Austin Celebrity Sighting!



Zach and I saw Matthew McConaughey today while taking our dog through the dog park down at Auditorium Shores. I always knew he was an Austin figure, having been a UT student when he was cast in his first movie: Dazed and Confused. Usually he's sighted at UT football games, flashing the longhorn sign and looking generally laid back.
Today, Zach and I were winding around Town Lake with our Anna dog, working our way to the 1st Street bridge when Anna wandered toward this little girl about toddler age walking barefoot next to two men. As the little girl bounded toward Anna, our exceptionally ferocious dog sidled away and as one of the men looked up I thought *gasp* thats Wooderson and his daughter! I said "Hi" and he said "Hi" and Zach, still not realizing this was Matthew McConaughey said, "She's terrified of children" to which McConaughey chuckled and kept walking. Once I alerted Zach to who he was just talking to, Zach was like "Oh yeahhh.." I was like, "You just made Matthew McConuaghey laugh." And he replied, "I'm a funny guy."
