When I was in LA, I saw Adam Sandler at Barney's Beanery, Macy Gray at Amoeba Records and Jon Cryer at The Troubador. We didn't talk to Sandler or Gray but we were partying with Jon Cryer a bit. It was his birthday so a friend I was with bought him a drink and then we all rocked out to OK GO, who knew it was his birthday and played a cover of Pretty in Pink for him. That was pretty cool.
I saw Kevin Sorbo, Johnny Bench & Lee Trevino at a celebrity pro-am golf tournament I was catering in Myrtle Beach, SC.
James Earl Jones, Bizarre (from D12), and the washed up band, Firehouse have all stayed at the hotel I currently work at so I've met all of them.
I go to a lot of concerts and have met several bands over the years. Art Alexakis from Everclear (twice), Todd Lewis from The Toadies (several times), all of the Burden Brothers, all of the Foo Fighters, Fat Mike & Eric Melvin from NOFX, OK GO after the aforementioned show at the Troubador.
I also used to know Landon from one of the MTV Real World seasons (I went to college with him. His dorm room was 2 doors down from mine.) & Jordis Unga from Rockstar: INXS because she's from my 'hood & we used to party it up all the time.
My dad grew up across the alley from & went to high school with Hall of Fame baseball player, Paul Molitor (Brewers, Blue Jays, Twins) so I've met him several different times.
And last but not least, when I was younger, my dad took me to a local celebrity pro-am golf tourney and I got to meet & get autographs from... Mean Gene Okerlund, Jesse Ventura, Kirby Puckett, Kent Hrbek, Frank Viola and most of the World Champion 1987 Twins team. Oh, and I met Tony Oliva at a charity softball event my company put on two years ago.
I guess that about sums it up for me.
