Have you met a famous person? In the immortal words of Cantrip and Razor - pics, or it never happened.

Here's my brush with fame - Barry Williams (aka Greg Brady) about 10ish years ago. I was young - older than Dragon still, but young (probably Titanium/Luap's age at the time).

Ok... guilty confession time.. I'm a Trekker... I've met most of the characters from the original, DS9, voyager oh and some of the folks from Buffy/Angel seriesssss'... Oh and lets not forget Andromeda and Farscape... ok, I used to go to the Cons... Oh and the last Con I went to in Vegas, I sat next to Greg Evigan at the poker table (too old for most of you to remember him).

I have many pics except they are autographed and I don't take them out of their little plastic preservative protective thingys...

While I was going to school for an audio degree, one of my teachers was Richard Hinklin, a close associate of Jack Endino ( now known as "the godfather of grunge" ). Both of them worked on a variety of projects, ranging from Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Green River. Both worked on Nirvana's first demo at Reciprocal Recording.

Fine, so no one else knows who he is, but he's a bigshot player in the audio industry.

<-- Huge jealousy


I've met and chatted with the members of Blue Scholars, a local hip-hop group. Also a couple local turntablists. I saw Bill Nye in a Ballard starbucks, I went to school with the daughter of and briefly met Dan Wilson, who was a catcher for the Mariners. Also met and got autographs from Ken Griffey Jr., Ichiro, Jay Buhner, and Edgar Martinez. Also briefly met Stephen Hawking after a symposium at UW.

I didn't know it at the time, but at some point my mom had a party at our house and one of our guests was the guy who played the cop in reservoir dogs that got his ear cut off.

I've never really met anyone famous, but I have had some close encounters/seen people, such as:

Samuel L. Jackson
Bryan Hitt, drummer of REO Speedwagon
One of the members of Guns 'n' Roses...his name escapes me

Okay, I'll say what everyone is thinking.  Damn Mrs. C, you're hot.   In a platonic kind of way of course.  Yeah, that's the ticket.

Here's a very recent pic of me and Mencia, the comedian.  I was drunk off my ass:



Famous people I have had like conversations with for more than a hi/bye situation:

-Patrick Stewart when he was doing a show and we got to hang with him as part of our class; he incorporated two of my ideas into his show later that night.
-Juliet Stevenson from the movie Truely, Madly, Deeply.  I nearly crashed her rental car into a wall returning it to the rental co. for her. 
-Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.  I talked to her and had dinner at a table next to hers.  I entertained her husband, who has been losing his mind for many years.
-Chief Justice John Roberts, who at the time was not even close to being appointed.  The two kids that were dicking around during his press conference after his appointment were just two weeks old at the time I met him.  We must have talked for a half an hour.  He's a super swell guy and real down-to-earth.
-Tim McInnery, who played Capt. Darling in the Blackadder series staged in WWI.  Got shitfaced with him at a bar after his stage show.
-WDF?  Met him for literally 15 minutes like three or four years ago.  I brought him a case  of his favorite beer.  -He didn't offer me any.  :(

That's all I can think of at the moment. This is hard. Hurts my widdle head.
