Mike Gordon stole my GF on a golf cart on a Phish lot in the 90's, and it was my birthday.

One time I check into a hotel room in Canon City, Colorado. When I got to the room it had a little plaque that said “John Wayne stayed in this room during the filming of (some movie)”.

That’s all I’ve got….

While I got to meet a lot of celebrities, the first drink I made for a member when I got to Montana was for Melinda Gates. I'd have hit on her but she had a man :(

I'm friends with Michele Shocked's dad, and his son was in Uncle Tupelo and Wilco. Went to his house last night for a hootenany.

I once waited on the chick Brittany from Clueless. I can’t remember her last name. She was tiny and frail and kept touching my arm. She does about a year or so later.

My dad was in the navy and friends with grace kellys brother. He spent the weekend at his house and met his little sister who was not famous back then. Also one of my ex girlfriends went to college at Colorado and was John Elways
Babysitter for his kids .(said he was a very nice person).

Elon gave me a tour of Gigafactory when I was doing my first IE review for Tesla. That was pretty cool.

Most famous person i ever saw or have been around- and i still cant believe it b/c he’s such an icon- is Dick Freaking Van Dyke…. I was in a hotel lobby in Santa Monica and he strolls in with a buddy after a tennis match.. dressed in whites from head to toe and carrying a racquet.. but he looked like he just climbed out of a tv set, it was wild .


He was doing a charity benefit in Hot Springs the same weekend I was there for my cousin's wedding. The next morning I'm in line at the Embassy Suites breakfast buffet. I glance over and there he is patiently waiting for them to put out more biscuits. So I've never met him but I did stand next to him.

In the sports world many.
In business a few but not famous in the same way.
In Hollywood really none.
In politics a bunch regionally and a couple nationally.
One international (dads roomate in college)

Sat by Mitchell Robinson at a basketball game, met PJ Brown at a football game, saw Ronnie Lamarque at a baseball game

Shook Tom Benson’s hand once, think I shook Ron Paul’s once too. Don’t know if small parish politicians count as famous but the parish president knows me. Think the superintendent of schools knows me too

I’ve seen wrestlers too but that was in the context of a wrestling show so don’t think that counts
