me. Where do I know you from?"
Hottie: (smiling) "Oh...that sounds like such a line!"
Tempus: "I know right? But I swear, it's true. Would you by any chance be from DC?"
Hottie: "I've been to DC, but not for a really long time. But I'll bet you ask all the girls that."
Tempus: "Only the pretty ones who aren't with some big guy who might beat me up."
Hottie: "Nope, no big guy here. I'm actually with my daughter and her new husband."
Tempus: "Really? I don't believe that if you do have a daughter that she's old enough to have a husband."
Hottie: "Well she does...they're sitting right over there..." (and she pointed).
I followed her point and zeroed right in on Nicholas Cage, and Lisa Marie Presley.
As soon as I saw them, they both waved at us.
Tempus: "Y-Y-You're P-Priscilla Presley?
?"
Priscilla Presley: (Sticks out her hand and laughs) "I am. Whats your name?"
Tempus: "TempusVox"
Priscilla Presley: "It's nice to meet you TempusVox."
Tempus: (I took her hand and kissed it) "I told you that you looked familiar."
Priscilla: (Laughing) "You did."
About two minutes later the entire group left and she blew me a kiss and a smile. Nick Cage walked past me and shook my hand and said "Hey man!" in his best Nick Cage voice. It was fucking surreal. The guy next to me at the bar after they left was like "Goddamn man! You just fucking flirted with Elvis' old lady!"
I did!
Oh and his bio says he's 6 foot tall. Maybe with some damn big heels on his shoes. More like 5'08'' or 5'09" MAYBE. He's damn near Prince short.
