Has anyone ever met anyone famous?

[AccordWarrior]

Just figured I'd see if anyone knew anyone famous or met/hung out with them. I haven't really met too many famous people, just a few guys from bands mainly and a few athletes.

Alex from Finch
The guitarist from Atreyu
Bob and Mike from Hey Mercedes
Anthony, the singer of Bayside
The drummer and guitarist of Simple Plan
Ben Coates
Sam Gash
Vincent Brisby
Troy Brown

and that's about it. I just didn't know if anyone here is close with anyone.

I hung out with and went surfing with Cliff Williams daughter quite a few times. (think AC/DC) I never met him, but saw him at their graduation.

I think there was someone else.. but I forgot.

I haven't hung out with any 'famous' people, but have met the following:

Dallas Stars:
Mike Modano
Brett Hull

Dallas Cowboys:

Darren Woodson
Deion Sanders (saw at a walmart in west Plano and he was being a dick to his kid)

Texas Rangers:

One other guy there whose name escapes me and it'll aggravate me until I think of it.

Cleveland Indians:
Roberto Alomar
John Rocker (this was after the Sports Illustrated debacle)
Kenny Lofton

Music:
Willie Nelson when I was 10

I know some players have changed teams, but the teams listed were for who they were playing for when I met them.

[93accord2dr]

I've pissed next to Jeff Goldblum, sat next to: Wayne Gretzgy(sp?), Marcus Allen, and a drunken phone sex operator

I think I waited on McNabb once... All the Eagles come into my crappy restaurant for whatever reason. Most of them tip horribly. I probably waited on more than Donovan, but I wouldn't recognize them if I saw them... I barely recognized him! To me, they're just big guys that always eat steak... I'm not much of a football fan.

I had lunch with Adam Goren (the one and only Atom and his Package). He's not really famous outside of the Philly punk scene though. He was going to contribute music for a video game I was making (still have it designed, waiting on competent artists and programers... I lost my team before it was done)

That's all I know of for sure.

Harry Callas is (or was... is he still alive?) a good friend of my mom's fiancee's family. I haven't met him, but the connection is there!
