re: Who is the most famous person you've met in the "wild"?

Ate lunch with Don Knotts in Auburn in the '80's. A real gentleman.
Met and talked with Barenaked Ladies in the Cincinnati airport... Nice guys.
Folks I've run into at airports: Matt Lauer, Hulk Hogan, Rosie, Joan Jett

Evander Holyfield at the crawfish cook off couple weeks ago.

David Hasslehoff at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin.

Judd Nelson at JFK airport.
Shane Battier at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando.

Dan aykroyd. Saw him at rouses on tchop, but it's a different story.

I was there shopping, saw him roaming an aisle without any basket or cart. I was kind of taken aback that it was him, and it evidently showed on my face because he looked at me in a similar way. Mocking me I suppose. So I said "hi, my name's ____. Love your movies" shook his hand and walked off.

As it turns out he was there signing those skull vodka bottles, I noticed a guy in a ghostbusters outfit a minute later and thought it was just serendipity. Then I saw the sign for the autographs.

Technically there for a signing, but for me it was the "wild" as you say.

I can't go into detail about the circumstances but I've hung out with Tom Hardy.

In the "wild" I would say Larry Czonka, when he was fishing on Baranof Island.

On the street, probably Dick Cheney or Mel Gibson. Gibson used to own some land on Douglas Island and come here every summer. Juneau gets alot of superyachts in the summer, so we see lots of celebs on the street

Bartended in college at a nice course and met a lot of pro athletes. My favorite story was with joe horn. He came to play one day with group of guys and they were wearing street clothes. He proceeds to buy everyone clothes and clubs so they can play. He bought a tour style titleist bag for himself, took a sharpie from the pro shop, and wrote "ni**a woods" on it. I'll try to track down the sous chefs email and see if he still has the pics he took with us and the bag.

Have a few CSBs.

Hung out with Travis from Gym Class Heroes when he was dating this new singer named Katy Perry. (He showed me nudes on his phone, really.) They were doing a show at the Spanish Moon when Cupid's Choke-hold JUST hit #1 on Billboard. He was talking about how he wanted to cheat on Katy with "Izzy" from Grey's anatomy. (Katherine Heigl) Awesome guy, he was bad off on pills at that point though, was kinda sad.

Sat next to Lil' Wayne and Birdman flying into NOLA from Miami, yes they flew commercial, and no they didn't say shite to anyone, but Birdman did take pictures with whoever asked. Joe Addai was also on the same flight, but not with them. He was really, really nice apparently and talked to my brother the whole flight.

Talked to Big Baby a few times during the lockout, he is a lot smarter than I realized. People may not realize he has a pretty awesome charity foundation.

Went to some of the Miss USA contestant activities, those girls are all certifiable.

Ran into Sean Peyton in the VIP area of L'Auberge a few times, he's a prick when he's drunk.

Had drinks with the exec producer of Dallas Buyer's club and got to see 15 minutes of the movie before it came out. By far the richest person in this list.

Anna Kendrick bought me a drink a few weeks ago. (My favorite of them all.)

I played poker with Joe a few times, that dude is quiet as shite at the poker table, but about once a night he just cracks the funniest damn joke you've ever heard.
