Celebrity Encounters

Have any of you guys ever met anyone even moderately famous?

Well today, I was driving home from school, through the middle of down town Auckland, and I see three familiar Black Guys walking down the street on the left of me.
"Holy Shit" I say to myself, that's De La Soul. I flick the indicators and turn the car into a hotel parking lot, jump out with a pad and pen and stroll over to the trio who are walking in the opposite direction.

I introduce myself and ask for their autographs, we exchange some small talk, I shake their hands and walk off, in utter awe and amazement.

One of the coolest moments in my short life. Those guys are really cool.

I was kinda disapointed that I had missed their concert last night, but this made up for that, IMO.

Autographs:

Good damn I wish I had a camera then, this is the only proof I have of my encounter with arguably one of the greatest hiphop groups ever...

Have any of you guys had a similar experience with a any other celebrities? Maybe you know someone who knows someone?

hmn. I saw Russell Crowe outside a Hotel once (Didn't ask for an Autograph, since he'd most likely punch me, or something). Also, i've met most of my favorite football players, plus the Admin of the team. I think my friend shook hands with Will Smith, as well.

Back in '93 I was shipping out to Hawaii for my duty station and was staying at the Marriot by San Diego. I was in the pool and some of them professional wrestlers came down to the pool. The Stiener brothers, Razor Ramone, and some other yahoo. I left the pool area and Lex Lugar (Coke Addict) was buying some shampoo in their little store. I didn't talk to them but it was pretty cool.

I have met and talked to Jimmy Buffet in a restaurant /bar in the Keys. Nappy roots was on the same plane, a couple of rows up about a year ago. Talked to them a bit. And a friend of mine is good friends with tom petty's brother. Does that count? I have also met two governers, a friends mom was once secratary of state for FL, and numerous state legislators. Another friends dad is high enough in the armed services that his direct boss is the Joint chiefs of staff. I played highschool baseball with a guy that has been in the majors for 10 years, I think with the Tigers now, but he wasnt famous then. And back in my waiter days, I waited on Charlie Daniels and his band right before a show.

Funny, I was going to say no to your orignal ???, but the more I thought about it, I kept finding more. Its just goes to show, its a small world.

I was in a Resort at Disney World. We were getting ready to leave and we just check out. Then in walks Gloria Estefan. My sister ran into her, not knowing who she was, and didnt even appologize. I was going to ask her for an autograph but a group of kids surrounded her so I didnt bother.

When I played basketball last year we played a team with Jeff Hostetlers son on it. I thought that was pretty cool cause his dad was sitting up in the stands with Don Nieland(former coach of the West Virginia Mountaineers) so I thought that was pretty cool.

Those are all my expierences

when I was about 5 yrs old, we lived in Long Island. MY sister was much older than me, about 15-17 I think and she went to John F Kennedy High School. Well one day she brought a freind over and I guess she spent the night or some shit. Well about 2 years later we moved down to Fl and we saw some stuff about Amy Fischer. Turns out that Amy Fischer, aka The Long Island Lolita, spent the night at my house! Whooooowa! I had a attempted murderer spend the night at my house!

Other than that I've met a lot of pro inliners because I used to really be into that. Also my family is personal freinds with Jerry Cooney.
