There was an indy movie called "Pi" that should be watched today. It was pretty cool, especially when the "hero" of the story goes nuts and uses a Black and Decker drill to get rid of his migraine headaches.

Not to be confused with the book "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel.

So, there I was in the 80s working at a tiny newspaper in California. A reporter said she had a new boyfriend, but was very coy about who it was.
It turned out that she'd met Don McLean interviewing him at a local show and they'd fallen in instant love.
I believe they are still married.

I don't know if they served pie, or pi at their wedding.
