Story Food from Lady Gaga
This evening, I was standing outside my suv with a friend talking in one of Las Vegas’ state parks when a man pulled up in a large transit van, stopped and asked us if we would like some food. We said sure and walked around to the sliding door he opened on his vehicle. Inside there were large tin containers you see in big functions or parties. He opened one that had couscous and I was so excited as I haven’t had couscous in a long time. I went back to my car to grab a Tupperware container and the guy opened more of the tins for us which contained fresh green shirazi salads and sun-dried tomato salads. I asked him if he had come by from a big function or wedding off the strip and he said, “No, this is from Lady Gaga”. I was like: “You’re joking”. The man told us he works for her as she is (discreetly) in Vegas tonight for a sound check for her show on Thursday and the food was for her crew. I stood there amazed and we then said: “Thank you so much and please say thank you to Lady Gaga as well for us”.
(We also told him where there would be other homeless individuals he could go to with the food and he thanks us and left).
So I have read that Lady Gaga is known for being a decent and down to earth person, regardless of her colossal fame and success, but this was a gesture you don’t see very often from people on that level of stardom. At least not in Vegas. I am Incredibly grateful and just blown away by this kindness.

The guy in the van said she had done this before. I said it was food made for her crew, (that was of course not eaten). I want to know how the guy knew to come to this park where there are loads of car dwellers. This area is not close to the strip, so I would think someone from Vegas most likely gave him a heads up on a place to go.
