Who are the famous people you've met?
Anne Rice
Darryl Hall Some folks from a 60's revival tour; I don't remember their names @ the moment (I've got their autographs someplace...) Ted DiBiase Amanda Palmer Brian Viglione David Byrne Lord Alfred Hayes Lead singer of the group Gollum (forget his name @ the moment, too) Two celebs whom I've got their autographs but never actually met them: Yoko Ono (hers was personalized to me, which was way cool; I'll tell the story sometime) Rick Ocasek (from when he was filming a video in NYC many moons ago; a kind roadie/video crew person got his & the model's signatures for me) I've gotten into arguments w/wrasslers @ a house show, which was fun. I know there are others, but I'll most likely remember them @ 3am...

Geez, I ain't hardly ever met anyone.
 Well, long ago, there was Alan King. Yep, related to Martin Jr., and yes, in second grade we got into a racial fight with others. I was the one on his side. Weird, huh? But an achievement I'll never forget. Then there was this time I was a private courier, and had to take an envelope to Burke Lakefront Airport to met a private jet with Elvis Presley in it. All i got to see was a big goon in a suit, so I said, "It has to be signed for personally." He said, "Bullshit !". So I backed off coz I was lying  , and missed meeting the King, by that much.

I love Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
 I once stood right behind Kim Bassinger when I was doing extra work. It was a scene in a Starbucks, and I was behind her in line. I was not allowed to make eye contact with her. It was interesting. She is not really any taller than I am, and very, very pretty. |

the island I lived on was seething with off-duty celebs, but I never met any of them.
I once saw Heather Graham in a local restaurant. she wasn't wearing makeup, and looked a bit tired. my cousin rented a boat to Michael J. Fox. she said he was really nice. I met a fugitive former international hash dealer on the run from INTERPOL - does that count? I was an extra in a movie with Gerard Depardieu, but I never met him. I got paid $75/day to pretend to drink fake beer, though. |

She basically had the same expression she always has...somewhere between boredom and profound insight.
Why would she be worried ? Have you not been replying to her emails ? |
