I’ve never met a celebrity. Not once. With my luck, I would meet someone who sucks rear end anyway.

I went to high school with Brian of the Backstreet Boys. My bff at the time had a massive crush on him so we prank called his house. I've never really met a celeb in the wild, but I have met them at various book signings, concerts, and cons.

I’ve seen Danny McBride and Bill Murray out and about in Charleston a few times but otherwise I’m pretty celebrity free. A dude I used to party with a lot won a Grammy playing guitar behind Jason Isbell. A buddy of mine dated a popular singer from American Idol who was from Charleston so I met her a few times.

Rob was the lead singer of Catherine Wheel and then founded Singer Porsche. I was pretty amazed to see Singer #1 in the Petersen Museum's vault when I took my mom there a few years ago - I've ridden in it many times. The Catherine Wheel is a band I haven't thought of in a bit. "Chrome" is a great record.

I think Colin Jost finally won the joke swap on SNL by having Michael Che creat beef and inviting a diss track from Kendrick Lamar. Dude clearly did not want the risk of it being taken seriously and could barely get through it.

I do appreciate that Rob & Bruce fronted bands that were named after medieval torture devices.  The closest I got to a celebrity was running into Everclear at the line for Space Mountain in Disney World. harperdc posted:I miss going to Ground Kontrol, used to go to their Rock Band nights there somewhat frequently in like 2009-10, it’s on my list of places to see next time I get home. The lease on my current studio spot will end in September and it looks like we're likely moving to a spot in Southeast Portland. While it's technically closer than my current spot, my commute will take longer since I have to do more walking. I may get back into bike commuting again, tho this place doesn't have showers like my current place has so I'll be all stinky at my desk throughout the day.

The 82nd Airborne sticker on the left does bring up one question: did they wash out of Special Forces selection? Selection is done at Fort My current housemate was in 82nd when they were sent to Haiti for humanitarian aid during that really bad earthquake. He's got some… stories about watching a civilization collapse right in front of him.

For as many famous people are in the area, I guess I have not seen many of them. I met Robb Flynn from Machine Head at a non-Machine Head concert, and I was on a flight with Coolio. That is all I can think of.

I hope Robb Flynn was cool, he seems like a good dude but "never meet your heroes" and all that. I met Myles Garrett at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the summer after being drafted, dude was absolutely massive and very polite. I didn't even recognize him at first but my son geeked out and asked him for a picture and talked for a couple minutes.

I failed to meet Eric Dickerson because I went to take a piss when he came to the nosebleeds at a Rams game after halftime with other old veteran Rams players, just hanging out and watching the game. My friends all got pictures with them though. I saw them from a distance when I came back but I didn't want to bother them. I also didn't even know what they looked like at first glance so whatever. I know too many social media stars via one of my relatives. I don't know if they should count due to the um fine wine like ages in this group.  edit: words hard to parse!! 3 DONG HORSE fucked around with this message at 17:19 on May 20, 2024 |

I was once standing outside in downtown Chicago and I'm 95% sure it was Vince Vaughn who walked by me, gave me a quick nod and continued walking. He was wearing sunglasses so I couldn't be 100% sure.

I've met Joe Montana, shook his hand. talked to him and got a signed football. Braks and I talked to Mick Foley after his comedy special in Lafayette, he signed my fantasy football belt, very nice dude. Talked to Roman Harper at the NOLA airport, dude's neck truly is a thick tree trunk, but no one else seemed to know who he was (maybe because it was 5:30 in the morning). Braks and I met Billy Mitchell and Walter Day at the Houston Arcade Expo years ago. Billy gave out little bottles of hot sauce, and ended up joining us playing trivia afterwards. Also met Tim Kitzrow (the NBA JAM BOOMSHAKALAKA guy) there, dude was very friendly and down to earth. Braksgirl posted:I went to high school with Brian of the Backstreet Boys. My bff at the time had a massive crush on him so we prank called his house. Braks has been within 3 feet of the entire Star Trek TNG cast but at the time had no idea who the hell they were, so it didn't bother her.

He was cool, it was in the 90's and he tolerated teenage me and a few friends coming up to talk to him for 2 minutes or so. He was very drunk, so I doubt we were as memorable to him.

I was picking up my aunt from the airport late one night in Fort Lauderdale. There was a family with two young kids, and like a son and his father, all dressed in Seahawks gear. Russell Wilson was flying in and was supposed to come out through the same set of doors my aunt was (different flights). I was making conversation with one of the dad's when sire enough he walked out. He signed some stuff for the kids, dapped me up, took a few pics and bounced all in like 45 seconds. It was really nice of him to do and was impressed at his efficiency at making the kids happy and not spending a lot of time since I bet that is something he gets everywhere he goes. My biggest takeaway was that I was bigger than him and felt confident I could tackle him (assuming he had some type of speed limiting device).

Oh I know a few former NBA players since Seattle in the late 90s to mid 00s had a huge amount of talent. Aaron Brooks threatened my entire freshman English class because we were awful to the teacher. I've mentioned it before but girlfriend still has an 20+ year old grudge against Nate Robinson because he was a dick to her little sister. I also work with the second wife of one of the Ezell's founders.
