when i was 10 or 11, i ate dinner at Atlanta Fulton County stadium with all the players in the Old Timers Game, which included about a dozen Hall of Famers. Johnny Mize, Lou Boudreau, Rico Carty, Phil Niekro, Eddie Matthews, Enos Slaughter, Ernie Banks, Bob Gibson, Luke Appling, Bob Feller, Hoyt Wilhelm, Billy Williams, Willie Stargell. of course i had no idea who these old dudes were at the time, but did manage to get a baseball signed by all of them.

I see where you are going now. I had an inkling before but now I'm sure of it. Well played. 😀

And yes, yes it was.
 
Saw a few
Most recently saw Alec Baldwin casually strolling on the sidewalk in NYC walking his dog near union station
Saw Dikembe Mutumbo at a rail station in Philly
 
If you have ever seen " A Bronx Tale" you have heard my cousins sing the opening song. While they were filming in New York, I got to go on set and meet Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci. Both were super cool.


Peace

i was a food runner at a nice restaurant called Aquagrill.

i saw Ed Koch, served one of the Wayans brothers, served David Lee Roth while he was wearing a cast on his arm, Tom Brokaw - who happened to be sitting at the table next to Ed Koch, but they weren't facing each other. we were close to a modeling agency and some of the girls that came in were probably almost famous models.

randomly saw david lee roth a second time just walking around in the city.
 
When I was young I saw Kennedy and his son walk out to a helicopter and take off from the white house.

I touched the King of Thailand's shoes

I got The Carpenters autographs waiting out side Wolftrap with my brother after a show.

During the set up of Christmas In Washington at the Pension building I was a couple feet next to Jimmy Stewart and Ann-Margret

While eating breakfast parked on a mall side street Bill Clinton jogged right past me all by himself with the SS and an entourage of vehicles about hundred feet behind. I saw this coming for a couple of blocks. I could of jumped out, really stupid imo. I saw him again at the corner of 15th and constitution while sitting at a red light he came up jogging again the the SS way behind, no one else seemed to notice him it was weird, and scary.

Oh and Sugar Ray Leonard buy lawn chairs at Hechingers in Bethesda

I don't know names. I could tell that he was from Anandtech because he carried him self with a ton of confidence. 🙂
 
not a lot to be honest.

most memorable was Steve-O being on the same flight as me, and the flight was delayed for 10-15 hours...

one of the most miserable flight delays ever....but nowhere near the top D:

You touched the king's shoes? Wow. Were you the only foreigner? How did other Thai people react? They love their king. When you walk around Thailand every building seems to have the king's picture.
 
Yes i have. But all are dutch.
I used to work for a video company on location for a short while so i would see a lot of dutch famous people every week.
Also in Amsterdam i would occasionally see a celebrity.
 
I shook hands with Gerald Ford at Arlington Nat'l Cemetary after a speech he gave on Memorial Day back in the '70's...forget which.

Wife talked with John Lennon several times while he was living at the Dakota. She met him several times when she was living in NYC.
 
True story... The head coach of the Pacers Frank Vogel went to my highschool. He lived in Wildwood Crest, and he comes to Wildwood high every summer to speak to the high school students. He's going to be on tonight in the all star game.
