I always heard he studied graphics and had a big part of crafting PE's sleeve art.

I forgot about meeting Scottie Pippen twice. The first time was at a club in Chicago. My brother was a bouncer/promoter and his girlfriend worked there also. He was in the VIP lounge and I went over to speak while my brother's girlfriend was serving him. He was a total dick and a bad tipper.

I met him again years later when I worked at Montgomery Ward. We sponsored the Bulls and he came to sign autographs. We'd catered a beautiful set-up with foods that we knew he liked. He came in and acted like he was so inconvenienced. After the signing he wouldn't even touch the food we'd spent hundreds of dollars to set up for him. He snubbed his nose at the food and walked out the service door with a towel over his head. Good for us, though...we got to eat it!

My live face to face is Gene Simmons... We chatted, he liked that our shirts were the same color, he hugged me, I got pictures! He really is a HUGE flirt!

You should have heard him on the mic when he was DJ-ing parties or on our college radio station. Dude was ahead of his time. You'd get a history lesson while shaking your ass on the dance floor.

I met Dr. J once, in 1976. It was a Rockets - 76ers playoff game. Back in those days, if you got there early enough and had the stones, you could sit on the floor, under the basket.

Which is what I did, for the sole purpose of shaking Dr. J's hand at half-time.

When he came back to the bench, I walked up behind him and said, "Dr. J! Dr. J!" I wanted to shake his hand.

He never even looked up, he just held up his fist, like "Right on".

I grabbed his fist, shook it, and said "Good luck!"

I was SUCH a goober.

I've met Sheila E. a few times after concerts. She's never been particularly warm, but whatever.

I interviewed Mary Higgins Clark and spent a good part of the day at her house. She was great and had these delightful little finger sandwiches brought in during the middle.

Anne Rice was really nice and open; very cool.

I went to the same college and lived in the same dorm as Kurt Warner, so I met him, but I can't really say I knew him.

Oh, and I had a really fun time talking to Heidi Fleiss once.

I would've expected differently.

Cuz you can hear that shit right??
It was just like on tv.

johnart said:

Actually, she was fine. Maybe I should just say that she was guarded or shy or something like that. The last time I met her, though, was at the La Va Lee concert she did with Wendy and Lisa in L.A. My friends were a little taken aback by her, because she was, let's say standoffish, but again, maybe she was just being cautious. I met W&L there too and they were awesome--couldn't have been friendlier.

Or maybe I look like a pyscho and I just scare Sheila.

You know I was trynna be nice by not posting "maybe it was you", but since you brought it up.

I think they gravitated together because of their similiar celebrity status We were actually all on the same plane

I just remembered on the same trip we saw, wait for it, the man who sucked Fergie's toes

and I dont mean Alex Ferguson or The Black eyed peas girlie toes but the Duchess

Fuck me that is star spotting of the highest caliber (I think his name was Johhny Bryan or something the autographed napkin I have is a bit creased, well it was '96 but I think that's what it says )

I can't see anybody else coming up with celebrities of this calibre


unless your mcmeekle this makes no sense whatsoever edit

Yeah, it was really just Brian Eno.
