i've decided to create another thread of this because the last one was made back in September.
So just name any famous people you've met, walked by seen in person, or heard speak.
For me I've met Jessie Jackson, I heard Dick Cheney speak over the summer in whyoming, I wlaked by Glen Plake at the 2001 X-games at Mt Snow, I wlaked by Allen Iverson in 2005 at the denver airport, Imet John henry(owner of the red sox). And i saw Tom Menino(mayor of Boston) on an airplane one time. Thats it for me, how about you?

I went to western state with Seth Morrison, I used to play video games with him in his dorm room. I am good friends with Chris davenports younger brother Ted so I see him a lot. Kiffor Berg, a not so well known big mountain pro. I mounted skis for Jon Olson. I always see celebs around town in Aspen. Sat down with Greg Stump, old school ski vids, and shot the shit about filming.

I sat a few seats from the lead singer of Yellowcard on a flight from LA to Tokyo this past summer. Not a fan of Yellowcard, but I suppose he qualifies.

If we're counting skiers as famous, I live in SLC so I've met a few. Knocked over Tanner Hall's bag of Cheetos at our premiere of Believe at Westminster. They were on the floor in the entryway and i accidentally kicked them over. He was like, "Dude you knocked over my cheetos." And I was like, "Sorry, Tanner." And he was like, "Nah, man it's cool." 100% true story.

uhh i hung out with shaun white at a friends house for a few hours once, he liked to wrestle on the trampoline and beat up my brothers and i, i beat him at cool boarders but he called me a "fagtart" and pointed out the fact that he was playing as himself (in a non cocky way of course). but he was cool, funny kid. that was when he was like 16 though a few years ago.


and uhh i dunno my brother is friends with tanner rainville so hes partied at my house a few times, hes good at rolling joints. likerlygud. nice kid also.not really famous though?

I don't think I've ever met someone famous. I guess I've skied with Mike Hornbeck cause hes from my hometown.

I've seen Derek Jeter's old house cause he grew up down the street from me, never met him though.

I work at a private airport, so I can meet any big name that comes through Montreal, just about.

I'm more interested in business icons around Montreal though. Getting to know these people on a first name basis will be vital to my career later on.

Wealthy business men respect people who give them blowjobs without having to ask for them.

Get busy and one might hire you on his staff.
