A few months before I started this blog I was lucky enough to have a chance encounter with Usain Bolt. Since he just won the men's 100M race today at the London Olympics I figured I would share my story of meeting the Fastest Man Alive. He showed up unannounced to the Jimmy Kimmel show while I was there waiting for Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane. I had two 8x10s in the car so I went and got them. While I was waiting on Mark and Seth I heard that Usain was going to race Jimmy Kimmel on Hollywood blvd, so I ran up there with my 8x10s. As soon as I got up there I saw they were racing so I took video of it.
When they were finished I showed Usain my photos and with frosting on his hands he came right over and took my sharpie and signed both photos for me.
And when I got home I watched the Jimmy Kimmel show and saw I made the show and can be seen in the background waving my photos and sharpie at Usain after he finished the race.
Pretty cool to be on a national TV show with the Fastest Man Alive.
