My Friend Had His Bike Ran Over By Diddy

[Frank Giaramita]

Adam Weiser at East/West informed me of his recent life changing experience (not literally). He was going about his normal business, when he stepped into an elevator and found himself standing next to P. Diddy and Missy Elliott. So I was wondering, have any of you ever come in close contact with famous musicians or other celebrities? Share your experiences in the replies.

[AreTwoKay]

At a gas station on the way to L.A. I seen Weeman from Jackass. Not real cool but I thought I would share.

[TheChariotRacer]

my sister works in new york and she bumped into LL Cool J on the streets.

[Mickey]

One time I got on an elevator with Adam Weiser

[thispostscript]

yea i played video games with Jaime Foxx in las vegas, he was the nicest, down to earth dude...I also met salt n pepa, buster douglas (dude who knocked tyson out in his heyday) and jermaine dupri in the same trip, jermaine dupri is funny, he is like 5'2 or seemed so but was surrounded by these enormous guys.

[Anton Djamoos]

I met the Hanson brothers.

[thexflamesxburn]

my family is into sports a lot. ive had dinner with joe torre, manager of the yankees (he is a client of my uncle's), as well as keith van horn (basketball player for the nets/knicks, client of my father's), and today actually i met phil ramone (songwriter's hall of fame, produced aretha franklin and many more). my family is close to nolan ryan (famous pitcher for the mets way back) and his family, he was a childhood friend of my father's. i met paul newman and billy zane (titanic) after a broadway show ("Chicago").

and not that he's a "celebrity" but i went to europe for two months with the red headed kid from american idol, remember him? jon stevens. (conan o'brien always makes fun of him on his late late show, yeah that kid)

[SLADE775]

I saw jason tate taking a shower one day when he had the window open.

[derricklc22]

I was eating at Olive Garden one day and I live near Bristol, Tn. so..... I was going about my business eating with my date and then out waitress if like do you not know how that is behind you? I looked back at this guy with an extremely large mullet and sunglasses and said no. So she looked in disbelief and said its Kyle Petty. I really didnt care because I hate Nascar, but he was a nice guy and he was rocking some huge shades, haha.

[Frank Giaramita]

After the Pop Disaster Tour, 2 friends and I got a room at a hotel kinda close by Grand Rapids.. We look outside and see a tour bus coming in so we just kinda go outside and check it out.. turns out it was none other than Saves The Day :D I was pretty damn happy. Oh I saw Tim Armstrong after a warped show too.. i told him he played like a champ :P

[Anton Djamoos]

LUCKY!!
I listened to three Hanson CDs yesterday. They're so underappreciated, it's not even funny. They make better music than a lot of the bands talked about on this site.

[SLADE775]

Last week at his show at our school, Colin Quinn sat down next to me on the bleachers in the back and started talking about Morrissey and Napoleon Dynamite. I also saw Foxy Brown outside of Grey's Papaya a few years ago.

[unwritten]

Tom Green randomly showed up in my store. I was walking out of the back room, I almost collapsed. Seeing him looking at the sneakers we sell and what not, I was basically laughing at anything he did, even if it was considered normal. lol, it was funny.

[etwiels]

How did Puff Daddy and Missy Elliot change his life...

[AreTwoKay]

[SuperJoe]

i was surfing in malibu a couple of years ago and i looked over and saw adam sandler in the waves next to me. talked to him for a couple of minutes. really cool dude.

also, something more akin to the AP crowd, Matt Skiba put me on the guest list of a sold out alk3 show at the 930 club in washington a couple of years ago. i met him before the show, told him what was up, he put me on the list. bought $50 worth of merch as a thank you.

[kevinhagan]

oh man...i dont wanna come off as bragging in this post, but ive been lucky enough to meet a lot of athletes and musicians.

for my radio show i have met and interviewed: justin, cove, and beau of saosin; andrew mcmahon and josh partington of something corporate; hrishikesh hirway of the one am radio; sarah balliet of murder by death; alex and logan of paulson; pete francis of dispatch; jacoby shaddix of papa roach, and some others.

other musicians i have met are kenny from moneen, claudio sanchez and mike todd from coheed, eddie from taking back sunday, kenny from the starting line, pete morcey from 100 demons, all of with honor, all of glassjaw, head automatica, so many more i cant even think.

i'd say the standouts are def: chilling with something corporate in their dressing room before their show at toads place in new haven. interviewed josh for the radio show, andrew walked in during it, and after the interview i talked to andrew for like 15 minutes and he signed the paper i wrote some questions down on so i didnt forget to mention anything. when i was talking to him i asked him if he had made the setlist for the show yet, and he said "no, why, are there some songs u wanted to hear tonight?" i responded with 4 or 5 songs i really wanted to hear and why...and he said "well i think yer gona have a really good night then." i def did, as they played every single one of those songs, including cavanaugh park. that was the one i said i wanted to hear most, and they actually opened with it, which made me feel awesome because all 3 times id seen soco before that, they opened with hurricane. oh man that was such a good night.

meeting my musical idol, daryl palumbo, def gotta mention. went to see glassjaw at snocore tour with sparta in worcester mass at the palladium. after the show, which obv was incredible, i waited outside near the bus and when the band came out i got them all to sign my ticket stub, and i got a pic of daryl, me, my best friend, and my girl together. so that rules. we talked for a few minutes, but id def love to meet him again and interview him for my show. he has been in the indy record store i work at a few times, never when i was there tho. grrrr. it'll happen tho hah.

interviewing jacoby shaddix of papa roach before their show in the dressing room at toads in new haven and then partying with them afterwards as well. i dont really care what the people on this board think of p roach, as i assume most who read this dont like em, but ive been into them since i saw the video for last resort on this tv show that used to be on usa network called farmclub.com, and was hosted by matt pinfield. i saw like whatttt is this, loved it. anyways so i've been on their street team for a few years now and have gotten to meet them a few times, but i never had my radio recording equipment. so the last time i saw them before the show at toads, i asked jacoby if he would do an interview for my show if i brought the stuff the next time, and he said absolutely. so this time i made sure of it, and he made good on his promise. after a meet and greet the band had prior to the show, he brought my friend chris and i to the dressing room and did the interview. he offered us food and drink ("want a beer?") from their table, and was very cool. after the show, we went back down and jacoby made me a red bull and vodka and we all chilled and drank and had a good time. gotta love when one of yer fav band's lead singers makes u the drink. haha. it was cinco de mayo so dave the drummer had this huge sombrero on. such an awesome night.

non-music:
i have met many athletes. i am a diehard minnesota twin fan. yes, im from connecticut. no connection to minnesota whatsoever. the deal is the twins' double-a affiliate is the new britain rock cats, about 20 mins from my house. from 1995-98 or 99 i went to the games all the time. the rock cats centerfielder was none other than torii hunter, who real quick won his 5th straight gold glove award yesterday. hes the man. we used to talk all the time after the games, very accessable. he hooked me up so much.... 2 game used bats, game used batting gloves, all kinds of signed stuff. hes the reason i still give a shit about sports. my uncle got me a few of his gameworn minor league jerseys from the rock cat team store when he was still unknown, and then one of his gameworn major league jerseys, so i have some sick stuff in my room.

other guys i met while goin to rock cat games all the time: vladimir guerrero, david ortiz, jacque jones, doug mientkiewicz, todd walker, cristian guzman, a.j. pierzynski, basically any player thats been on the twins that went through new britain.

im stopping now. i feel lucky in this regard.

[Paul Diggity]

At a local Battle of the Bands in Aspen CO, the mosh pit for the band playing after us had some kids that liked to throw things, so one guy threw a water bottle and it hit this lady that was standing in back of me in the face, so I turned around to see who had been hit, and it was freaking Melanie Griffth standing there with Antiono Banderes! I didn't talk to them, but Antiono is really short. It was pretty cool to see a celeb get hit in the face with a water bottle though...

My first day in NYC, I was shopping for some shoes and ran into Mike Dirnt of Green Day at David Z's. We talked for a moment, he was a totally cool nice fella.

I live in Atlanta. I've been around Andre 5000, Big Boi, and Sleepy Brown on many occasions. Also had my picture taken with Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz ... that has to be one of my favorites of all time. That's before he was really famous. In his indie rock rap days, you know, I like his old stuff before he sold out ... or something.

[lostntheseethru]

My brother was in the same basketball league as Master P.'s kid...He would bring his crew to the games, and got pissed when they wouldn't give his kid the ball.

[violencexgrace]

I won't talk about the ones that were on purpose, but I have a few that happened by chance.

-Driving down the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood I nearly ran over Kelly Osbourne who was running across the street with a friend to the Whisky.
-A summer or two ago my family took a trip to Hawaii. We're about to board the plane when I see Joey Lawrence and one of the younger brothers, the one that kinda looks like a duck. It was cool or whatever, but later on during the trip we went into one of the towns and three of the brothers were there (Joey, Matt, and the Duck one) getting MAULED by all these Hawaiian chicks who wanted autographs. Funny.
-My dad lives in Glendale (CA) so I'm always at this blockbuster by his place. A couple weeks ago I'm looking for something to rent when Lizzie McGuire (or Hilary Duff, whatever) walks in with one of the guys from GC. I guess one of the GC guys lives around Glendale or something. I tried not to laugh or be an asshole, but this little boy went up to Lizzie and asked for an autograph and she said no. I asked the checkout clerk about it and he said they come in every once in a while.
-My friend has a beach house in Oxnard (CA) and we were walking her dog on the beach and there's this dude on a cell phone watching this sea lion that has red tide or whatever. He turns around, still on his phone, and starts playing with my friend's dog. Woody Allen. I about died.

This one is kinda similar, not really that cool, but it trips me out: There was this Scientology high school across the street from the high school I went to. There were like three of these really punkass kids who used to skateboard all over the place, and they were the only Scientology kids who were nice to us. Last year I found out one of the punkass kids, Sonny, had started singing for From First To Last. It was seriously weird when I found out since I kept reading posts about them here.

[heytheredelilah]

You know, I was kind of intoxicated at the time, so the guy totally could have been lying and I wouldn't have known, but I [think that I] hung out with the singer of Catch 22 at a bar here in Savannah, GA. He bought me a beer. Ha ha.

I met Good Charlotte...yeah.
I met O-Town..yeah.

I wish I had better stories than that. I once met The Receiving End of Sirens... oh wait..



Once again, totally jealous.

[DroppedUrPocket]

-My dad lives in Glendale (CA) so I'm always at this blockbuster by his place. A couple weeks ago I'm looking for something to rent when Lizzie McGuire (or Hilary Duff, whatever) walks in with one of the guys from GC. I guess one of the GC guys lives around Glendale or something. I tried not to laugh or be an asshole, but this little boy went up to Lizzie and asked for an autograph and she said no. I asked the checkout clerk about it and he said they come in every once in a while.


What a dirty cunt.

[The Coalition]

Rory Felton from The Militia Group.

[xcorruptpunkx]

Your cousin was hot. Call her and tell her to make her hair natural and put some weight back on.

I've also hung out with MCR quite a few times. Once for a whole day because I won a contest to be their roadie for a Warped Tour date.

[reege]

i don't know if they are considered famous or not, but the band Brazil spent the night at my house when they were on tour W/ emery, and from first to last, last year. they drank all my liquor and beer, except for the streight edge guy.

my brother picked her up in a bar once, and i have her sn and phone number. haha.

[(joeyman)]

i've run into jason mraz (who is soooo small and geeky-looking in real life) and dane cook. not at the same time. not much to say...they were pretty normal...um...jason was eating bologna....yeahhh.

plus like a million bajillion bands, but thats wicked easy to do at warped tour. or at small clubs. one time the drummer from academy is... gave my friends some change he found on the ground. he didnt have any left for me, so he gave me a bag of trash...i didnt keep it.

[TartCart]

When did he look good?
dam homie. did you always talk this much shit?

[danielplaysbass]

one time I talked to chrisfrom nsync on the phone.

also, my friends cousin is bruce springsteen so I met him.
I interned at lookout records and met green day.

there's others too but I don't remember right now.

[Jenn23]

I met Flava Flav last December at the Clandestine afterparty/Release the Bats screening. He hung out in the bar of the Hard Rock Hotel all night. He even sang "911 Is a Joke" when the DJ played it, haha. It was crazy.

[pdiddy]

Hahaha.

but seriously, i have had some encounters with famous people:

I too have been shopping on melrose in hollywood and ran into Davey from AFI at a comic book store, and The Hanson Bros at a shoe store on the same day.

I also got stopped at the border going into canada, and tim armstrong and the rest of rancid and the distillers were stopped at the same time. one of the girls from the distellers (not Brody) asked to borrow some change to buy a soda.

also another elevator story, i was at a hotel and shared a elevator with Benji from good charlotte, he looked at me, and said "Hi, my name is Benji", i have also shared an elevator with jason marz.

and i also saw the host from amazing race, topher grace, and danny masterson all in Hollywood about a week ago

[I Miss Weezer]

I've met Piebald a few times, A New Found Glory once, Simple Plan by accident, Mike Kinsella (Owen, American Football), Jason Anderson, oh and I'm meeting Dave Attell this weekend. His apartment number is in my phone right now. That's all I can think of at the moment, too bad noone will see this since so many other people wrote something as well.

[ATDIdakota]

i met paul kornerko
lucky...

[A. Beaverhausen]

A bunch of the Eighteen Visions guys used to come into my work because they were friends with my manager but I never really had full coversations with them.

I rang up some girl from the show Laguna Beach, but I didn't know (or care) who she was because i didn't have cable at the time.

Besides these two lame ones I've been to two Blink signings and one Used signing. Both bands actually talked to me. They said more than just the typical "Hi, how you doin?"

[starcrossdlovex]

i was at a hotel and shared a elevator with Benji from good charlotte, he looked at me, and said "Hi, my name is Benji"

haha. He actually said that?

Uhm, I've met LFO (yeah, the guys who sang "Summer girls"). They were playing a charity softball game here. They probably should have made sure they were good first, the other players were even going easy with them. I was.. 10? something like that. Afterwards, they were mauled by all of us trying to get autographs, two of them (I forget their names, but all of them except rich, the prettyboy one) drew a line & called it their signature. Rich kept trying to pick up 16 year old girls, and he didn't sign anything.

haha, still in the old pop days, I met Bwitched. That girl group. They were in the mall for a performance & signing. Nothing big unless you were like 11. which i was.

& I made my whole family stay up all night when I was like 8 calling into the radio to try to win backstreet boys tickets. We still lost.

Then Brand New was doing an instore when they released Deja at Tower up here. It was basically acoustic & absolutely amazing. Jesse told us he wanted us all to go home pregnant. But it really was great. Then, I got them all to sign my deja booklet & I told Jesse I loved him & he smiled & drew a heart next to his signature. That was a great day.

I caught the 111 tour when they came by philly. I forced my brother along & as we were walking up to the pontiac (the venue) I saw nick thomas. Just sitting there eating. I started spazzing out, but I kept walking cause I'm extremely shy. I'm absolutely obsessed with him, so I was convinced I could never talk to him. My brother dragged me back & started talking to him. All of a sudden I started shaking & nick said "Don't do that". Then I was like about to cry & he said "Don't do that" haha. My 3 favorite words.
I doubt he's ever had someone like that with him. But I couldn't even stop myself from shaking. Wierdest thing of my life. I was acting like Johnny Depp was standing in front of me. But, I beat the rush for his autograph. My prized posession. Best.night.of.my.life

I don't really go to many shows. I don't know anyone else who likes the bands I do, & I don't like being there by myself. Eh, I hope I'll have more stories soon.

[whordachefs2]

hehe' I sat behind "Polly" (Rocky I-V) on an airplane once... I thought that was pretty cool!

[theclap]

this one time i was taking back bottles at a mejier for some weed and the used was there buying food and beer. we asked if they wanted to smoke but they were already high.

[ATDIdakota]

Wow, I can't believe I just read every single one of those. Some cool shit I must say. I've never met any famous actors or anything, but I've met some cool ass rockers.

Chris Dudley from UO-Nicest man alive, gave me his SN to talk to on AIM which I still do

Fight Paris-actually some of the nicest guys I've EVER met
The Junior Varsity-Asa claims I'm his father
From First to Last-Sonny likes to kiss people...but I'm to tall for his liking, which is good
Coheed-I had a doctor named Michale Todd so I gave Mike from Coheed my hospital bracelet with my docs name on it
A Change of Pace-are douchebags so making fun of them didn't feel bad
Saosin- I met Chris and Cover personally rather than a meet and greet, Cove is shy and stutters when he talks...but sings like a champ
The Bled-Darren(bass player) I know his girlfriend and because of that was on the guestlist for the Thrice-UO-Bled-Veda show in Chi town and Darren hung out with me and 2 of my friends for about 3 hours. He can't stand hardcore music...but is in the Bled, weird-o.

That's about it. Pretty fun times I might say.

[whordachefs2]

ohhh yea, i almost friggin forgot,, My uncle has been hunting a few different times on TV

[theclap]

the singer of the black dalhia murder threw a huge house party but i was all about the party sub.

[local superhero]

i was eating @ chick-fil-a one afternoon two aprils ago, and the guys in Relient K came walking in.... i felt like an ultra-lamer due to the fact that i was wearing an RK shirt at the time (they played @ the Norva the nite before). they're definitely some of the nicest guys ever, i chatted with Matt Thiessen and Matt Hoopes for awhile after they finished eating.

[CalamityRecords]

i sat on the next table to coheed when they were eating dinner and chatted a bit with claudio.

stood next to emma 'baby spice' bunton (blonde spice girl) haha.

[sparksfly]

-i literally ran into bam margera at the king of prussia mall once.

I've met Trent Reznor a few years ago in Cleveland and talked to him a few minuets, really awesome.

I talked to Montel Williams... the talk show dude.

talked to a shitload of bands and other people I can't think of at the moment.

[mewithoutCoheed]

Aside from various musicians, the most famous person who I've ever met is Pope John Paul II. He gave me his hat.

[theredline]

My wife has cut Mike Herrera's hair numerous times...

And I met Jesse Ventura on the streets of Mpls when he was governor. He was wearing a big fur coat and though that skateboarders should never be allowed downtown and that the governement shouldn't have a hand in building skateparks.

[piaffeprncess98]

When I went to LA two summers ago I saw the guy that played the fat hobbit in LOTR....his mom is a famous actress and was getting a star on the walk of fame. There was a small ceramony and he was there. I didn't believe my dad and brother at first, I was looking for the fat version of him. He was actually quite trim.I also saw Pete and Patrick from FOB walking around a mall in Norfolk before their show in April. They're not exactly huge celebrities, but that was kind of cool.

My brother saw Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey at an airport on the way to Cancun for spring break.

[mavfan321]

The mom from the Cosby Show ate at the pizza place I went to when I was like in 2nd grade...and she drove a hooptie.

[snowtires]

When I went to LA two summers ago I saw the guy that played the fat hobbit in LOTR...I want to say his name is Sean Astin...And his mom is a famous actress and was getting a star on the walk of fame. There was a small ceramony and he was there. I didn't believe my dad and brother at first, I was looking for the fat version of him. He was actually quite trim.I also saw Pete and Patrick from FOB walking around a mall in Norfolk before their show in April. They're not exactly huge celebrities, but that was kind of cool.

My brother saw Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey at an airport on the way to Cancun for spring break.

[SwedishHeat]

Me and my friends hotboxed a Mitsubishi Montero with Kenny from The Startling Line on 4/20 a few years back.

Also, I think I walked by Pete Wentz when I left school today.

[JeffyB]

Quote:

- Watched a footbal game with John Ritter (before he died) in box seats



well obviously you saw the football game with him before he died i'd hate to think you saw it with his corpse

[Don Trump]

I called Pete from Fall Out Boy on my friends phone just to tell him he sucked.

[romantic rights]

well back in 2003 we went on a cruse to the bahamas, purto rico... that area over new years, so the day that the boat landed in purto rico i was walking down the sidewalk and i see these two guys that look strangely familiar, like... i couldnt figure out who they were.... one was wearing glasses and they both had big afros... and i knew that i had seen them somewhere before, well once i got back to the boat, i went in my cabin and opened up the magazine i had brought with me and saw a picture of cedric and omar from at the drive-in/mars volta. and at that moment in time i realized that i had walked past and stared at cedric and omar.... and didnt even realize it

[andrewEP]

saw that dude at the mae/circa survive/etc. show the other night at henry fonda in LA. fuck, i love the way la sounds. dude rules.

[Stephie]

I worked backstage at Riverbend in Cincinnati Summer 2004 and one or two shows this summer and saw/met: Blink 182, the Used (twice) and Bert poked my knee and was like "you're sunburned", Taking Back Sunday, Melissa Etheridge, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey and Nick's brother, the other one in 98 degrees, Ryan Cabrera, 311, 3 Doors down, Nickleback, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Kiss (with and without makeup), Poison, Linkin Park, Less than Jake, Snoop Dogg, Korn, Evanescence, Thornley, Seether, Breaking Benjamin, 3 Days Grace, People at the '04 Warped tour, One of the guys in the Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Maroon 5, Barenaked Ladies, Alanis Morrisette, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Black Crowes (and Kate Hudson was there too), John Mellencamp, The Allman Brothers Band and the Lead singer of Papa Roach. And I was standing behind some of the Backstreet Boys in the catering line at work too. From working backstage, everyone seemed nice enough. I guess it's really hard to maintain some kind of normalcy (sp) when you're living that kind of life style. I actually had more hassle about doing my job (which was to check passes) and overall rudeness from the crew members than from the actual performers.

Then from Going to shows I've met and got autographs from Travis from Blink 182 (who was watching a band play on the side stage at a Blink show), Some of Brand New, Some of Straylight Run, Eisley, MxPx, Hidden in Plain View, New Found Glory, and some more I can't think of.

Then at a country show this summer, I was working in a section close to the stage and I was standing next to the Mayor of Cincinnati and a bunch of the Reds were there and being really obnoxious, but I guess you can do that when you're major league baseball players. Then as I was leaving that night, I saw one of them taking a piss outside of their limo. I laughed, but my friend was freaking out because she loved this guy and she was watching him pee. haha.

[PaperclipAnemia]

i have a birthday card signed by ozzie smith and willie mcgee. a picture was also taken to commemorate this meeting.

[OveratedMag]

I've met Jared Leto a few times when his band has came to town. I always thought he'd be a complete asshole, but he's not. Complete opposite. Very nice guy, very flirtatious. He sure has some purty blue eyes that pretty much steal your soul if he stares into your eyes.

I've met tons and tons of musicians none of whom I'd consider really "famous" but a few of my favorites stories:

- Running into Fenix Tx & Blink 182 back in a truck stop after a show in 2000. Having the drummer of fenix tx step on my shoe. It fucking hurt!

- Meeting Tim Armstrong at warped tour when I was like 14... and talking to him for over an hour. He definitely invited me to go drink some beers and hang out on the bus with him and the guys. I find this a highly amusing story. Now I wouldn't think twice. Free beer and air conditioning? But I mean at the time.. I was 14. I was a good kid. No drinking for me.

- When I graduated high school I thought it would be a really funny idea to have people in band's sign my yearbook. Partly because I didn't have too many friends back then... and partly because I thought it would be hilarious to go back and see what I listened to when I'm older. So Dicky Barrett from Mighty Mighty Bosstones signs it and writers "Dear Jill. Have fun in college. Go easy on the beer!" Yeah, I sure took that advice.

- Meeting Green Day was pretty cool. There's really no "cool" story involved. I just went to a signing and met them. Ended up running into them later that night after the show.. so heck, I didn't even have to go to the signing I guess. I figured that'd be my only shot to ever meet them.


- Going out to dinner with Reel Big Fish, The Matches, and Zebrahead back in 2003 and having Aaron bail on the check and leave it for Scott to pay. And Shawn from the matches was telling me some insane story about owning some girls soul. He showed me the piece of paper and all, hah.

- Last November Atreyu/TBS/Funeral For a Friend played two days up in Toronto. My best friend and I went both nights. One of the only things I remember from that weekend is walking onto Atreyu's bus and having Alex say to us "Want some beer? Now I only have one rule... if you're going to drink one.. you have to drink several" and we did. I vaguely remember going to some $20 rave for free... but we got weirded out by all the green lights and lack of anyone other than asians and left.

- Skate & Surf '04 in the Berkeley Carteret. My best friend and I had just stolen some beers from someone's bathroom. Hey, we had to pee.. and the beers were right there in the bathtub... "Are you stealing our beers?" "Noooooooooo" meanwhile we're stuffing them in our purses. We walked out of the room and we see Matt Watts from The Starting Line. And then something like this happens: "Uh-ohhhhh here comes trouble! What are you girls doing?" "Uh, stealing beers" "I'm calling security on you!" *runs down the hall* "Security! Security!" *runs back* "Hey, where did you score those beers from again.. can you get me one?" haha.

I remember harassing a lot of people in bands that year. Some of which I already know. Some of whom I didn't. We also met Matt Pinfield that year. He was completely wrecked and blabbing to us about something or other having to do with music. I don't remember. We got a picture... rubbed his bald head for good luck and were off.

Uhhhh I met Brad from LFO, once? hahaha.

[Nate_RAWKS]

I know Miss Universe (http://www.missuniverse.com/missuniverse/index.html) but she hasn't returned my phone calls since i slept with her and didn't call her back.

Remember that kids if you have sex with a really fine women call her the next day and tell her she was great in bed (even if she wasn't). If not you might have one of those.... "the one that got away" moments.


ok...ok.... i never slept with her, but i do know her.

[TheGoodnightMoon]

Not as cool as other people's, but cool enough for me.

-Ate sushi with Will and Nic of Cartel and the dudes from Augustana.
-Listened to the new demos with Fall Out Boy in their van 2 years ago.
-Spent the weekend at R + S' house with Hellogoodbye and Morning Call.
-Had VIP passes to the DTR Invasion tour, met all the bands.
-Talked to Dan of Story of The Year for a good 10 minutes back when they were just opening for Goldfinger and no one knew their songs.
-I'm friends with Hidden In Plain View, so I see them often.

Again, not as cool as meeting movie stars and such, but it's nice to meet famous people every now and then.

[fakeplasticlove]

my most recent, and most favorite, was getting to watch NIN's soundcheck in san antonio, and then getting to meet and talk to TRENT fucking REZNOR for a few mins

best few mins of my life, damnit

oh and the show was fucking awesome

[avitabully]

i went to an open bar party put on by jon stewart and had black russians all night. i got to talk to him, ed helms, rob cordry, joe lieberman, wolf blitzer, chris matthews, who sucks, and i saw bill o'reilly and was glad he didnt come closer to me because i didnt want anything to stop the spin zone i was in


i also stole a cops hat that night and i still have it, wahoo

[sparksfly]

Me and my friends hotboxed a Mitsubishi Montero with Kenny from The Startling Line on 4/20 a few years back.

if you're from philly or horsham...psh. who hasn't smoked with kenny? that's like a girl saying she made out with him. hahaha.

....i haven't, though. i'm not from horsham. :)

[Boring Pop Song]

played pool with anthony green.

met will smith.

i'm playing a show with HIPV, not that they are celebs. but that's good enough for me

[Ancora]

i got into a fight with hillary swank at the ritz in dc...i was drinking a beer and she ran into me. i spilled all over myself and started cursing her off. she yelled, "do you know who i am?" and i said, " yeah the bitch thats buying me another drink". she took offense to that and started screaming for security. i told the man what she did and how shes a rightous whore....believe it or not, they asked her to leave and got me wasted

[white_emo_punk]

i met billy idol in the detriot airports first class lounge last july. awesome guy.

[shredder]

Backstage at a Paul McCartney show and I go to school with Danny Rubin, who was in the movie "Freaky Friday".

[gobblox is...]

I listened to three Hanson CDs yesterday. They're so underappreciated, it's not even funny. They make better music than a lot of the bands talked about on this site.
very much agreed. their newest one is awesome and i just listented to it the other day, im going to see them when they come to milwaukee, which is the day before the fusion tour

[reege]

i met billy idol in the detriot airports first class lounge last july. awesome guy.


did he assist you in playing a song over an airplane loud-speaker to win back the love of your life before she marries some asshole and her name changes to some hilarious rhyming joke????

[soulineyes]

lets see I saw switchfoot in the airport at 430 am
saw nicholas cage a few weeks ago in LA

[SwedishHeat]

....i haven't, though. i'm not from horsham. :)


No, it was in Chico. . . California. It was his first 4/20 . . . or so he said. ;)

[Tom Da Bomb]

i had a life changin experience when i met Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker at a concert 5 years ago. Mark gave me a high five, and then Travis let me in on a Blunt with him and some guys. The nicest guys in the world. I also met Tom Delonge at a Box Car Racer show, when they toured with H20 and The Used. He signed a t-shirt, but i turned around and sold it for 150 bucks to a hot girl, i then saw her boobs...it wasnt worth it :( but the boobs were nice. eatin dinner with the guys from spitalfield was cool, then we got to open for them and hawthorne heights. thats about it tho...pathetic that i havnt actually met a celebrity, they dont exsit in my mind. but seeing and meeting is beliving.

[onefallenhero]

I worked at a hotel in Tucson. Snoop Dogg had a show. I said what's up and he replyed. "Sup Foo!" He is tall.

[prozac mnms]

I was walking down the street and I passed this couple and was just walking right in front of them. I wasn't really paying attention until I thought that the woman sounded a lot like Amy Poehler. Jokingly I thought to myself, "What if that is Amy Poehler and her husband right behind me?" (She's married to Will Arnett, Gob on Arrested Development.) Then I heard the guy speak and he sounded just like Will Arnett (and I kept calling him "Gob" in my mind cause I didn't know his real name). So by this time I'm really curious to see whether or not it was them so I slowed down and moved over to the side. They passed me and I looked up and it was Amy Poehler and Will Arnett. I almost had a heart attack, cause I love Arrested Development.

I also just saw Sandra Bernhardt today.

[Homesick]

[aircourtneys]

I was in New Zealand in Auckland in the tower for dinner there and its this revolving thing, it's pretty cool, anyways while we were sitting waiting we were near this table and the whole Yellowcard crew was there, that was pretty neat.

[watashi-revenge]

Drove Jordan and Ian from NFG as well as Steve Looker to a nearby Carls Jr. after a show, it was closed...went to Jack In the Box where they promptly closed as we waited in the Drive Thru. Sucked for them.

[jerzeyboy13]

i met tim armstrong after the first transplants tour and when i gavehim a handshake goodbye he slipped me his pick.

[KidLightning]

i also forgot that i almost sold aj from the backstreet boys a pair of leather pants when i worked at the gap in high school...he needed some stuff for this fashion show around the corner and he ran in with his fat ass bodyguard but didn't end up buying them, that asshole

[kittypants]

i met president bush and tom delay.



i knew that would piss you guys off...

[aZn_BallA1024]

[tinywhitelights]

I met Karl Rove and Dubya this summer... Karl Rove was actually really nice and funny and told my 13 year old brother that he liked his lime-green shirt. When I met Dubya, I got my pic taken with him, he shook my hand, and then started to walk away, but after getting like 3 steps away from me, he stopped short, looked back at me over his shoulder, shot me this sly-ass look, and said, "You. You behave yourself."
The fucking President said this to me. Absolutely most bizarre shit ever.

[TSLpunk182]

Last year about this time at a mall i was getting on an elevator with my ex and when the door was about to close, Chad Johnson (WR for the Cincinnati Bengals) ran in and I was stunned.... I'm a die hard Bengals fan even through the really hard years. But I talked to him for the short trip down to the parking garge and shook his hand. He's a really nice and a really funny guy. Bengals 6-2.. it's about fucking time WHO DEY?!!!!

[weezer182]

i met barry bonds at a san jose sharks hockey game a long time ago and he was actually really nice. he waved bye to me when he left, before the game was over

[thejetstolehome]

i met Straylight Run when they played here (hofstra) that's about it...oh yea and i served ice cream to bobby bonilla (played for mets, pirates, orioles...)

[grnweenieag]

I literally ran into Mia Hamm at a Cubs game over the summer and got to go on George Jones' tour bus with my dad so they could have a cup of coffee together....no shit. Too bad I was 12 and didnt really care that much. Oh yeah....and I sat across from Barak Obama at lunch when I was working on his campaign.

[Hobby]

I met Michio Kaku at an airport (doubt any of you have heard of him.) I've also seen Barry White at an airport, heh. Airports are a great way to see famous public figures. Music-wise I've only had the chance to talk to Colin (bassist for Circa Survive) and Anthony Green.

[9mmREGRET]

i went to high school with josh beckett (pitcher for the florida marlins) :D

[EastWestRock]

thank you frank for making me famous.
this gave me a very good laugh.

[chikbassplyr]

OMG... this one time, at band camp... I was just standing there talking to my friend and I turned around and I couldn't believe I was standing back to back with... you're never gonna believe this... ADAM WEISER!!! He's my hero <3

[youareadouche]

i played basketball with jim mcmahon in jr. high, because my coach was the ex. equiptment manager for the bears. he was kind of a dick

[Newairrecords]

One time, I met LL Cool J in a hospital waiting room. Another time, after Fall Out Boy got signed to Island/Def Jam, at their concert I went to the bathroom and proudly stood next to Jay-Z at the urinal. Also, I had dinner with Good Charlotte.

[siimpx]

i hung out with samuel l. jackson at a golf tournament once. he is the shit.

i literally ran into tiger woods on the same day. & then i freaked out & kept walking.

sat next to that singer mario (flying coach!) on a flight from atlanta

after nft we drove dirty & korean tom cruise to meet up with the starting line at the strip club. but we only stayed like three seconds because they are all nasty

[thefashionfocus]

I was in a band with Ryan Key (not too proud) and Scott Shad (ex-Inspection 12, RIP). Probably met some people too, but noone worth remembering.

[EamonKid]

I met Ron Jeremy in a bar. He was pretty cool. He fucked a girl in the bathroom, no lie. Have a picture with him and an autograph, it was sweet.

[closer]

Run Over

Not Ran Over

[ooklahthepunk]

i was surfing in malibu a couple of years ago and i looked over and saw adam sandler in the waves next to me. talked to him for a couple of minutes. really cool dude.


that's funny... my two friends got to meet adam sandler when they were surfing too. i guess it was when he was filming 50 first dates cause those 2 guys that are in all of his movies were there too. and then one of my friends got to meet paul frickin walker in the water too!

why not me??

[Ms.Jinx22]

I got to meet Katie Couric she shops in my store when she's home. Mary Tyler Moore lives in the next town over and I ran into her when i was little going into the grocery store, she's a total bitch no one likes her around here.I went to hs with the kid from Jurassic Park the red haired one no one liked him and they used to throw dirt and rocks in his locker and make dinosaur noises when he walked down the hall he also came to school in a limo while everyone else took the bus. Music wise. I chatted with Ryan (the bassist) of Matchbook Romance they live near me, Andy's mom was my best friends Englsh teacher in Hs. I've met Finch twice the last time my friend was a little drunk and started telling them how much they sucked so nate ran on the bus and Randy got the other bands to try and beat him up. I've met GC twice and Benji and Billy were the nicest. Hung out with The Black Maria really cool and funny guys I tried to trade shoes with the lead singer cuz he had really cool misfits shoes. I've met The Used very cool and nice guys, My friend stalked Jeph around our mall. I was in Boston to see the Dropkick Murphy's St. Paddy Day show and we were walking around Fenway near the venue. When I see 2 guys that look familular. It was Matt their drummer and Ken their Bassist. I told my best friend and she went chasing them down the street for me and we got to talk to them. They were really late for soundcheck and stood and talk to me and my friends for 10, 15 minutes. It was cool.

[aloneatlastnj]

on some random trips to Red Bank i've bumped into 'Jay' and good ol' 'Silent Bob' aka Kevin Smith himself.

Kane Hodder(the stuntman for Jason in the Friday the 13th movies, not the band) is a great family friend.

Sunday - ran into Pete from Over It at Tower Records on South Street. same day, ran into Mike Herrera from MXPX on South Street eating in Jim's Steaks.

good times.

[nofx33]

i met Gangrell and "The Brood"

[jake_03583]

I used to work at a western themed amusement and water park (no joke, cowboys and waterslides all up in northern NH) and Mic Foley (aka Mankind) came for a couple visits. I sent him and his girls down the raft waterslide a bunch of times...He's fucking huge. He looks tiny next to all the other guys on tv...but when you stand next to him...he's friggin massive. I tried to harrass him for a autograph but i got denied by his wife... i think that they were having a bad day because it happened to be the same day the little league baseball team that the park sponsored was there. SO needless to say, mr. foley spent most of his day being harrassed by 10 year old instead of enjoying his family.

Oh yeah, also i pretty much almost run over Bode Miller (US olympic alpine skiing gold hopeful) everyday when i drive home from work. He lives like 3 minutes away from me. One time he almost ran over me and my friend jimmy at Canon mtn. He's not really a jerk that tried to run us over...we just happened to be unavoidable since we were in a heap at the bottom of the lift. Luckily we scrambled to saftey and watied for him to go on a different slope than us. We tried to avoid the embarresment of the amateurish mistake of falling at the end of a lift being notice too much but an olympic team member...hah im awesome.

[streetcar]

I drank orange pekoe tea with Tom delonge and some reporter from channel 9 news around my way (DC)

[mickmadethelist]

Aside from bands on this site... I met Bo Diddley and Dee Snider

[weworemasks]

i forgot 2 tight ass stories.

i was in austin on 6th street for mardi gras 05, and i saw a drunk flava flav trying to start fights with common folk for money. i tried starting a fight with him. im fucking dead serious.

and me and some friends slept at one of my friends cousins house, and D'ARCY from smashing pumpkins was sleeping there. she smells so lovely.

[earlynovemberX]

i hooked up with a girl that dated dennis the menace. does that count?

[mavfan321]

i saw thursday in 2002 at Toad's place and i pissed next to Geoff.

i saw spitalfield at Webster theatre when they played with Gratitude recently and i smoked a cig with dan from sptlfld. and jonah hugged me

Schyular from He Is Legend bummed a cigarette off me, and my band is opening for Gratitude this Saturday in Brooklyn.

[atticus_timmah]

SOme kick ass stories.

Umm Simple PLan came out to my side of the world, and i was teching for the opening band.

So we got to watch their soudcheck and say hey to us and stuff.

Shook the bassists hand, and he told us Avril Lavigne was a bitch lol

[Peter Parker]

How did Puff Daddy and Missy Elliot change his life...

[piaffeprncess98]

i got into a fight with hillary swank at the ritz in dc...i was drinking a beer and she ran into me. i spilled all over myself and started cursing her off. she yelled, "do you know who i am?" and i said, " yeah the bitch thats buying me another drink". she took offense to that and started screaming for security. i told the man what she did and how shes a rightous whore....believe it or not, they asked her to leave and got me wasted
Man, I hate it when celebrities try to use that excuse, "Don't you know who I am?". Good for you for saying that. They really have no right to say that, esp. in a public place.

[HBK42581]

Topher Grace bought a portable DVD player from me at my Best Buy in Massachusetts. Totally random but I've also run into the guys from Anberlin, Dropkick Murphy's and Good Charlotte (all seperate occasions) in there too which is even more random considering that the store I work at is in a total suburb of Mass and not really 'on the way' to anywhere.

[jeremyfromva]

I had dinner with Matthew Broderick and Roger Bart (desperate housewives) in 2003 when I saw The Producers on broadway

[THEAlkalineTrio]

a couple of years ago, when i was like 10... my neighbor across the street is Danny Masterson and Chris Masterson's grandparents... so one day, my sister and i see Danny get out of the car... so we walked over and met him...quite the experience.. and this was way before that 70's show came on. otherwise i've met some celebs at signings and such.

[Joolez82]

over the summer I was on a plane out to LA from NY and the great, bob saget, sat in the next row in first class. We talked about all of the intros to america's funiest home videos and he told me how he hated that job. He had his drink, and then a few minutes later he was like, "I took a bunch of pills before takeoff, so now im gonna go to sleep," and slept the rest of the flight.
hahaha that's great

[sparksfly]

i live in the same neighborhood as the drummer from the bloodhound gang. i have no idea what he looks like so i could have very well seen him around and not known it.

[splatoutofluck]

i was a military brat growing up. we lived in calcutta, india when i was a weee lad, and my mom volunteered at one of mother theresa's orphanages. my momma took me into meet her one day, and she blessed me and gave my family a bag of rosarys that she had blessed too.

[Beyondclarity]

At a mexican restaurant i met Ice T and his posse a few years back. And around the same time I rode in an elevator with Morgan Fairchild - Damn shes fine even at the tender age of 108!

[ntingley]

i got to meet andy wildrick of the junior varsity and all of the members of race the sun and what not..cool stuff i love meeting my favorite bands

[bossman calling]

I was at a bar once and Kris Roe bought me a pint of Guinness. Then I looked behind us and Taylor Hawkins from the Foo Fighters was sitting there eating wings and drinking beer and then Travis Barker and Tim Armstrong walked in.

All explained by the fact that the Ataris had just played at a club down the street and the Foo Fighters and the Transplants were playing a show the next night in town and were off that night.

I've also met Madeline Albright and General Wesley Clark.

And I've seen those idiots from Good Charlotte in the mall before, but they don't count.

i live in the same neighborhood as the drummer from the bloodhound gang. i have no idea what he looks like so i could have very well seen him around and not known it.
ahhh willie!! he's very plain looking actually...rather on the white trash side i guess. i'm sure that narrows it down in suburban pa.

[heytheredelilah]

Not as cool as other people's, but cool enough for me.

-Ate sushi with Will and Nic of Cartel and the dudes from Augustana.
-Listened to the new demos with Fall Out Boy in their van 2 years ago.
-Spent the weekend at R + S' house with Hellogoodbye and Morning Call.
-Had VIP passes to the DTR Invasion tour, met all the bands.
-Talked to Dan of Story of The Year for a good 10 minutes back when they were just opening for Goldfinger and no one knew their songs.
-I'm friends with Hidden In Plain View, so I see them often.

Again, not as cool as meeting movie stars and such, but it's nice to meet famous people every now and then.
i see joe EVERYWHERE tell him to stop stalking me!

no i'm kidding.

but i do see him everywhere!?

[MikeAL4W]

I partied with one of the kids from Mystic River, I forget his name but he gave some of us beers so we told him we were gonna sell that shit. But we actually just drank em. Keepin it real in Boston muthafucka. Oh and my junior high had like a helper-teacher guy who played for the bengals but sucked... Ive also met Terry Glenn formerly of the Patriots. But most importantly I've met Mike from A Loss For Words, and he was stunningly handsome.

[looram12]

also, I used to have aaron carter's phone number and anytime we got drunk my friends and I would prank call him, usually something having to do with me being a random guy he hooked up with last week and now I have an STD

[CarrieTheGreat]

I was in trump tower looking for a starbucks (pathetic, i know) and donald trump just walked right out of the elevator in front of me. i was honestly mowed over by camera people. (being 5'5" doesnt help)

apparently they were doing something for the apprentice?

[mikeandrews]

Dead to Fall-I got drunk with all of them and sat on a street corner with Jon(singer)at 3 in the morning while he told me drunk ass stories of the road and how BTBAM are all nerds

jon doesn't drink.

[recycledAIR]

the one and only tommy lee at the airport in chicago

[clintdaddy]

Uh i was at some club and the carter dude from the backstreet boys was there and that snow dude. they tried to kick us out of our vip section and i told the carter dude to fuck off, he's pretty short. but then they had like 10 hotties with them so we let them in

[Requiescat]

I met Marc from Rory once. He was a nice guy.
...I met Shaq outside a Rory show once.

...okay, so it was outside of the club next door... but, it was NEXT DOOR

[starsonstrings]

i met Incubus before their show in Richmond, VA last year.

and I met Dane Cook in the lobby after his show here in Charlottesville, VA back in April.

Me: Hey Dane! How's it going? I'm Brian
Dane: Brian with an "i"? or a "y"?
Me: With an "i".
Dane: Good. I didnt want to have to kick your ass.

Dane is the man.
and then i got a picture of me and him SU-FI-ing.
