I've brushed shoulders with 2 people I would call relatively famous.

James Goodnight's aunt was my grandmother. You'd think I'd have a cooshy job at SAS by now but when she died their family didnt even call my family....Pretty shitty move.

Also, my step-brother is Eddie Walker who has played drums in Ben Fold's Five as well as for Ben Fold's solo carrer. He's had a few bands with some notables like Evan Olson. It was pretty funny cause at my sister's wedding this summer Eddie had to take over the ONE speaker with a mic we had setup there because the old foagies in my family couldnt figure it out.

I have posted this before. DJ Qualls seems to pop up anywhere, and everywhere. Maybe its because he is just so recognizable or what, but he is probably the one person, over the past 5 or 6 years, who more and more people I know seem too see.

Autographs from:
Coby Dick (singer from Papa Roach) ... I was young
Kevin Nealon (SNL/Actor)
Jack Black (actually got to hang out with him for a bit)
Kyle Glass (jack blacks Tenacious D Bandmate)
Steve from Sum 41 (drummer)
Mike Shinoda (sp?) from Linkin Park / Fort Miner (raper/singer/guitarist)
Dummer from Alien Ant Farm (don't know his name, but he autographed his drum stick from me)
Ralphie Mays (comedian)
Petey Pablo autographed CD

thats all I can think of for autographs... I do have an autograph from Jerry Bruckheimer on this huge "making of Armageddon" book that disney awarded me.. but I didn't get that autograph or meet him, so I don't count it.

Other celebs I have met:
Mellisa Joan Heart (sabrina the teenage witch)
R. Kelly (didn't say much to him)
Joshua Jackson (got his autograph...made fun of him, to his face... gave autograph away)
Fred Durst (he personally kicked my little brother out of his "party" because my little brother got in an argument with him calling him a little "bitch") I was never more proud
Chris Rock...he was actually a douche bag
tons of Carolina Hurricanes stroll into the theater. Mostly Hedican and his olympic gold medalist of a wife..

thats all i can think of for now

9/20/2006 2:17:52 PM

theres a big difference between meeting someone, and knowing them.

will these people you listed know you by name if asked?

9/20/2006 2:19:06 PM

^if that question is directed towards me, the answer is more than likely not.

but seeing how the title of the thread emphasized "YOU" ...i thought i'd share since most other posts on this thread don't even have anything to do with the person posted.. except by relation to other people

so my post is just as valid as anyone else's.

9/20/2006 2:41:06 PM

im directing it towards everyone posting.

9/20/2006 2:46:12 PM

well, then ... fair enough

9/20/2006 2:52:30 PM

I know Schlonger..soon to be famous schlonger..
heres a good one...my uncle grew up in Buffalo, NY...went trick or treating and the Juice OJ Simpson answered the door, he wasnt a murderer yet! Big star up there.. and he signed his pumpkin.....

9/20/2006 2:54:43 PM

know /= meet or autograph

9/20/2006 3:13:59 PM

my aunt and uncle are good friends with Rudy from like the first Survivor

oh, and i bought car parts from olivia newton john's nephew

9/20/2006 3:16:32 PM

are we talking about seen, or people we've actually met and have known?


People I've actually known:

i was the one who handed Tiki his framed jersey when our high school retired the Barber twins' football jerseys

i have had dinner twice with PGA golfer Craig Parry after the '94 and '95 Greater Greensboro Open

I caddied for Rece Davis at this year's Jimmy V tournament

I golfed with Fred Funk in Hilton Head

my backyard neighbor in St. Louis was Lou Ferigno (the Incredible Hulk, World's Strongest Man contests) and I cleaned his pool a few times for $20 a pop

also in our neighborhood was Cardinals 2nd baseman Tommy Herr and we had dinner at his house once.

the guy who dressed as Fred Bird (the Cardinals mascot) went to our church and was in my parent's bible study group

Jim Goodnight is my fraternity brother

I waited on Deuce Staley and he left me a $60 tip

I golfed with the dorky kid from Step By Step

I golfed with NBA Hall of Famer Bob Cousy

9/20/2006 3:45:49 PM

^sorry, i never really claimed to have "known" any of the celebs i've met...

but your definition of "known" is great.

you had dinner with someone, you waited on someone and they left you a tip....you handed someone something on stage...

you must know a lot of people

9/20/2006 3:52:23 PM

Once Avril Lavigne gave me directions, but they were all backsteets and dirtroads instead of the highway

I wondered why she had to go and make things so complicated

9/20/2006 3:52:52 PM

ahhhnnnniice

9/20/2006 3:56:01 PM

^^^ getting somebody's autograph is one thing

going to high school with somebody, playing a 5 hour round of golf with someone, caddying for someone and walking a golf course for 5 hours talking with him, eating dinner with someone, living next door to someone is totally different

[Edited on September 20, 2006 at 3:56 PM. Reason : .]

9/20/2006 3:56:38 PM

not that i really care..

honestly playing golf with a cool celeb would be neat...

but i'd rather hang out and share a couple of cigarettes and laughs with jack black than wait on someone

living next to a celebrity would be cool.
did the hulk have a lot of parties?

9/20/2006 3:58:43 PM

he was rarely there

9/20/2006 4:00:09 PM

what movie have i seen him in, semi recently, where he played like a security guard?


ohh...yeah, durr, it was in THE HULK...

[Edited on September 20, 2006 at 4:03 PM. Reason : im an idiot]

don't exactly know anyone famous. i've met lots of people. my stepmom partied with brad pitt back in college. she was friends with a guy in his fraternity so they'd always go out together. supposedly he named his car betty or something like that and always talked about "her".

9/20/2006 4:03:44 PM

My cousin used to get high with and fuck Nick Hexum before 311 was remotely known.

9/20/2006 5:29:46 PM

i was almost run over by tom glavine
clinton and gore came to my elementary school
i shook matthew broderick's hand after seeing 'how to succeed in business...'
i saw dante calabria at a gas station and called him a hairy cunt
