We've heard of many Vince sightings/encounters during the Wild West Comedy Show screenings this month and I don't usually post them here. This one was pretty cute, though. You can read more in the Forum
under Vince Sightings.
Found this one here: Knoxville Weekly Voice Metro Pulse - Ear to the Ground
Thursday afternoon, downtown was abuzz about some tall dark-haired guy from Chicago. He was at the marina, he was at Neyland Stadium, lots of people saw him. He had supper at the Downtown Grill and Brewery. He was staying at posh Cook Loft on Gay Street.
But it’s been so long since downtowners have been to the movies, many who might have missed Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, and The Break-Up didn’t have any idea who he was. Some were, in fact, bold enough to ask: “Who’s Vince Vaughn?” Bistro proprietor Martha Boggs reports an extraordinarily tall fellow came in, asking for a cup of coffee, an unusual request at the venerable restaurant/bar. “I just have regular coffee, not the fancy kind,” she said. “That’s what I want,” the tall stranger replied. She was told the guy was a movie star. Boggs, whose establishment has recently entertained elusive Pulitzer honoree Cormac McCarthy, did not faint. Boggs was more impressed to learn that one of the men with Vaughn was Peter Billingsley, the producer who first rose to prominence as Ralphie in The Christmas Story.
Vaughn and Billingsley were in town for a low-key screening of Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show, a bawdy, but good-hearted documentary about a cross-country tour by some traveling comics Vaughn is fond of. It played to a packed house of lucky pass-holders at the Riviera’s biggest screening room, among them UT footballers including quarterback Erik Ainge, maybe the only guy in the room who was close to Vaughn in height.
