Patton Oswalt Sees Tweets, Shows Up at PDX Food Cart

Behold the power of the tweet. Downtown food cart owners Lisa and Brian Wood just witnessed what happens when you combine hashtags, hunger and a little thing called fame.

"We posted on Twitter in the morning that we wanted tickets for comic Patton Oswalt's Saturday show and that we'd trade [our] Big Ass Sandwiches for a pair," says Lisa. "Our [Twitter] followers jumped in, started telling him to eat there. Right before we closed a car pulls up, Patton gets out, asks "who's Lisa?" I say "me" and he offers us tickets."

So what did the silly guy eat? "We offered him a sandwich and...he really wanted one but had a food related meeting so he couldn't eat. We invited him to come tonight after his show and we'd feed him."
