Ever have a Run-in with a Celeb

done some fire effects for oscar delayhoya, kobe bryant, bill richardson and a few others. All where down to earth people that just want to live their lives in peace.

Sorry - Been away for as few days.

Kurt was a just a cool older guy. We talked about writing and how tough it can be and how similar it was to writing music and the fact that I was an indie musician trying to make it on my own terms. His big advice to me on record companies and fame and the like was "Fuck 'em. Do it yourself and do it FOR yourself." Something which I've taken to heart.

Just a cool, older lightly-soused guy. You'd probably get the same effect from talking to that older "artist uncle" who's kinda the black sheep of the family.

Unless he tries to touch you.

i saw Rick Rossovich waiting for the train last weekend.....IN STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN!


Rick on the right from the movie Roxanne. duh!

i helped Ewan McGregor buy tight black pants one day last fall. I also helped two guys from Celtic Frost buy tight black pants. tight black pants, yep.

i have a whole list of people i've seen/met at my old job. i miss it for the celebrities.

I road in an elevator with Lex Luger.

My friend once drunkenly tried to get a piggyback ride from Kyle MacLachlan at Sundance.

this is a lame attempt at namedroppery i suppose, but it's the best i can do

so my friend ayn went to the florida state theater program with a guy named ryland blackington back in 2002. they both wound up in new york city. while she was waiting tables and plugging away at whatever menial arts work she could find, he became the guitarist for a band called cobra starship

apparently they're very popular with children. they were the band that had a music video playing over the end credits of 'snakes on a plane'

anyway they were in town last week opening for cartel. ayn was also here on a week long vacation, so we got comped into the show and then when they were finished with their set, we hung out with them on their tour bus all night, smoking pot and bullshitting. they're actually all really nice guys

Met the doctor from "Deep Space Nine." Sweet and much better looking in person.

My mom has the weirdest one, though. She went to high school with Ted Bundy.

David Faustino rulez

I've had snake wrangler and Animal Planet regular, Jules Sylvester


and Pro Wrestler The Big Show

both stay at the hotel I work at.

When I was 18 I met Craig T. Nelson at Laguna Seca, he is fucking tall!

Wasnt he also in Top Gun. Slider right?

David Faustino is a serial killer now? Dude, that's fucked up.

My brushes with fame:
Rented movies to Spike Lee, Richard Hell, Thurston Moore and at least two of the Beastie Boys.
Sold comics books to: Susan Sarandon, Woody Allen, and creepiest of all, Michael Jackson.
I also flirted very badly with the director of the Aeon Flux movie at a Jawbreaker show, if that counts as fame.

Within the last 2 weeks:
-Neil Patrick Harris
-Jeff Ross
-Rider Strong
-Jimmy Kimmel

Johnny Marr. Surprisingly nice, and even held a conversation about autopsies with me while he opened my beer. Will invite him to dinner when they come to town, even though it means I would have to concoct a vegan meal. The rest of Modest Mouse sat on a couch, too cool for everything...

When I lived in London my flat was just off Highbury Corner in Islington, a nice 15 minute walk to Arsenal's (now old) Highbury stadium. My flat-mate and I were going down to the pub for a couple before the game and bumped into Colin Firth.



He then proceeds to say "Alright Will?" to my flatmate..and I sit there stunned as Will (my flatmate) then tells me about the time he flew out to London for Euro 96 and ended up being an extra in the original "Fever Pitch" film. Will and Colin hung out a bit on set and remembered one another.

Anyhow, it turns out we're all going to the match that day so...we ended up going to the match together and having a pint after. Nice guy!

No celeb-sighting, I just love this sentence to bits.

I'd love to hear the context for this.

Ted (Alex Winter) from Bill and Ted's excellent adventure is a friend of mine.

I once met Paul Rubens (PeeWee Herman) at a bar. That was weird.

Andy Milonakis is a good friend of mine.

I've said hello to Pauly Shore

I've had email conversations with Amanda Palmer

When I was little I saw Wesley Snipes at a private airport, I tried to say hi but he ignored me. I haven't liked him since.

I think thats all.

Brett Easton Ellis tried to pick me up at a club once. We talked for a long time - he was really nice. He even gave me his phone number. My roommate and I drunkenly called him up a few weeks later.

I went to a party at Wesley Snipes' house. I met a cute girl there who wanted to give me her phone number and I asked Wesley Snipes if he had a pen and he said he didn't have one (in the whole house?!?!)

David Spade used to come into a video store I worked at in New York. I clearly remember him renting Caligula.
