Know someone famous? I'm not talking about someone you passed at starbucks. I mean someone you could go to their house if you wanted to.

Only person I know this well is Carrot Top.

How about you?

Art's grandpa.

And a family friend of ours when i was way young was the drummer for candlbox

I used to be able to go to Paul Allen's. . . when I worked for him.

I like Candlebox.... so to that I say "SWEEEET."

Talked to Tom Hamilton from Aerosmith once at a car show. I didn't even realize who he was, we were just discussing Ferraris. Seen a few others, but that's it. I'm not much of a celebrity person.

Steve

Stevie Nicks baked us cookies at the stereo shop in LA.

My spiritual advisor is not only a renowned prayer-dude-type-thing, but he's also the main proprietor of Dixies (Originally PORTERS' PLACE) BBQ, and was the original bass player for Sly and The Family Stone. Dude is soooo incredibly awesome. Totally showed me the power of prayer, too.

I met Sammy Hagar when I was in Mexico, but I can't say that I could go to his house anytime I wanted. Just said Hi as I was getting a margarita at the bar. I didn't even know it was him until I was walking away.

I also have met Good Charlotte, well before they wen't corporate. My girlfriend in the 9th grade, was a GCGirl, and she set them all up with their website and whatnot. That was back in 98/99. We got backstage to a local show of thiers. They didn't go big for a few years after that. I remember when 'Little Things' was on a tape (cassette) that I had a copy of that belonged to my ex. Kinda cool.

I'm with you on the Hagar thing but you lost me on the GC.

I know who they are.......

Were you in Cobo? Thats where Sammy lives.

Yea, I was getting a margarita at Cabo Wabo. I went upstairs during the day to get a t-shirt, and got a margarita too, and at the bar, was Sammy.

I was in Pedregal. Amazing place, I could definately live there during the summer. So beautiful, do warm, and the margaritas flow like tequila.

If you move there me and Subyluvr are coming to.... Just so we have people we know there. We could drive our roos on the beach.

i'm coming too, I'll cook

the former govenor of quangdong china. and the current mayor of salt lake. not exactly famous but they have power

my great great grand-uncle was Franklin Pierce, 14th Prez of the united states.
I also went to elementary school with jimi hendrix's nephew.

You know that's his bar, right? I mean, he OWNS it.

Jason Lee, waaaaaay back in like 92-93 when he was a really good pro skateboarder. He's a pretty well known actor now, frequently in Kevin Smith flicks.

Wil Wheaton, aka Wesley Crusher, at Gnomedex 4 and ApacheCon 2004. Very nice guy with a cool blog. Nothing like his on-screen dorky self.

The Woz, aka Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, at Gnomedex 4. Nice guy, my friend and I talked with him for a bit with...

Patrick Norton, formerly of the Screen Savers on TechTV. Went to lunch with him a few times, nice wife.

Nick Catalfano (NASIOC), Alex (i-club), Jamie (Subiegal) and a bunch of other media people in Detroit and Vegas last year. Ramana Lagemann, ProRally SOA driver was there too.

Matt Monson...azn2nr...Charlie...all of whom are famous in their own minds

impressive.

oh yeah, I know Jamie as well. In fact, she's in hot rod magazine this issue.

yay im famous in my own mind

Lol, yes Art. I knew that... I wouldn't have noticed him from Van Halen. I knew it was him because I know about Cabo Wabo Tequila (which is SOOOOOO good), and I knew he owns the bar and the tequila company.

Just checkin' up on you, Phil.

Hmm lets see.

I've watched a Tyson fight smokin' cigars and downing brew with Bruce Willis (best part was he was buying!). Also met Demi but she didn't really hang with us. My wife danced with Bruce too. Our friends were bouncers at one of his clubs in Ketchum ID (Sun Valley).

I've met/served Arnold Shwartzanegger (sp?) on a couple occasions. That guy is really full of himself. Maria was there too, she looks nasty in person.

Met Jamie Lee Curtis. She went bonkers over my hybrid Chinook. She was in a really skimpy top too and was all bent over playing with Chinook. Her boobies were all but falling out, it was great.

Met Picaboo Street. She's nice.

Got totally toasted with the lead singer/sax player for the Crazy 8's. That was a fun night.

Grew up with and am really good friends with Allister Schultz. Pro snowboarder.

Osage, if you know Burnside, you know Osage.

Andy and Jesse. For the life of me I can't remember their last names but they both rode for Joyride. We used to ride/skate the Barn ramp/party in S.V. all the time.

My really good friend Eli Aller own/operates Rocky Mt co-op in Gunnison CO. Beautiful glass work.

I've seen (not met) Steve Miller, Andre Aggassi (sp?), Candice Bergnine (again sp?) Stalone, Clint Eastwood, and Micheal Keaton (my wife made him a mocha while I watched).

I know there's more but I can't think of them right now.

Living in a big resort town you tend to meet and see a lot of celebrities but they're just people too. Most of them are really cool and just act like normal folks. Some act like asshats though (like Arnold ).

Matt - Is Picaboo as hot in person, as she looks in magazines?

She is sooooo fine. I saw her in Aspen not too long ago.

Ya, she's very cute and really down to earth too.

Now, she is on the thick side though with those huge thighs. I mean those things are like tree trunks. That's cool though, it's all muscle.
