Eep. That could've been a scary meeting...


As far as I go, I don't think I've ever met anyone noteworthy. Though Tony Blair came to our town about 10 years ago and I managed to shake his hand and get his autograph. That could count as a 'meeting'. I'm not sure if we swapped many words....



On another note, having read the "broken toe" thread and subsequently hurting my own toe not long after, I would like to expect to go out tomorrow and meet Axl Rose at Tesco. :yes:

... You shop at Tesco? Fascist!

He was pretty cool, actually.  Quiet, but nice. Met him and Volkoff at the same time. Nikolai is a true gentleman.

Ralph Fiennes, Trevor Nunn,Roger Allam. Buckethead, Del James, The guy the movie SHINE was about, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Green and I talked to Don Murphy on the phone. Everybody but Don Murphy was nice.

Linda Hamilton (actress and co-star of the YCBM video)  really cool and down to earth.  class act!

Shiny McShine?!




And Tesco is the only 'big' supermarket near where I live, so if that makes me a fascist.... well, you can sign me up for the BNP!

Jerry Orbach from Law & Order TV show

I don't know if this counts, but I kinda met Conan O'Brian.  I just didn't know who he was when I did :hihi:  I was heavily pregnant and had brought my dog to the vet's office.  There was a guy standing at the counter talking to the receptionists.  We saw each other and I politely said hi. After he left, everyone at the office started saying "I can't believe it, that was Conan O'Brian!" 

That was about 10 years ago or so.  His parents lived nearby and he had come to visit.  One of his dogs came up lame on the beach.  The only thing I told him was "Watch out, my dog might have mange" as he walked by with his dog :rofl:

I'll try to get it uploaded tonight!  : ok:

Cool! :D What did you think?

He was a great actor on the Law & Order series.  : ok:

I have come to the conclusion that there are no famous people in Scotland. At all. Unless bands come here on tour, there is no one of note here.

I'm going to have to become famous somehow.

Seth McFarlane is so cool. Can you answer a question for me. In the Family Guy episode with Stewie's video, did he place a tribute to GNR videos? I just saw some similarities to November rain and Don't Cry but most people thought it was just my imagination.

I'd love to meet Ronnie!  : ok:

i'm waiting.

Sorry for the wait. My computer takes forever to transfer pictures from my camera, so I usually don't look forward to doing it all that often.

thanks!  it's worth the wait.  :peace: any titbit you can share?

Not much - they're both really cool. Very friendly folks. I talked to them for about 5 minutes then they had to leave for their next stop. Definitely meet them if you ever have the chance!

I wish ;D

reading jazjme's list.. it get me wondering.. did he meet adam sandler once again right after he met him the first time?


hellyeah! tell us about the tits!

Of course.  He keeps a list.

Screw the tits, I wanna know where BH got his sexy red shirt from.  I could probably never afford it.

Haha - damn right. It's DEAD sexy.  :hihi:

It's a CK - I forget where I got it, though.

My list is rather short compared to all of these!

Soon to be famous Quan Cosby (played for the Texas Longhorns; just signed with the Bengals)

Jon Bon Jovi and Axl Rose... oh wait, that was a dream!!!

I've never met a famous person.

I met the members of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.  I was up at Siena College near Albany, NY for a concert of theirs and we were wandering around campus hours before the show when buses started pulling in.  They ended up being their tour buses and we talked to them for a little while.  It was cool, though I wasn't a huge fan so I wasn't all that starstruck.

A couple years back I was at a strip club in East Hartford, CT on a Monday night in late summer when a black guy walked in with a couple big dudes with him.  He looked kind of familiar and people started questioning whether it was Michael Irvin.  We weren't sure, but someone finally straight out asked him and he admitted to it.  Then he proceeded to sit down at the stage with the rest of us and bought everyone a drink.  He was throwing dollar bills all over the stage and the girls were obviously all over him.  We spoke to some of the girls and they said he frequented the club quite often and always picked one girl for the night.  He was all decked out, we deduced afterwards that he came to the club after filming a segment for Monday Night Countdown on ESPN, down the road in Bristol, CT.  He was wearing one of his Super Bowl rings, actually it was the one they beat the Steelers with because we were admiring it and he actually passed it down the line so one of my friends (a Steeler fan) could try it on.  We were all completely starstruck and had basically forgotten about all the hot naked chicks dancing around.  We were all focused on The Playmaker, he was cool as shit.  This was prior to his legal troubles a couple years back.  Anyhow, he left us after an hour or so and went into the back room with the lucky lady of the night.

A less interesting story, we were at that same strip club a few months later and a couple DJ's were there.  I don't even know if they were syndicated, I think they were because Howard Stern mentioned them a couple times.  They were stationed in Connecticut though, Star and Buckwild were their names.  Anyway, they too threw money all over the stage but they didn't have any Super Bowl Rings.  The interesting thing about them is they're black guys, they worked at a hip hop station.  So I thought they were these gangster rapper, or at least hip hop loving guys.  But they were working the DJ and kept requesting all these hair metal songs, which I absolutely loved.  They were singing along to the songs, having the times of their lives, it was surreal and unexpected.

I also ran into Bronson Arroyo in Baltimore after a Sox/O's game.  He was talking to some young chicks, one of which one of my friends went to school with whose nickname at college was "Sticky Nicky".  I shook his hand and took a picture of him, but that was it.

I think that's all, except for going to get people's autographs at signings and stuff.

I can't believe you met Michael Irvin!  That is so cool.  I'm jealous!!

I also met Billy Joe Shaver and Dennis DeYoung.

the hives

Got to add meeting David Wright, Johan Santana and Livan Hernandez  of the NY Mets to my list.............went early to batting practice two days ago in Baltimore.....very pleasant guys...even two days after Johan got decimated 15-0  :nervous:

I've met Hank Williams III, Jack Johnson, former Purdue basketball coach Gene Keady, former Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight, John Goodman, Dwight Gooden during his cocaine years, the lead singer of Fishbone (I didn't know who he was until he took the stage), I had a class with Glenn Robinson.

I've played baseball and basketball against several former major leagers and NBAers.

While visiting a buddy in West Hollywood my wife and I saw Hulk Hogan and exchanged waves, Woody harrelson at the LA farmers market and we had breakfast 3 tables away from Jason Lee (My Name is Earl) but I didn't bother him and his family.

This doesn't count but my Mom, back in the 70s, smoked a joint with Glen Frey's parents at an Eagles concert.

Dude, you met Izzy.

Does infamous count? I had a class with Michael Vick in college.

I met The Rock, he trains in the same gym I go, see him almost everytime, hes cool guy.
Duff-super cool
Slash-shy
Bret Micheals-cool guy
Susan Sarandon
Kevin Dubrow (RIP)-the coolest

Tinted Windows, the new band featuring Taylor Hanson, James Iha, and Bun E. Carlos stopped by the other day. Bun E. couldn't make it unfortunately, so I met Taylor, James, and their bass player who used to be in Fountains Of Wayne.

Taylor and James are VERY cool guys.

Weird Al Yankovic

The rest are all baseball players.

I also met Lou Diamond Phillips when he was on Broadway after a performance of THE KING and I.

Off the top of my head:
Duff
Scott Weiland (walked right into him on a street corner..literally)
Sebastian Bach
The Darkness
Jimmy Carr (about 4 times now, class act)
Matt Striker
Black Stone Cherry
HIM (just for a laugh...the singer kissed me on the cheek :S, he was hammered)
Ally McCoist
Princess Anne (at School when I was 10)
Ginger from The Wildhearts (at the bar at a Darkness gig)

theres more but due to it being nearly 4am here my mind is blank.

I kind of met the singer from Papa Roach, as he came into the crowd and was about five feet from me. And I met the guitarist from Burn Halo, although their not really famous. (Though they toured with Buckcherry and A7X) And it was kinda ll in the same night, so, basically, I suck at meeting famous people.

Wait, now that I think of it, I did meet Paul Sorvino in a KFC with his daughter.
