nickbuysvinyl Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Bruce Campbell (got kicked off the football team for this one)Kris from the Ataris Mike V. (and the rest of Revolution Mother) Jim Boeheim (Syracuse University men's basketball coach) Against Me Claudio Sanchez Ed from Taking Back Sunday Why did you get kicked off the team? I missed a few practices and the coach told me if i missed one more, i was off the team. The same day, I found out Bruce Campbell was doing a book signing (This was back when his first one came out), so I opted to go to the signing instead of practice. I came back the next day to find my locker cleaned out. The best decision i ever made in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest genericinsight Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I will get shit for saying this but I don't count people in bands (i.e. bands within this music scene that we listen to) as "famous". To me, being famous implies that almost everyone you know will know exactly who you're talking about as soon as you bring them up. It implies a sense of celebrity as in, if you meet them once the odds of you ever meeting them again will never happen and the odds of them remembering you will be even slimmer. I never liked this whole mentality of when you list the "famous" people you meet, you rattle off a list of people in bands. It doesn't make sense to me, especially if all you did was tell a certain band member "Hey, good set tonight" and maybe shake their hands for two seconds after said band just finished playing... that hardly counts as "meeting". It's not like these people are unapproachable for the most part. now that I'm done/off my high horse, here's my very short list: Scarlett Johanson (very briefly I was introduced to her in 2003 and this was before she blew up as an actress... apparently she at one point was dating someone in a band that was/is on Drive Thru Records and considering an old friend of mine plays in said band, it just happened that she was at a show of theirs once. I still can't get over it) Kevin Kline (he happened to wander into my mom's store in Manhattan once last year when I was there, I got the guts to go up to him and tell him I dug his movies) that's it. My "celebrity sightings" list is way larger than who I actually have met. Living in NYC has it's benefits sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I wanted to meet Scott Heisel when I was in Cleveland a few months but due to conflict of schedules, I was not able to.

Guest genericinsight Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 OH CRAP. I forgot the most important famous person of all: RON JEREMY. I have a picture with him on my Myspace page that a number of my friends still don't think is real... but it's very real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riddle350 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I used to work at a movie theater so we had a bunch of people. Adam Sandler was real cool. Rosey o'donald is really ugly in real life Kanye West. I didn't even know it was him at first. Berry Pepper. I didn't really talk to him. phillip noyce(guy who directed Clear and Present Danger). Total douche bag. Jerry Bruckheimer was just strange. Al Gore I know there were more but I can't remember. Oh the two directors of Little Miss Sunshine were super funny.
