I hang out with minor celebrities!

Now, I know I thought I was all king shit for getting to pipe in Mayor Hazel and Premier McSquinty (and actually being heard on TV tuning up when they interviewed Hazel, as they have to catch her early in he evening before she gets too shitfaced or falls asleep - yeah, she's great… you wonder why people love her??), but in the back of my mind, I was wondering how this job fell to me. I don't ask a lot of questions when I'm getting paid for stuff (yes, this rule applies to my entire life), so I didn't give it much thought, but it did occur to me.

Turns out the reason was a pretty good one… my Pipe Major was playing at the Leafs-Habs game! If you were watching, then you likely saw him at the very beginning. I only got home in time to see the puck actually drop (they hustle "the help" out the door pretty quick at these swanky things….), so I didn't get to see it, but the story has been confirmed several times over, so I'm confident that I'm not totally full of shit.
