Kennett Square News Update

I find this interesting. From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Rich Rowe found a wallet along Route 1 near Longwood Gardens on Friday. Fancy, tan Prada job. Opened it up: Credit cards. New York driver's license for Susan Weaver. Gold's Gym membership card in Weaver's stage name, Sigourney.

Ah. Sigourney Weaver's wallet.

"I didn't know what to do," says Rowe, 23, a maintenance mechanic for Phillips Mushroom Farms. "I wanted to get ahold of her somehow."

Rowe says he tried calling credit-card companies but could not reach a live human. He called Gold's Gym, but wasn't too keen on mailing the wallet to persons unknown in New York.

He thought that the actress was in Kennett Square for a reason and that a friend of hers might be listening to Paul Barsky's show on WYSP-FM (94.1). So the word went out, and lo and behold, a friend was listening. Weaver's husband and publicist then got involved.

Rowe brought the wallet to the station on Independence Mall, and Barsky producer Michael Cerio rewarded Rowe with tickets to Friday night's Disturbed concert at the Electric Factory. He also got to meet the band.

Cerio asked for a call-in from Weaver, and she did so yesterday. But the question remained: How did her wallet end up beside the road, 130 miles from home?

Aliens?

Something simpler, she said. She was visiting friends - remember that she was here in '04 to shoot M. Night Shyamalan's The Village - and stopped to shop for boots at Wal-Mart. "I must have put it on top of the car," she said. "I knew it wasn't stolen" because the cards had not been used, adding: "The Christmas spirit lives."

Besides the fact that Sigourney Weaver bought boots at Wal-Mart in Kennett Square (I told you all it was the coolest place we had), that Barsky ass still has a morning show and people listen to it!
