Famous maybe for just Louisiana. I've met Miles. Sat next to Laron Landry on an airplane and just shot the shite about LSU football. Met Governor Edwards. Met Archie Manning, Duece McCallister, and Juvenile at a restaurant I worked at a long time ago.

I tried to meet Jimmy Buffet when I saw him randomly at HOB, but his security guy blocked me.

Adriana Lima & Selina Ebanks.... they both had towels wrapped around their heads at the airport but you could still see the big crusty scab on Ebanks lip. They sure smelled good tho. It's in their contract that they have to be nice to people in public.

I’d trade meeting the athletes and would rather meet people from the music industry. Just had more opportunities when I was younger to be around athletes because of family friends.

I went to IMG for high school. Seeing professional athletes was a daily routine. I got to play knock out with Vince Carter as a 16 year old (He played from 3pt line). Played golf with Freddy Adu when he was relevant. Went to Maria Sharapova’s 18th Bday pool party a year after she won Wimbledon.
Peter Uhlien was a friend
Paula Creamer is still a friend

musicians are fun, but usually drunk. comedians are the best. actors are remarkably plain looking in person, but when they turn on the charisma, you're like...

OHHH, i get it.
