Title: Have you ever met a celebrity?
Post by: FullTilt on June 29, 2002, 04:15:11 PM: I work at a very small waterpark in Lincoln, NH called the Whale\'s Tale. While lifeguarding yesterday, I noticed a huge guy with a couple of kids, nothing out of the ordinary. A few minutes later, a couple guys came up, very excited, and told me that the huge guy was none other than Mick Foley, Mankind. I personally don\'t watch the WWF(Or is it WWE?) but it was cool seeing a celebrity anyway. Later, I walked by him and he said, "Sir, do you have the time?" I told him what time it was, and then I asked for his autograph on my T-Shirt. Now my lifeguarding shirt has "Mankind, Mick Foley" written on it. Have any of you ever met a celebrity up close and personal before?

Post by: theomen on June 29, 2002, 06:04:29 PM: Some Kings and 49ers, but then again it\'s really no biggie in Nor Cal. There more like distant reletives than celebs. If they walk in the mall people are usually pretty cool about it, and don\'t attack them (normally).

Post by: SonyFan on June 29, 2002, 06:26:55 PM: I was in DC attending a UAW conference/workshop with my dad a few years back. On the third or fourth day of the conference, we had a bunch of bigwigs from capital hill come down and give speaches. I tried to shake President Clinton\'s hand, but there was just no way you could get close enough with all those secret service men in the way. I did get to shake Senetor Kennedy\'s hand tho.

Took about a week to get rid of that burbon smell. = /

Other than that, no not really.

Post by: luckee on June 29, 2002, 08:45:55 PM: StoneCold, The "Admiral" David Robinson, MJ, Rodman..all of the 93 Bulls...all of the 97 Bulls. Warren Sapp, Mashall Faulk, Walter Payton, and Ice Cube.

Met SCSA in downtown Chicago. Thought it was him but wasnt positive..sure was..mofo took my cab :(

Met D.Robinson in downtown Chicago as well. I was like in the 8th grade and a few of us were skateboarding. He is walking down the Mag.Mile with some woman..his wife?... and once someone figured out who he was..he got stuck in signing some autographs. I was able to get one...dont know where it is to this day.

MJ and the other bulls I met at the old Chicago Stadium and at The United Center. I had a buddy who had like all access to the team b/c of his father was a friend of Phil Jackson..so i was brought along a few different occasions.

Mashall Faulk..I actually met him in a strip club...lol Down here in FL 2 months ago. Ran into in one of my favorite establishments ;) He\'s a pretty cool guy. He came in with 4 other guys and sat amoungst the public like he wasnt anything special. That happend to be right to the side of where me and 2 friends were. Gary(my friend) had probably the prettiest girl in the joint over by us. That of course attracted attn. from everyone around us including Faulk. According to him..since we had such great taste..he offered us..that girl..and 10 more to have some drinks with them. He ended up signing a $1 for me :)

Sapp..I didnt really meet him..I just saw him driving down here in his hummer. we were at a stop light and he had a SWEET total custom hummer.

Ice-Cube..I met him backstage after one of his concerts..I was a radio contest winner..this was back in 92\' He is also a pretty cool guy.

Payton..I met him at some charity thing a lonnnng time ago..I was quite young so I dont remember much.

Post by: Coredweller on July 05, 2002, 07:34:01 AM: I thought I should add that while I was taking the bus home on Wednesday night, I saw Pamela Anderson coming out of a "spa." I hate using that word, but that\'s what they call these places. It really annoys me because this particular property used to be a historic diner called the "Spanish Cafe" or something like that. They painted over all the words in Spanish except Spa and remodeled the place in horrible frosted glass and concrete.

I actually didn\'t meet Hugh Grant, but my dad did. We were living in Italy, and were waiting to pickup a relative at the airport. Low and behold, Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley were just sitting at a bar, and my dad walked over and talked to Hugh Grant briefly.

Post by: Black Samurai on August 17, 2004, 02:20:46 PM: I sold a laptop to Ty Law and chatted with him for about 10 minutes while the Techs were examining it. Very cool.

I used to go to the same barbershop as Lawyer Milloy. He talked SOOOO much trash while getting his hair cut.

When I worked at Lenox Mall in ATL I met a lot of people.

Including:

- K-Ci and JoJo
- Deon Sanders
- Evander Holyfield
- Usher
- The drummer from Blink 182
- Stephon Marbury
- Kelis (OMFG :eek: :eek: Pictures don\'t do her justice)
- Marcus Campby

Just one of the byproducts of working in a video game store next to a sneaker store in the cities most popular mall during the Super Bowl and knowing the right people during NBA All-Star Weekend.
