Only ones notable I ever recall meeting were Mario Andretti (he has a house near here), Larry Shinoda (he died shortly after, I didn't do it), Reeves Callaway (nice guy, talked to him a bit and had him sign a Callaway Corvette hat that I bought) and also had Paul Smart sign my Indy hat last year.

This won't mean anything to most of you, but I got to play Beethoven's 9th in Chicago's Orchestra Hall conducted by Sir Georg Solti.

AWESOME!!! 

I know, I'm a music geek...

I played Mussorsky/Borodin's "Pictures At An Exhibition" in Carnegie Hall in NYC back in '93.  Hung out with Eric Lewis of the Manhattan String Quartet afterwards.

Met a few movie stars/musicians/sports stars too.  I'll post up later, I'm supposed to be teaching now...

Somegirl... What instrument, or are you a vocalist?

[somegirl]

I play violin. You?

[The Bacon Junkie]

Percussion/drums. Basically anything I can hit or bang.   

Unfortunately,  the only time I've played since moving to CA  5 1/2 years ago was when I sat in with the band at DIMBY-West last spring.   

Do you play often?

[somegirl]

Yes, all the time, both orchestra and chamber music.

[The Bacon Junkie]

Sooo jealous... I miss it.   

Ok, threadjack over....

Let's see, Celebrities:
Lunch with Halle Berry, dinner with Julie Delpy (French actress), almost ran over Ice-T with a handtruck stacked with crates of Yoo-Hoo (long story), played basketball with the Black Eyed Peas all summer of '99, rugby in the Seattle Civic Center parking lot with Lit and The Living End, hung backstage with the Buzz Poets, Dropkick Murphy's, Less Than Jake.  Saw Ron Jeremy at various eating establishments (instant loss of appetite), and a couple others I can't remember...  Yikes!  How exciting....

That is one awesome piece of music!!   Hands down the favorite piece I've ever played in band. We played it my 2nd year in college (also in '93)...nowhere near Carnegie hall though.   I'm also a drummer.

Ya, it was pretty amazing. I'd seen concerts Carnegie Hall before, but never onstage.  One of my professors knew one of the percussionists of the City Orchestra. They needed extra hands in the pit (huge percussion section needed).  For the finale, I was wedged between a ginormous bass drum and rather large gong, with the French horn section on my left. Earplugs were DEFINATELY needed!      The coolest thing was that I was listed on a separate insert in the program as a "guest performer". Made me out to be more important than I really was...
