We were lucky enough to get some No R Lifestyle gear to Boston’s hottest actress while she was in town shooting her independent film “Valediction.” Here’s my buddy and No R Co-Founder’s account of the fortunate meeting (please excuse his attempted dig on me in the opening paragraph):
“The quest to bring the No R Lifestyle brand to national prominence continued 2 weeks ago. While putting a few back at the local watering hole with the work crew, I received a phone call with some interesting information. The excited voice on the other end informed me that they were filming a movie outside his work in Boston tonight and it was starring Eliza Dushku. Thinking that my buddy/co owner was just a huge fan of Bring it On or Wrong Turn, I did not see what this information had to do with me. “She’s originally from Watertown and loves Boston give her a shirt!” My buzz was instantly gone and I quickly turned into No R promotion mode. I excused myself from the cluster of beautiful women around me and raced home. I got home in record time to my buddy waiting for me in his car ready to put our plan in motion.
As we got to the set, with No R shirts in hand, we wanted to confirm that this was an Eliza Dushku flick. I asked the cop on detail what was going on here and he quipped “it’s a truck backing up.” (He was directing one of the trailers backing up.) I gave him a fake chuckle and left the guy who probably got picked on in high school so he became a cop to get back at all the bullies behind. After a few minutes of searching we got confirmation from a union truck driver, who had a hoop nose ring, that this was her movie. He then proceeded to tell us what he would like to do with Eliza and we quickly realized this was our time to leave.
After a half hour of searching, (mostly standing around hoping she would walk right into us), we decided it wasn’t meant to be and started to leave. On the walk back to the car we were passing several trailers. As we got to the last trailer in the doorway was a former Celtic by the name of Rick Fox. I remembered that Rick Fox was doing to Eliza exactly what the truck driver wanted to do to her and figured she had to be close. When we got by the trailer I looked back and could see that she was in the same trailer with him. We quickly circled the block to complete our assignment. We turned the corner and saw her trailer and three security staff blocking our opening. With Jason Bourne like moves I found myself only a few trailers away still unsuspected. I continued my way weaving in and out of trailers as if I was Calvin Borel. Finally I see the three security guards with there back to the trailer. I make my move. I get to the doorway and I see Eliza (she’s even hotter in person) and Rick. I tell her my No R Lifestyle story, very quickly knowing that security will notice any second, and hand her two shirts. She held it up and replied “Thanks. Cool idea, I like it.” I made some joke to Rick Fox that we didn’t have them in triple XL, who unlike myself with the cop, genuinely laughed. I thanked them and they said no problem as security apologized to her and escorted me out.”
It was really nice to see celebrities so chill with my buddy approaching their trailer like that. Whether it was because she was back in her hometown, or if she is always so receptive to fans, it was cool to see first hand what a genuine person Eliza Dushku is. Here’s to hoping that her movie comes out great and gets nominated for some Independent Film awards, and also that she is seen sporting the No R Lifestyle apparel!
