Party City and James Gandolfini
Let's go see if this really is a Party City inside.
I have to admit, it's pretty festive in here!
Is it me, or does this sound like cat food for your children?
Nothing screams, "Elegance" like plastic hats and tiaras!
The words, "drug mule" just entered my mind for some reason.
Rush, rush, a true Paula Abdul moment.
Celebrity Sighting at Party City!
Okay, so I’m taking goofy photos inside and I look to my left and who’s looking at New Year’s Eve boxes, but actor James Gandolfini. I did a double take and he noticed me and I could see a “here we go” moment coloring his face. I approached and said, “Do you mind if I take your photo?”
He winced and said, “I’d prefer if you didn’t, it’s kind of crowded in here.”
“Okay, that’s why I asked,” I answered back.
“That was really nice of you to ask!” He shot back smiling and extended his hand out.
“My name’s Marty,” I said while shaking his hand.
“I’m Jim,” he said, nodding his head a bit. “Thanks again for your consideration, that’s rarely done in this town.”
“No problem, have a great night and a happy new year,” I replied.
“You too, have a great new year,” he said walking away and disappearing into the aisles.
Oh, if he only could have seen me taking the photo of the Angry 7-Eleven man a couple of hours ago! Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom!

My friend Rachel knows the guy and he is actually super nice.. he was a client at the agency he worked at.
oooh i'm ruining his rep here but ya he is a nice guy..
oops she worked at...fucking non editable post!
@Gidgie: He's a good fella!
That's great, damn, I wish you would have had a shirt to give him.
It would have been a 'niiize' Henry Hill bookend!
Tony Soprano meets Gumby. I love it.
The 'Live' updates ARE the way to go Daddio!
Part of me wishes you told him, "Time to fade to black mother-fucker!"; then taken his photo.
That is fucking awesome ! I'd love to meet him for a minute ! I was watching the Sopranos last night - at the exact time you saw him. Love the show - and him. Great job ! Reminds me when I met Axl Rose in LA once -- I did get an autograph out of it. At least Jim was nicer to you than Eddie Van Halen !
Bravo !
@"Boris:" Ha! That would've been great to post photos of him and Henry! Maybe next time, glad you like the live updates, Daddio!
@csp: I don't think that would've gone over very well!
@GENE: He was really a nice guy and I'm glad I didn't hassle him. He's a big guy and you can't miss him, he must get sick of all the attention.
I would have asked for Dr. Melfi's phone number...bada bing!
I'll break your f'ing face ...
@Terry: Bada boom!
@GENE: Holy shitballs, I'm glad I asked! Great clip!
Puffy Shirt available. MUAHAHA.
@Hollywood Murders: That shirt is making me thirsty!
@csp - hahaha!
You didn't take him to the CHILLMASTER?!
@Goggla: If I run into him again, I'll definitely try to make that happen!
Party supplies: the great equalizer.
