That's just fucking awesome, Jim Varney is the man.

I met Dicky Barrett of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones at Warped Tour 97 [Asbury Park, NJ]. My brother used to tell me stories of when the Bosstones were still underground [my brother went to Boston U for a year] -- Dicky used to hit on my brother's friend.

Salman Agah [pro skater], Warped Tour 97. Same with Andy MacDonald.

When Less Than Jake came through Jersey [before they hit the "bigtime"], I got to talk to them after a set. Really fucking . Same with Lifetime [legendary hardcore] -- my brother once auditioned to be their bassist

If any of you know who Midtown is, I met them when they were starting up ^_^ I lived near New Brunswick, NJ.

If it counts for anything, my girlfriend's met a couple of suicide girls [pic -- girlfriend is in the middle] at the Warped Tour and the vocalist from Rufio asked her to the movies

Yeah most celebs are pricks. I wanted to meet Steven Van Zandt (related to the lead singer of lynyrd skynyrd I believe) his band was playing near my hometown and my dad said don't meet him...he'll just shove you off. I wish I could of met some celebs that some of my dads friend did, like when ozzy was looking for a new guitarist this my dad knew was the 2nd choice...ozzy flew him out to england for the final auditions....damn that would rule.

I had a *really* bizarre dream last night that I was on a coach with Bill Gates. I guess I'm spending too long in front of the computer...

In real life - I've got a signed book from Terry Pratchett - I went to a talk he and Jack Cohen gave and he was signing books afterwards.

I've also looked after the children of Cheryl Baker when I was working in the kids play area of a pub near her house. They were remarkably well behaved too!

This past June, my wife and I won a trip down to the Dale Earnhardt Tribute Concert. We got to meet with Brooks & Dunn, met Michael Waltrip and Hootie and the Blowfish at the welcoming party on Friday and got to talk with Jeff Green and Dale Earnhardt Jr. It was a pretty cool weekend.

i set up stages for concerts in so. cal so i see many celebs. mostly rockstars and what not.

michelle kwan - ice skater
tom dumont - guitar for band no doubt
adrian young - drums for band no doubt
walked alongside gwen stefani - vocalist for band no doubt (found out she shaved a certain part of her body once)
billy joe - vocalist for band green day
mike - bass for band green day
brandon, mike, jose, and kris - vocals, guitar, drums and dj for band incubus
pink - pink
brittany spears
shakira
tony hawk - pro skater

can't remember anymore right now

but for the majority of them, they were really nice. billy joe signed a drum stick and so did mike of green day, but he was a total ass about it. the guys from incubus told us to wait somewhere cuz they had to make a phone call, then to my surprise, they were waiting for us at the said spot to sign stuff for us.

I got to tour David Byrne around my place of employment at Intecom In Allen, Texas several years ago when I was an illustrator there drawing semicinductor training diagrams (yep, can you say Orthographics?) and David was scouting a place to shoot his movie "Wild Life"/Movie/ Video. He was incredibly sweet and polite and so tall. A really nice man who deserves all his success. Lucky me! Oh and I stood next to Jerry Garcia in a flower shop one day when he was buying pink roses for his girlfriend who lived in Tiburon. He drove the nicest, hottest red Ferrari I've ever seen. Wore the oldest most faded jeans I've ever seen, too. (Natch!) *grin* He seemed really happy. This was only 2 years before he left this planet. Another sweetie. God Bless Jerry!

Some stars deserve the love.

I came face to face with the man, the legend, Bob Saget!! In some LA supermarket...was akward and since he is like 6'4" he towered over me. Many sports stars also.

In other news though my grandmother of all people owned a store where she met plenty of celebrites. ONe funny story though is that she was actually I guess "popular" back in the "day" and has had famous people such as Bob Dole over to eat at her house...crazy!!

Nicolas Cage filmed part of his movie 'Sonny' (his directing debut) in front of my office. One of the few people I've ever seen wear all black leather in Louisiana during the Summer. Got to meet him and two of the actors Mena Suvari (American Pie/Beauty/Virgin) and Scott Caan (Varsity Blues).

Met Justin Wilson (Cajun Chef/Storyteller) at a restaurant a few times. Great guy to talk to.

Know anyone famous?

Does anyone here know anyone, as a good friend, who's famous?

I guess it all depends on when you believe a person is famous or not, but I leave that to you.

The most famous person I know, is probably Oscar Wakeman, who isn't actually that famous... but his dad is Rick Wakeman, and im pretty much best mates with Oscar. I was out with him last night having a smoke and he was wearing his dad's US tour jacket (signed). How much do you reckon he could get for that?

He's a safe guy.

I don't know who Rick Wakeman is either, and I also don't know anyone famous. However I have taken classes from professors who's research has been featured on national television and from published authors. It's really not fun taking a class when your teacher is the author of the book. They expect you to know it as well as they do.

No prog rockers here eh? Rick Wakeman played and still does play with the band YES. One of the most kick ass keyboardists in rock history...second only to Keith Emerson...of Emerson, Lake and Palmer...of course that is up for debate.

I know some people in the music industry..that are mildly famous at this point...the names you wouldn't recognize, because they are not publicized too much.

Hey bollocks...ask your buddy Oscar how much he wants foe the jacket, maybe we can work something out!!

The gym I work out in is also the Official Gym of the New Zealand All Blacks™ (the All Blacks are the New Zealand rugby team, in short our entire economy hangs on how well they do in tonight's match) and there are several of them there usually before a game in Wellington. A lot of guys who play for the Wellington Super12 and NPC rugby teams also workout there, even some ex-All Blacks can be spotted there, I've seen Christian Cullen and Jonah Lomu there, just to name a few.
