I haven't had too many...

When "My Blue Heaven" was being made, I worked in a coffee shop and got to drink java with Rick Morranis and Steve Martin everyday for a week - they used our shop for coffee as we let them in before we opened (we were in the shopping center that a lot of the filming was done in).

I have met Ahnold (the gov) as he had a vacation home in Pismo and he worked out at Pismo Health Club when there.

I have met Sylvester Stallone at a trade show (he's a *****).

I have met Ronald Regan and both Bushes (Related to the Bush Family).

Have had dinner with former Govener Pete Wilson on numerous occasions.

Went to high school with chris ponteus' brother from jackass...lived near wee-man and the producer was a student of my dad.

I could keep going on and on with a list of models (my dad is a photographer and my mom was a model agent)....

but I wont.....

 

Im Redd Foxx and John Leguizamo's love child

 

I use to work at Skips Music (famous little Sac music shop) during my high school years. At least every two months someone noticeable walked in, but the most memorable was part of the Deftones.

I didn't get a chance to talk to Chino, either he was too stoned or I didn't want to go up to him and say the same **** everyone else would say ("OMG, UR TEH SHEEIIIT DEFONTZ R TEH ROCK! \M/!!"), but I did get to talk to Stephen Carpenter, which was ****ing awesome. I didn't talk to him too much, but rather he rambled his *** off about guitar tone. Seriously, DO NOT ask him about his rig, or he will literally explain it detail by detail for hours on end.

Still, it was cool as hell to see Chino standing in front of my register and to hear all about Stephen's set-up.

 

How so?

 

I saw barry bonds at a gas station in palo alto and chatted with him until he was done filling up his pimped out H2, he was pretty cool. He was also JACKED, and about 6'4", much bigger than I thought he would be.

Funny someone mentioned Roger Craig, I fit him and his wife for running shoes. They were both really cool.

I've said what's up to steve young, jerry rice, and joe montana. All smiled and answered back. (I'm hot)

I've also talked with Bill Auberlen, Christian Rado, RJ DeVera, and our very own Gary Shee-han. (But Gary's not a real celebrity yet. He's a damn good driver though. And a great guy to boot.)

 

i r teh jellos

 

oh yeah, when I worked at Burger King (16 yrs old), REO Speedwagon came through

 

all the time when I was living in SoCal, esp when I rolled through the Westside--Century City, Santa Monica, Bev Hills, & Hollywood. I bumped into a bunch of celebs, incl. Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Brian McKnight (HELLA cool dude...bought me and my buddies like $300 worth of drinks while we were waiting for a table @ Lawry's Prime Rib & watching the Laker game) Also gave my parking spot on Sunset to Nic Cage and his black Diablo, saw Usher at the Beverly Center (he was there for Sean John event), and several times ran into a bunch of the Clippers & Lakers at the Marina Del Rey Cheesecake Factory. Lamar Odom, Q Richardson, D Miles all used to hang/roll together and always sat at the same table in the back....cool guys too.

There's a bunch more, but everyone bumps into stars in LA. Most people don't even flinch. Only the tourists and transplants like me really do double takes!

 

Hes been at the Target I work at too

Other than that, Brandon Armstrong (New Jersey Nets player) was in my 5th and 6th grade elementry class, and CC Sabathia (Cleveland Indians pitcher) was in my dads econ class at Vallejo High (I kinda know him 2nd hand, like several people I know are good friends with him).

I also had Dana Carvey sneak into Six Flags Marine world while I was working there (well he snuck in in that someone else bought his ticket and handed it to me, and he went in kinda with his head down, baseball hat pulled over his face type of thing)

Ive also met a couple local news reporters from the bay area and from the sac area, but they dont count

 

Yes it is, I thought it was but I wasnt ever sure... Its always so nice and clean
