I would love to break into his apartment and see how he has alphatized his own CDs into his collection. Under Costello? Under McManus? Under Elvis?

Yours truly,

Tell him he has made me cry several times with his song and video Veronica. My mother is named Veronica. Periodically driving along and suddenly having images of you mom being senile are not nice. Not nice. Although everything else is great.

wow. this is stunning. i would kill to be in your shoes, julie!

my friend had heard that he lived not too far away from Dempsey's b/c some dude came in who was friends with Elvis and let slip that parcel of info. We didn't know if it was true or not.

see, i would love to be you just on the off-chance that i could hear a new song of his. before anyone else had heard it.

or say a duet between them? you know they are going to write songs together, if you live in a apt how can you not? it's too small to keep doing solo stuff all the time.

maybe he composes while doing laundry?

(sidenote: i always wonder with someone like him who goes by pseudonym, what does his wife call him? elvis? declan? maybe she middle names him up? patrick? or some heretofore unthought of nickname like deco or sugarbum?)

This is almost like having Jesus in your building. If Jesus could carry a tune that is.

I would be jealous, but if I saw him I would probably implode or make a fool of myself in some other way, so I'm glad to save myself the embarrassment.

I thought I saw him on the subway a few weeks ago. I was trying to keep up in a conversation, but I kept getting distracted. I was like, "That really looks like Elvis Costello. Am I staring? I don't mean to stare. It looks like him. I bet it is." But then I was like, "No."
He had neat gold sneakers. (The color, not the precious metal. Although, maybe.)

The blind accordionist and the blind violinist from the N train live in my building.

Tell everyone who lives in YOUR building, Leigh!

I mean, please, tell everyone who lives in your building, Leigh.

No offense to those who do live in my building, but they are not nearly as cool as Elvis Costello, but nice people to be sure.

However, if you are into early-mid 90s indie films, then it may interest you to know that Kevin Corrigan (Living In Oblivion, The Bandwagon, Walking and Talking, among many) lives upstairs from me with his wife, Elizabeth Berridge, who played Constanze Weber in the film Amadeus. Or it may not.

For the record, he always looks nervously at the floor and nods 'hello' when we pass in the hall; she makes eye contact, smiles, verbalizes 'hello' and pets my step-dog.

Actually, the resident listing in the mailroom says "Jeff Bezos", since that's who they bought their apartment from. Two floors - 3500sq ft. My place could probably fit in their master bath.

Still no sightings from me as of yet. I just have the subtle thrill fantasizing that the mice that frequent my apartment may also hang out at Elvis and Diane's place.

Jeff Bezos? Jeff "Amazon.com" Bezos lived in your building! That's a dot-com dream come true!

If only Bezos recorded "Get Happy!"

Have you created their Sims apartment yet?

So then when the one time they actually do visit, it's bound to be up on the screen and they can say, well, now that's creeeeeepy!
