I have questions about every single person on that list...!!!


Well...my cousin is MC Shan (The Bridge, Jane Stop This Crazy Thing..*Cold Chillin' Records) (produced "Informer" by Snow).

One of those artists (the one that died) from the Force MD'S used 2 come 2 our house and chat with my dad. (I was like 4 or 5 then..).

I met Pharrell (Neptunes) at the show. I just shook his hand and said What's up. That's it!


Oooh.


I saw Eve at my Sam Goody when i worked there.. She was very little, and seemed very tired. She had all these ghetto people surrounding her. She looked like a little girl.

Oh yeah..

and R. Kelly. He was shopping for CD's at Sam Goody. He had braids and a yellow shirt. he was with a friend. He didnt look that bad in person.


My brother met Fabulous backstage and said he is really skinny, and quiet.

Guitar?

VinaBlue said:

No, these happened when I was in the band in college. Depending on which act it was, I was either playing the alto sax or performing as the Drum Major. It's a big thing at HBCU's to have celebrities perform with you at important games.

Luda gets his hair braided the same place I used to. I didn't realize he was as short as he was...not to say he's a midget or anything, but I thought he was at least 6 feet.

xpsiter said:

Yeah he is doing alright. His daughter died a year or 2 ago, i never met her though. I spoke 2 him and he said he had 2 move out from NY because it wasa 'garbage' as he put it (although i love it no matter what).

His son is doing graphic design and had an offering for me 2 live out there with him for a couple momnths..but it never happened..

Anyway..the first time i remember him was when he threw a party at our apt. in Staten Island...i gues 2 promote "Jane Stop This Crazy Thing". He had given us a autographed copy..i still remember it saying "to Isaiah and Toussaint, I Love You".

Wow.....you met...Jackie "the Jokeman" Martling! Where...how? Where was Robin?

Despite all the political arguements, I used to think you were a good guy but now you suck.

My list:

He-Man, Hordac and Barbie at this Mattel Chirstmas promotion at the mall in the mid eighites.

I saw Adam West through the window of Blockbuster when me and my mom went to go get his signature in the mid-eighties. He was there for the video release (or rerelease) of "Batman the movie" to capatlize on the big "Batman" movie the same year! Anyway, my mom told me that it wasn't the "Batman" in the big movie, it was the one that had a tv show. Well, I didn't even meet Adam West!

Nothing! I got nothing!

.

here is one for ya:

met the one and only

Bill Murray!

---the kicker was that it was at Glam Slam (MPLS)

we were chillin at the bar near closing time, and it was pretty dead. next thing you know he appears next to us with 2 incredibly hot chicks (another one showed up a few minutes later.)

Just my girl and i hangin' with Bill and 3 other hot chicks.
he ended up buying us a couple drinks.

definitly the most surreal of moments. especially because he would probably be the last person i would expect to see at Glam Slam.
