Famous people (besides NBA) you've randomly met or seen?

Sinbad

 

I met Neon Trees(a band) after their concert in Mardi Gras galveston this year.

At around 2am we decided to go to whataburger before heading back to sleep and I guess they took a restroom stop. It was a pretty cool experience. I just went up and talked to them for a minute or so and shook their hands and hugged the drummer (pretty damn hot girl drummer) before we went on our ways

 

From interning at Comcast Sportsnet:

Andy Reid

Used to use the same bank as John Kruk, saw him there once.

Interviewed Bill Clinton for my high school newspaper when he was in Philly for a John Kerry rally. Otherworldy people skills, that guy.

I go out with Bob Sura every 3-4 weeks. Unfortunately, that leaves no females for the rest of the guys in the group.

 

lunch at my kitchen table then in a car for a couple hours touring a potential development about 20 years ago with the then lead singer of Midnight Oil, the now minister of parliament, Peter Garrett

 

I was three inches from the Dalai Llama in October at Emory University

 

I was in San Francisco for a wedding and ran into Robin Williams in a bar downtown. I didn't realize how short he is until then.

 

Met Minka Kelly at the Library in Austin 3-4 years back. Hot.

 

I've met Dave Chappelle, Jerry Rice, the band Seether, El Debarge, several basketball players, Cynthia Cooper, George Foreman, Scott Weiland, and a few others.

 

Almost got ran over by John Matuszak at a grocery store as a kid. He was coming out the door as I was coming in and he almost stepped on me. Literally. He was a f'ing giant and I obviously must have cringed in fear. He started laughing but was very apologetic. He nearly had to turn sideways to come out the door.

My best buddy used to work at the Southwest Lincoln Mercury dealership in the rental car division and Moses Malone was a regular. Met him on multiple occasions. He never remembered. He was always smiling and friendly but pretty monosyllabic.
