This is pretty weird, I can confirm that the house that burned down was where Evangeline Lilly used to live. Before I was a full time student, I used to do some driving for Carey Limousine here on Oahu. Last Christmas I had an early morning pickup going to the airport listed under the alias ‘Annie Hall’. It was on Iana street. It was strange because I had bought a surfboard at a garage sale at the same house about a year earlier when the previous residents were moving out. Anyway, ‘Annie Hall’ wasn’t there but her gorgeous roommates handed me a big dish filled with raw fish and gave me a different address that I was to pick her up at. That turned out to be Dominic Monaghan’s house (which incidentally is right down the street from Mink Hippie and my little bungalow). So anyway, I arrived at Dominic’s carrying a platter of raw fish and wearing a pin stripe suit at 7am and knocked on the door. I hadn’t really watched Lost much yet and when she opened the door, I thought she was actually my boss’s girlfriend (they look alike) and started joking around with her. In any event, it was Evangeline Lilly and we had a nice conversation over the next 40 minutes as we went to the airport. She even recommended a book that I enjoyed immensley (Griffin & Sabine: An Extraordinary Correspondence) Anyway…I’m terribly sorry that her house burned down. She is a very cool chick. Another odd thing about this is that I decided to climb up a hill near our house this morning and watch the sunrise…as I was climbing I looked down and saw a house burning on the other side….it didn’t even occur to me that it was Evangeline’s. Total bummer. I hope her and her roommate are both alright and that they haven’t lost anything irreplacable.
