GEH = George Eastman House (a former job)
An exchange student from high school that I still keep in touch with who is from Iceland was sitting in the same coffee shop as Bjork. She was also able to carry on a conversation with her like any everyday person. (Iceland is small, though, so I'm sure many Icelanders have been able to see her in public.)
