So does Willie now count as a pre-celebrity?

oooo, good call! Yes, drink under the "pre-celebrity" reason for Hector.
We wrote this pre-Real World Philadelphia, when the biggest pre-celebrity Ghostwriter could claim was Julia Stiles.

I would say, "Oh my gosh, I'd totally forgotten about 'Ghost Writer!'"...but that would be a lie. In actuality, I had such a girl crush on Lenni and desperately wanted a necklace pen. Thanks for, uh, "reminding" me.
