    Default Famous People

    Ok so we haven't had this one for a while, what famous people have you met?

    Tonight I met Marilyn Manson and Twiggy thanks to my job at HMV's flagship store, I love my job at times like this.

    I also recently met flirted with Annie Lennox through the same way, my flirting was accidental because she made a quip and I can't resist flinging something back like that.

    I've met plenty of other famous people too some at gigs or randomly (Avid Merrion on oxford street was pretty damn random) but I don't wanna list all of them because it'll take me a fair while to write the post and at 1:22 am it's a little late.

    Also on Monday I might (if I can be bothered) get a copy of the final season of Battlestar Galactica signed by Jamie Bamber (Apollo aka Lee Adama) since he will be in doing a signing.

    Holy . Can I borrow your life?

    I've never met anyone famous. Nobody famous comes around here. Well, Hanson came to my brother's restaurant once. I wish I could cook for lesbians like him.

    I've had my track shoes signed by Donovan Bailey. I've met Ferry Corsten, Ilogik, Technikal and Benny Benassi at various events too.

    Though my pride and joy is my drumsticks signed by Mike Portnoy.

    I've met Jerry Only randomly in Camden Market, then later on after a gig at Camden Palace. He remembered me, which was cool. Marky Ramone and Dez Cadena were also met at that gig.

    I met the singer of BMX Bandits, Duglas T Stewart, in the toilet of a Kendal bar and talked about random while my friend tried to convince him he was infact Axl Rose.

    I've met Chris Eubank, lol, at a coffee stand in London, where he proceeded to hit on my then gf. That was amusing because she had no idea who he was.

    Bryan Adams and Keith Scott, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, Bowling for Soup, fun guys to be around. And that's all I can remember, I'm sure there's more, but probably not noteworthy.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    Neil Finn, Matt Sherrod, Goldenhorse, Amon Amarth, and... other people that I recognized faces but couldn’t put names to, frequented the joint I used to work at. John Campbell also went there often, although if you’re not from Australia or New Zealand then that probably means nothing to you. Actually, most people I met there probably wouldn’t be familiar to the rest of the world.
    There was one more that I can’t quite remember... no, that was probably a dream anyway.

    xD Did she make jokes with you or kinda keep to herself?

    Personally, I haven't met too many famous people. :/ A bunch of hockey players, though.

    Ruggero Deodato (signed my copy of Cannibal Holocaust and took a photo with him at last year's FanExpo)

    I tried to think of more, but then came to the conclusion that I haven't met anyone. Saw the members of Protest the Hero at the airport once, but I was in a rush so I couldn't say hi to them.
