What or Who Have You Seen ?

Richard Nixon, Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and Howard Baker.

Anyone guess my parent's politics?

[Oldfisti]

OH YEAH I ALMOST FORGOT...


I had the pleasure of hanging out with Monsterlover.

Another guy who is really cool in person.  You would never even know he was famous.

Richard Nixon, Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and Howard Baker.

Libertarian?

Maybe Whig?

I got to meet with celebrity chef Graham Kerr. That was cool.

Saw Darth Vader in mall in Colorado Springs back in the early 80's.

Picked up Randy Macho Man Savage and the Undertaker from the airport when I was 19 working as a Bell Boy.  Oh YEAH!

Got to see Mountain Bike greats John Tomac and Greg Harbold race.

Saw just how fast Doug Coombs could ski. There was no way that I could keep up. He made me look like it was my first time on the bunny hill.

haha and saw Eddie Vedder making an ass of himself in a Seattle resturant being a 'big shot.'

I saw Santa Claus last year.  He was eating at the Mall after a photo shoot.

I was skijoring with a pair of my huskies (X-country skiing with a pulling dog (s))in Anchorage and saw the Governor, Tony Knowles.  He was skiing with his old dog.  His old dog could barely run, and when it saw my fast dogs pulling me and running rowards it, it just froze in the middle of the trail.  My dogs and I tried to miss the Governors dog but we saw her too late.  My dogs ran over her and I crashed, hitting her in the side.  When I landed I thought, "oh shit, I've killed the governor's dog."   Before I could get up Tony came over to help me up and apologized.  To be honest the crash was my fault. Turned out his dog was okay.  At the end of the ski he came into the parking lot while I was loading my dogs and taking off their harnesses.  He came over to again apologize.  I asked him if he would be running for US Senate and he said yes.  I wished him luck.  Voted for him too.

Got to see Kurt Cobain, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Duane Almond in concert just days before each of them died.  I know it is a weird thing.  Thankfully I saw Kenny Wayne Sheppard 4 years ago and he is still alive and playing better guitar all the time, so it seems the curse is over.

Got to know one of the old jazz greats Lionel Hampton really well.
Had lunch with him every year in February in little old Moscow Idaho.
Man what a cool guy.

My wife played in that festival a few times.  I thought that it was in Sandpoint though.

Met Juan Manuel Fangio, translated an interview with him, and was driven around the old Ontario Motor Speedway by the Maestro himself.  1976.  It was a promo thing for Mercedes and the Long Beach Grand Prix.  For an Argentine kid (well, I was 19), it doesnt get much better than that.

Had a pleasant chat with Carol King on a flight from San Francisco to LA.  Talked Jay Leno into buying a particular book at a local auto bookstore.  Sold car models to Jerry Seinfeld, John Frankenheimer, Dan Gurney, and JM Fangio II.  Had lunch with Brian Redman.

One of my finer moments.      There may have been alcohol involved.


In this town (particularly in Montecito) you can run into these types of people all over the place. And everybody in my industry has a good story that starts, "when we worked on X's house that friggin' tawt waffle insisted that we [insert something insane] for free." Nobody pays them much attention (which is why they live here I suspect). They are near universally douche bags, particularly to wait staff and domestic workers. Except the sister of the Shah of Iran. Really nice lady. My only regret is that I couldn't come up with a good Mork and Mindy reference when I saw Johnathan winters in the grocery store. Nanu Nanu just wasn't going to cut it.

I think there is a jazz fest in Sandpoint, but i'm talking the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in Moscow,
end of every February. I have to say it's declined in style and coolness since Lionel passed away and
Doc Skinner retired. Then John Clayton took the reins. meh now.
I remember getting drunk before a performance with Benny Greene. It was funnier than hell to watch
that guy play the piano drunk. Talk about smooth.

Speaking of Jonathon Winters. I used to work for a company that dealt in Americana antiques and we'd do shows
all over Southern Cali. Anyway Jonathan Winters comes into the show and wanted to trade paintings he did for antiques.
I told him I couldn't do that but the boss would be back in 15 and we'll talk to him. Anyway the boss went for it thinking the paintings would be worth something some day. Think of a horse reclining on a divan but with huge tits and a vajayjay.
