Close Encounters With The Famous Kind.

I've seen many very famous people. Prince Andrew a few times, Sir David Attenborough came to my school. When I was younger I bet a famous illustrator who drew a lot like Quentin Blake, can't remember his name... I've met quite a few other authors. I've seen the ex-Chelsea Player Arjen Robben many times as he lived next to my grandad up until recently, when he transferred he moved almost straight away to Spain. I've also seen Ian Wright (ex-football, now appears on TV a lot) quite a lot as his son goes to my school.

I met Mike Hart at a party at the University of Michigan. He was bumpin' and grindin' with some chicks. I talked to his friend and asked if that was him (it was dark), and he gave some lame name and tried to cover it up. I got closer and it was definitely Mike Hart. Him and Alan Branch (i think) were at Chi Phi during welcome week. It was awesome.

Everybody lovin' it, but ain't no body touchin' it

I have met Indiana Jones, Ender Wiggin, and Luke Skywalker.

I met, shook hands, and talked with Doug Mientkiewicz (New York Yankees 1st Basemen), Julio Lugo (Boston Red Sox Shortstop), Kevin Youkilis (Boston Red Sox Third Basemen), Joba Chamberlain (New York Yankees Pitcher), and Dustin Pedroia (Boston Red Sox 2nd Basemen).

 

 

 

All at the 9/25 Red Sox vs. Yankees game :D

 

 

 

EDIT: Oh, I also met Dennis Eckersley (Baseball Hall-Of-Famer) once and see him a lot, as he lives in my town and goes to my local supermarket a lot :)

I met Sway (UK garage artist), Amerie, Kano (UK Garage Artist), Nathan (some Uk guy again), Jazzy Jeff, Some loser from Busted asked me for my number, some other loser from Blue who got a pair of toy binoculars thrown at him in which he proceeded to cry, Harry Hill, Minty from Eastenders, Stingray from Neighbours, bare other rock bands but I don't know who they were. I am strictly reggae, rock does not agree with me. Yeah I meet basically Z-list.

Well, Ive met Lance Armstrong in a drugstore before, he was in line in front of us and the clerk was amazed when she read his credit card. Ive also met Neil Armstrong at the party for the naming of a building after him at Purdue university. I also saw Keith Richards at a restaurant in Toronto once.

I lived next door to Matt Damon's mom until I was 10.

 

 

 

He visited sometimes, so they had to build a high wooden fence to keep out reporters, but she (the mom) taught me how to get into their yard because she was cool =)

Wooow, where'd you get to meet them at?

 

 

 

 

 

Last year my friend was visiting from another state, so he had to fly back home and in the airport, up walks Franco Harris (the Legendary Steeler). It turns out that he was riding on the same plane as my friend, and once they got off the flight my friend got Franco's autograph on his plane ticket :XD: .

 

And i'm good friends with Aaron Smith of the Steelers, got my 360 from him back a month after they came out. Really nice guy.

Sadly, it was back in the mid 90's when he was having a lot of trouble with his cancer (ironically, T-Cell cancer) so he wasn't wearing any gold and looked considerably older than he does now.

 

 

 

I should also mention that Chandra West stole my taxi in San Diego 4 years ago. I'd be offended, if she wasn't so hot. I mean, the queen of B-movies!

My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley

Met a few other semi-famous people in Scotland too, like Di ck Campbell who came into my work the other day.
