We saw Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton while we were in LA for the championship game a couple of years ago.

Probably Ali (1980)...kissed my sister on the cheek when she was little since we sent her over to get his autograph in LAX.

He stood up in the galley on the plane flight to NY and entertained all the guys telling stories the whole flight.

But I also saw ol' George Foreman on a flight in 1995 in 1st class wearing sweats and shades...he was quite fat...so, that would be the biggest.

And Clint Eastwood because I went to school with his daughter. But he's just tall.

Had beers with Jimmy Page. This was in the early 80's when he was in the Firm. They were playing in New Orleans @ The UNO Lakefront Arena.

I worked in a record store at the time at we found out that Page would be in the Quarter the Night before the show.

A buddy and I went to the Quarter looking for him. (fat chance of finding him I know).

Well we had given up hope of seeing him and we were walking back to the car, when we passed some hole-in-the wall bar on some side street. as we passed by the entrance, we both glanced in, and I'll be damned if there wasn't this tall lanky guy, dressed in all white with a scarf around his neck, leaning on the bar. We both froze and looked at each other, like "that's HIM"!

We went in and were able to talk to him for about an hour or so. It was really hard to understand him. He was trashed. Couple that with a heavy British accent, and the music in the bar, it was tough.

The coolest thing was when he went off for a bit,(we're thinking he ditched us) then comes back bringing us beers!!!!!!!!! Freaking Jimmy Page bought me beers! Then some Rod Stewart song was playing in the bar, and guitar part was playing when Page made that "Jimmy Page Guitar God" face that he makes.

That was a pretty cool night.

Hung out in the same suite for a saints game as Dustin Hoffman, Cliff Curtis, John Cusack. Spoke with all 3 too. Was a huge fan of Cusack at the time. Pretty star struck from Hoffman too.
They were taping Runaway Jury.

I sat next to Wilford Brimely on an airplane to San Antonio, talked about fishing a little bit then he fell asleep.

Yeah, I know it's not a huge celebrity (so to speak) but it was pretty cool at the time.
