Kurt Russell and Taj Mahal. Both in Aspen airport. Has to be one of the best airports in the US to run into famous people.

Kurt Russell was great. He had on a shirt that said "I'm not the real Kurt Russell"

I flew out of BTR with Edwin Edwards while he was governor. It was a favor to the company my mom and her boss had.

I had no idea who he was and shot him with a rubber band gun. flew to Costa Rica (I think) and back.

Got pretty drunk with Wayne Gretsky at an LAX bar.

Didn't know who is was for the first couple of hours and I think he enjoyed that...

Peter Buck from REM in Seattle (he went to my HS actually)

Dr. Phil's wife at DFW

Rutledge Wood from American Top Gear. Only celebrity I've spoken to. Told him I really enjoyed the show and he's a super nice guy. My cool story bro is that he and my best friend's wife grew up together. My buddy and his wife hang out with Rut and his wife all the time.

That's all I got.

My dad flew with EWE a few times to Las Vegas as hired security. I'm sure you can figure out why.

Hell, just go to the grocery store in Aspen if you want to see famous people. I was there 1 time and was in line behind Martina Navratilova.

I had a friend that lived there and he said he shopped at the more expensive grocery store because the baskets were a little bigger and you see more famous people.

must have been while shooting "The Apostle," some of the cast stayed at my house, had all of them over at one time or another



Did you go to BCHS? I remember when we got to campus one day and all the movie trailers were all over the parking lot.

You can run into famous people there just about every week. Kurt Russell is always at the hardware store and always willing to strike up a conversation.

I was at the Aspen wine festival last year and ran into Shaun White and his entourage.

DMX in the Vegas airport bar waiting for a red eye flight back to MSY.

Just last Friday Rickie Fowler and Alison Stokke were flying out of MSY, she's just as hot in person. They were flying Southwest like the rest of us poor people.

bartending on Frenchman street and in the quarter years ago, it was pretty common to see famous people. Especially when Hollywood south shite was still in effect

Flying out of Tucson a few years ago I was in the same plane as Reece Davis & Kirk Herbstreet.

They'd been in town to call the ESPN Thursday night game when #2 Oregon came into Arizona and not only lost to the Wildcats, but also lost their Hesiman candidate QB for the season. I was at the game that night and must say it was a very "different" experience than an SEC game.
