Jemaine or not Jemaine? That was the question!

It really was Jemaine Clement!! (of Flight of the Conchords)
on Rivington and Allen St. in NYC's LES August 30th.

Two dumb divas stood by evaluating the initially-thought-to-be
"Jemaine poser" trying to decide if he was real or fake. diva 3 loves Bret and diva 4 loves Jemaine - For such strong fans of the show this should have been a slam dunk ID of the suspect, and diva 4 seriously needs to have her eyes checked given her comment that he was just some guy 'pimping out the whole jemaine look.'

Ironically, the Bret girl, was fairly convinced this was Jemaine, pointing
out distinct features, i.e. the space between his teeth, the broad shoulders and
narrow waist, etc. However, the ever skeptical Jemaine girl was not
at all convinced. His height was throwing her off, she thought he was much taller. Not to mention IMDB.com has it listed as 6'1 & 1/2", and this guy seemed no more than 5'10".

After a half an hour of - embarrassed to admit - not so subtle gawking at
Rivington & Allen, neither willing to approach him, Jemaine and crew were
on the move. In true Mel fashion we commenced a stalk/walk
otherwise known as a stwalk where evidence was mounting that it might actually BE him
(a girl on her cell screaming "he looked right at me.", a guy we saw run to
talk to him and then fly a block back in the other direction to catch up with
his friends). This was turning into a true fiasco which could have been so
easily solved with a "hey, are you Jemaine?", "wanna get down to some business?" or "boom me baby!" but NOOOOOO we just stood there like idiots!

Finally after following the alleged Jemaine and friends nearly 30 blocks where they ultimately ducked into the Grassroots Tavern dive bar on St. Marks, where practically 20 people on the sidewalk spilled in with them - two lame divas hopped in a cab continuing to debate was it or wasn't it. After re-viewing several Concords episodes & seeing a gawker.com jemaine sighting post the next day that was clearly during our pursuit of the suspect, we had our answer. (The incompetant inspector Jacques Clouseau from the 70's Pink Panther movies would have done far better at solving this mystery!).

Unfortunately it was business time & we had punched out our time sheets way to soon. Business time was definitely over and we were FIRED!!

Somehow we will move on from this botched would-be encounter
with greatness. It will take lots of ice cream (soy delicious for the vegan diva)
and some therapy, but we'll get through the dark hours and find solace
once again.

Sighning (that's right, sigh-ning) off,
The Shy Siren Diva's
