What did Omaha resident Tom White do he when he ran into Beatle Paul McCarney and billionaire CEO Warren Buffett chatting on a city bench?
He did what any teen would do, he took a selfie.
On Sunday night, White, known by his Twitter handle as @WHITE_estkid, posted a photo himself standing in front of the two icons as they chatted casually on a bench behind him. White is shown grinning from ear to ear. The caption reads, "Chillin with my homies."
According to omaha.com, Sir Paul and Buffet had dinner Avoli Osteria, an Italian restaurant in the Dundee neighborhood of Omaha, then headed to eCreamery, a local ice cream shop.
With knowledge of his location, White and pals headed to the area to see the Beatle close up. "The security guard had to tell me to calm down," said White, explaining that he and his friends are big fans of McCartney in particular. "He said, 'You can't go any closer, but you can take pictures.'"
The men took the photos in stride and also posed for another with Katy White, 24, a Nebraska native who said she received a kiss from Sir Paul and a hug from Buffett. She said, "I still can't believe it happened!"
Co-owner Becky App was thrilled to have the former Beatle in her shop. "Warren comes in here quite a bit, but he's never brought Sir Paul as a guest before, so it was pretty exciting," App said.
Local radio jock Tom Becka, 58, also got a shot of McCartney, but his is blurry at best. He laments not taking action in the way White did. "It kills me that I didn't think of that," Becka said. "Different generation: The selfie didn't occur to me."
According to McCartney's website,he played in Lincoln, Nebraska on Monday.
