How many celebrities have you met?

[Bick]

I've met IZ. Disappointing really.

Kinda IZ_? 

BP refused to meet me.

You know how these celebrity types are.

[redxblack]

I've met a lot of b-movie stars and directors, hardcore/punk/metal musicians and hockey players. I'm fortunate to have been pretty successful in my hobbies I suppose.

If you treat "celebrities" like normal people, they are cool.

I won't get in to specifics about why I went up to speak with Peyton Manning, but it was more of a "bullshit, he is probably normal"

Let's just say after my time with him, he bought me a beer and we talked a large range of topics ending with if he could run a fantasy football team, which he can't because of NFL rules.

He is a tall guy, I am a short, he was leaning down to me, with his arm around my shoulder.

My buddy who has met him was like "well, if there is one person that could hang with Peyton, it would be Jud"

famous people want to be normal; you treat them that way, you will talk and interact with them as a regular person you don't know.

BP refused to meet me.

It was the warning from Nick that scared me away.

Carlos talks a big game

but

he is about the most mellow member I have ever met.

He is a good person.



better than Zltful and Dicpainter (ducpainter  ), those characters stick you (your company) with the bar tab.

I ran into Kareem Abdul Jabar in an airport in Lubbock Texas.  He was turning people away who asked for autographs ("I'm not doing that right now") and looking like he wished he was shorter and less conspicuous.  It was only my keen sense of decorum and fear of being crushed by a 7'2" human that kept me from approaching him and saying "We have clearance, Clarence.  Roger, Roger."

Met Bill Clinton - dead fish of a handshake, nice enough guy.

It was actually just bad timing on my behalf.

I've met Jon Bon Jovi, Jimmy Hoffa Jr, a few of the Portland Trailblazers (Maurice Lucas, Jerome Kersey, Kevin Duckworth, Larry Steel, Herm Gilliam{he had both a NCAA Championship & NBA Championship ring}), Gen'l Norman Shwartzkoff, Nick Cage, and I was in the bar when Courtney LOve & Kurt Cobain met.

[Triple J]

and I was in the bar when Courtney Cox & Kurt Cobain met.

Ya mean Courtney Love? 

[Vindingo]

I got to meet Tommy Lasorda in highschool.  He came to speak to the school, and I got to hang out with him and show him around.  Turns out he knew my great uncle/cousin or something like that and our picture together ended up on the front page of the Italian Tribune.  He was a nice guy, and I don't think we even talked about baseball.  

I don't know if I would even care to meet a movie star unless it was a hot chick.  I don't watch much TV or even go to the movies so I'm not sure I would get all that excited.  I think the same goes for pro athletes.

Depends on your definition of celebrities.
My dad was a GS15 in charge of the Army portion of the DoD budget, and would testify in front of congress every year. Mom liked to throw dinner parties for 50-100 people in our backyard every summer. Many times, security for the party was furnished by the secret service, due to members of the guest list.
Ted Kennedy always liked moms grashopper pie.
Nancy Reagan had dietary issues, and mom would make several desserts special so she could eat something.
Those are just a couple that I can remember off the cuff.

During college, I got to ride in one of the Grateful Deads tour buses from Redrock CO to Oklahoma, and talk with Jerry and Bill Kreutzman.
Met Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer backstage after one of their shows. I think it was at the 9:30 club.
REM crashed at my house in B-more one night. This was just before their first album came out.
3 years ago I worked on Missy Elliots mamas new house, and met miss Elliot several times.
Met Michael Vick several times as well. This was waay before he got in trouble.

Back in 1985, I worked in a car stereo store in Rockville MD installing car phones. I met every member of the Redskins that year, the coaches, etc.
