Kes and the Stanley Cup

It is the Stanley Cup finals - game 5. I have two guys here from the Calgary office. We went to Trotters (a local sports bar where we had watched the Olympic Gold Medal Hockey game).

There was a big cricket match in town that day (India vs West Indies) at the Queen's Park Oval and Trotters was full of post-match beer drinkers. We got a table in the back and we had 4 of the TV's showing the Boston-Vancouver. All good.

We noticed a couple sitting a few feet away. Mimi recognized the guy immediately.

We mentioned it to our server, who knew who he was as well. She asked if Mimi had a piece of paper that he could sign. We didn't have anything so he came over, introduced himself, signed a strip of paper from the cash register and then sat down with Mimi to chat for a few minutes. The reason Mimi is holding her phone is that her ringtone is Kes' Soca monarch-winning song 'Wotless'.

He is up on Digicel billboards here in Trinidad but he impressed all of us with his graciousness with Mimi that night.

What was even funnier was that she ran into him last week having lunch where they exchanged "Really, I am not stalking you" comments.
