While the couples were friends, I baby sat PF daughters A good friend of mine is currently engaged to Kerr Smith (from Dawson's Creek and currently on the Fosters) My parents lived in a golf community.

ApocalypseDreams Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Depends on your definition of "celebrity". I've met Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees/Mark Lanegan Band/QotSA fame. I saw him at one of his solo gigs and met him afterwards. Got a photo with him. I remember his hands being ice cold. I've also met Jerry Only from the Misfits before their gig. Got a photo with him, also. He was a lot smaller than I thought he'd be. I saw Mondo Generator in 2009, I think, and had a chat with Nick Oliveri. Cool guy.

mustlovedogs Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I met Apollo Anton Ono (US Olympic speed skating) down at the Olympic training facility. No one recognized him so we snagged a pic and then the media swarmed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snny Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Quite a bit. Joan Jett (not her real name) is a family friend. My dad went to school with her. She is a very busy woman, doing what she loves that I only got to meet her a few times in my entire life. She is the first woman to achieve the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame... And my freaking role model. My dad was best friends with Richard Thompson, very famous illustrator. Richard was good friends with Bill Watterson (artist behind Calvin and Hobbes). He passed away with Parkinson's disease about a year ago. He came to my HS graduation and wedding, and even hand drew me Christmas cards when I was a child. He was my godfather. Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. I stood in a long line at the Smithsonian museum to "geek out" at those incredible American heroes. I cried horribly over Neil's passing I once had breakfast with Jonas Neubauer, who is the world champion Tetris player (very coincidental). Incredibly interesting guy... I will never forget our conversations. Once had a very popular Japanese Rock Band in my bedroom (I can't remember their band name, but Japanese girls would have a vendetta against me if they - or the Japanese Press - found out). A friend of mine was director of a soundstage at a Japanese festival and she invited them over to our house to hang out. Very sexy people. A good friend of mine dated an NHL player from the Capitals. They aren't together, but I am so sad I couldn't have him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boltnrun Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm from the Los Angeles area, so celebrity sightings are common and frequent. We locals seldom even look up anymore. I have to say I did love meeting Mario Andretti and his wife Dee Ann. Lovely people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsuperman Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 See with me, I don't rate my chances of even recognizing anyone as that good. I'm usually just kind of in my own head. These are interesting to read though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaHermes Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 You find they are people just like us. Those I met, and I mean met personally, there was no sense of "celebrity". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymore Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Now that I remember, I had another one. John McCain approached me at my local Starbucks. He approached me and asked "Whatcha reading?" And I'm embarrassed to say that when I looked up and saw him my first words were "What the f***?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmFCA Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Al Gore when he was Veep. Advance team asked me to step aside in narrow passageway so he could walk by. Bradley Cooper. Lol I had no clue. Starbucks. Fish out of water in the context i saw him and I was studying the details trying to fill in the gaps that would tie the clues together. I thought he was maybe european, maybe not, maybe hipster. I thought his hair too long his suit too trendy and oddly tailored. I thought him the beneficiary of indulgent and wealthy parents. I thought it odd to see such a johnny-go-lightly at such an early hour. Ya. Just a little judgmental. Chastened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitown9 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I saw Clark in Las Vegas. He was standing in line with his wife to waiting to get in line everyone else to see a show. I saw Micky Rooney at the Hollywood Racing Track. He had just bought a ticket on a horse. I saw Goldie Hawn at the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena, California. She was talking to a group of friends. On each, occasion, none of the celebrities got mobbed, although they were recognized. I also saw Elvis Presley perform in a show in Long Beach, California. This was in his later years, and he died shortly after. chi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
