Well, you could call it that. Christen Nelson's blog entry about her chance encounter with filmmaker Quentin Tarantino at a shopping mall in Los Angeles. Ms. Nelson is an actor and former member of the infamous Groundlings Theatre, and was recently cast for a new Rob Reiner television pilot.
"That's a dynamite purse. Where'd you get it?" As I turned to respond to the question and the little bells in my head went off alerting me to the fact that the voice I heard sounded just like Quentin… oh my God I would recognize that big bell pepper of a head anywhere… Tarantino!My pink vinyl purse with two black cats joined at the tail often generates conversation, had I known that the man who brought me Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction would engage me in conversation I would have paid 10 times the price. So I said,"ohIgotitinCanadafouryearsagoitssupersturdyanditholdseverythingbecauseit'sjustonebigcompartmentIloveit. I don't mean to be a gay jackass but… you're Quentin Tarantino AND YOU ARE THE BALLS!" Seriously that is what I said.

Christen Nelson's story [about a chance shopping encounter with famed film director Quentin Tarantino] was wicked cool and being that I am a detail-obsessed freak I went over to Crate and Barrel to see the registry. Sure enough, it exists!
And sure enough there were 16 Espresso Peppermills requested. However, none of them have been fulfilled. So that leads a kind of question to Christen's wonderful closer about the 4 mills from Dennis. I hate to peek behind the curtain and go 'Boo!,' but…
