Namedropping

I've hung out with JC Chasez and Joey Fatone. Their music may suck, but they know how to party. Oh, and they pretty much put money in my pocket when they buy clothes at Kulture.

Buy those pink shirts with giant ant screenprints, people! And the naked lady dresses!

Okay, that's pretty dorky that I've partied with about half of nsync. Um... I see Iggy Pop all the time! And I'm not even stalking him! I kind of want to go up to him one day, but I'm scared he might yell/make fun of me, and I will never be able to listen to any of his music without crying.

Chase Masterson - (she said that Krys and I are not allowed to break up because we are so cute together...)

Jerri Ryan - 7 of 9 is #1!

Mike Clark and Rocky George, of Suicidal Tendencies.

Garret Wong - Who had a GREAT time at a nudie bar...

Peter Jurassic - Viva Emporer Londo!

Ceasar Romero - Used to drop of his film to be developed at the K-mart I worked at when I was 16. Bought plants from our garden center.

The Dixie Chicks = I had never heard of them but when their tour bus passed my truck I blew my air horn for them. Later at a truck stop when I was refueling a guy came up and asked me if I blew my air horn for the girls in the bus and I was like "Yeah, what do you care?" and he said "That's the Dixie Chicks and they would like to know if they can look at your truck!" I said "Sure! Uhm, who are they?"

There have been others, but jeez do you think I go to enough Sci Fi conventions?

I used to think I never ran into any famous people. After reading all of these, now I KNOW I never run into any famous people...

I'm most impressed by the sighting of George Zimmer from The Men's Wearhouse. You're going to like the way you look; he guarantees it.

yeah, george zimmer donated 250,000 to the campaign for medical marijuana and went public with his support of the initiative, i kinda thuoght that was cool.. he put up for something he believed in that had the intention of helping people and it worked, i'm not sayin' he's god or anything, it seemed like it would be nice to have something go that way in your life, have something that you believe in that helps people and is under an unreasonable amount of attack be relieved and be a part of the relief of that cause...that's all

Oh! I helped out Tony "The Tiger" Lopez when I was a box boy at Toys R Us. He had a gorgeous blond with him at the time. Eddie Murphy and a lot of Kings players used to come through that store, but I never saw any of them.

ross from friends came into the store i work at. he wanted change for a five... i told him he had to wait in line. and he gave me a "ross-look" like.. 'do u know who i am??' i thouht it was fun.. but then my co-worker asked him for his autograph. *sigh*

i saw rev. jesse jackson in italy. i have no good things to say about him... so i am going to shut the fuck up. (i learned that from bambi)

*thinking*

I used to work at a coffee shop where Tom Waits goes to or went to a lot. I waited on him once and didn't realize it until one of my co-workers was like "oh shit that was tom waits" ....

I hardly watch tv, unless I'm at home. Over the summer I was up late one night watching MTV, that thing on the sorority at UCDavis. There was one girl, who looked (i'm not trying to be mean) a little older than the others with blonde hair and a little drugged out. Anywho, I went to work in the morning and waited on her.

Joe Montana lives in the outskirts of my town and his daughters went to my high school.

Did any of you see Scream? The first one? Yah, that park with the water fountain, tha'ts DOWNTOWN in my hometown, and you see those kids skating by right before they go to the foutain? Those are people I used to skate with. Dammit! They used my town and the surrounding area to shoot that damn film. DAMN THEM!

Tony Moorman.... he's my ex boyfriend. I guess he is or was a pro rollerblader... I can't think of his street nickname.

I've met various California officials/senators... ask me and I'll tell you.

All of Big Bad Voodoo Danny and Lee Press on and the Nails and various other bands. My friend though... she's crazy. She's partied with everyone... from Papa Roach to...Sevendust.

I know a bazillion and one persons who own wineries but that doesn't count unless you're a yuppie.

An ASSLOAD of my friends went to Cincinnati Country Day, where they filmed part of Traffic (when the dad goes into the school to bitch out the kids).

I've met Johnathan Kozol (Savage Inequalities) and a bunch of other famous authors. Some also teach at my school. If you are into Economics, I'm sure you've heard of Tetteh Kofi. I that man...

Andy Garcia almost our car when we were in LA and that same kid who was driving now lives in Kirsten Dundst's old house and is friends with her.

And my favorite one was a few years ago when I was doing a lot of skate park stuff, I met Chris Pontius' mom at a random skate park in atascadero. This was prior to Jackass.

ANd if any of you know who Zach Wormhaudt is, I'll be surprised. Anywho, he is awesome. he's one of the best surfers EVER (hehe) and he's a world famous skatepark architecht as well as the son of the Jim Wormhaudt, the first man to design a skatepark in '76 (?), Derby Park in Santa Cruz.

George Bush Sr...

When I worked security at the Mohegan Sun Casino, I did "crowd control" for Jay-Z, Micheal Jordan (He has 2 restaurants in the casino), Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Vinnie Pazienza and his Penthouse Pet/Boxer wife. I personally escorted Jennifer Love Hewitt and her Mom, Jimmy Fallon, John Bellushi, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos. I stood in a room with nearly all of the above and laughed at Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone. Looked at Carol Alt's cleavage. Had a quick conversation about the local "scene" with Joe Perry before he introduced me to Steven Tyler. Watched John Cusak and Neve Campbel eat breakfast. Told Lillo Brancato where to get cigarettes. Gave Mark Henry a highfive. Directed Sherman Helmsley to the coin redemtion booth (he was playing quarter slots).

I hung out with Frankie, Madonna, and Twiggy on their bus during the A.C. Superstar tour.

Went to a party at my friends house and hung out with the drummer from Vertical Horizon. (He's a big dork... and not just because he was in Vertical Horizon :whatever

Drank PBR's with Rich Gilbert a few times at my favorite divey New London, CT club a few times.

hung out with Glenn Danzig backstage after a show... he was quite the prick, he wanted to be called "The Devil" and addressed as "The Devil." He even signed my sticker "The Devil"... ass...

oh, and when I was 16 I got Tony Iomi's autograph at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC. After that so did a bus load of french foreign exchange students did too... after that littl episode I got stopped by the bouncers and couldnt get my picture taken with him. =(

Hmm.. let's see... spoke to James Darren once, for about a minute and a half... that's the extent of my stories.

(In case you're wondering.. James Darren = 60s singer/beach movie actor.. also costarred in a few TV series...)

i love celebrity sightings-they make my job a bit more interesting. i have served coffee to: trent reznor (his house is actually on my street), some guy from rage against the machine (really super nice guy), rachel wise (from the mummy. she is also really nice), johnny cochran, the woman from grace under fire (the only one i have ever asked for an autograph) and the lead guy from nightcourt. i have had coffee with Frente! before one of there shows (they were nervous). i saw vince vaughn at an erotic arts show that i helped put together. and my neighborhood is in a bunch of movies and rock videos. and my sister dated a guy who was in 2 skinny js for awhile.

hmmmmm he was chillen across the street from my apartment when i moved in and it appaulled my parents that not only did i not know who he was...but i didn't care....

well um... i met James MacDougal, Anthropologist and Documentary Film maker (he's famous to us) and sat next to Kathleen Hanna on the street car.

I have met the president of the united states of america.

Edit: Oh I guess I should explain this. Back when he was part owner of the texas rangers I went to a dinner with someone who was close to the team and I got to eat dinner with them. He came in late from working out and wanted to be the center of attention.

When I was about 10 I met Eddie Fiola, and he taught me how to do some bike tricks. The the next summer I went to stay with my grandma who lives near him and he taught me how to really ride a bike. Its kinda funny, I didn't know he was famous until I saw him at a Gale Web stunt show and they introduced him as the world freestyle bmx champion.

Egil

yea... i went there when i was home for winter break-- it's about 45 minutes from my hometown. It's a cute little store... kevin smith movies are fun to watch because everyone enjoys them but I always catch the Jersey humor.

That's pretty funny. I could have sworn I saw him walking on the street about a month ago here in chicago. He was wearing sunglasses and was on the cell phone... I did a double take and he just kept on walking too... well, then again, maybe I saw chevy chase?

I know the guys from Idlewild,
does that count?

well it if helps they kick ass.
