I wud love to meet Rob Zombie and Ben Burnley (Breaking Benjamin) and I loved Patrick Swayze.

hrm. i've been to hundreds+++ of shows and i used to tour with some cal punk bands, so i've met a lot - probably no one anyone knows anymore.

here are some that were more 'famous' and a little more than just seeing them and saying hi.

~ kurt cobain - i drank a pitcher of beer with him before a show in tempe

~ mark arm (mudhoney) & the boys - more pre-show bar drinking conversations in a back booth in phoenix

~ greenday - i was (and still am) very good friends with his then girlfriend (think 1039 smoth out / kerplunk times) and when they'd play my town, they'd stay at my house. i've cooked these guys breakfast, jumped off my roof naked into the pool holding a bottle of JD, trecool took me to the hostpital when i broke my finger, etc, etc... i ~loathe~ the band though.

~ jane's addiction, specifically dave navarro - hung out after a show and he was paying way too much attention to me, but he promptly walked away when i told him i wasn't a groupie.

~ all the guys from the supersuckers - i've just been around them so much that we chat now at their shows (started when i stayed at the same teeny hotel as them after a show and we all partied together before they disappeared into their own rooms with their groupie d'jours.

~ Sepultura - heh. On my 21st bday, my then bf took me to their house after dinner. We all hung out and rank 7-up and played ping pong. They are SO NOT hardcore.


edited to add ~ Death Cab For Cutie and zooey deschanel - same ex-greenday gf married dcfc's manager and through them, i hung out with them a few times.


The rest have all just been quick meet/greets - nothing more than that.

I've met Rob Zombie ^^ I gotz a hug from him too!

Jonny Lang (blues guitarest)
Kenny Wayne Sheppard(blues guitarest)
Jason Mraz
Duran Duran

I think that's it.

Marie Osmond. BEAT THAT!

Oh, and Luis Gonzalez of 2001 World Champion Arizona Diamondbacks fame. Stopped him on his way to the can at a single A game that he was scouting.

JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!

I got a fist bump from Ghost Face Killa at a rest stop once. I didn't know who he was but everyone was excited about it. He wouldn't let me try on his bling though.
I have no recollection of this, but apparently I met Sophia Loren as a child.
And, I feel like I have met someone else but I can't remember who-- it is at the tip of my brain.

I have met Jaromir Jagr, Martin Straka, Matthew Barnaby, and Tomas Sandstrom back in the early 90's.

I am a huge Jagr fan and I had a guy come up to me outside the Civic Arena after a game and asked who I wanted to meet. I told him Jaromir and he said "stay here I know him". As soon as he walked out of the tunnel Jaromir made a b line for us. I could have passed out mind you I was 19 years old and infatuated with him. The guy introduced me and Jaromir asked if I wanted an autograph. I said of course I do he went and signed a poster and gave it to me. That is still in a frame and he also signed my jersey. 2 of my most prized possesions. BTW Barnaby is not a very personable fellow. At least he wasn't back then. People change so maybe he did. I had the best fan experience and probably the worst in the same night.

I forgot to add I met Art Monk, Jay Schreoder, and Mark Mosely at a charity basketball game when I was about 10 years old.

I am jealous. I would be a groupie for dave navarro any day! Integrity, inshmegrity.

Ive met

Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) twice! hehe

A little jealous here. I find Pete Wentz ridiculously attractive.

I've met quite a few band members--
Justin Pierre (singer of Motion City Soundtrack, met a few other band members too)
Tom Higgenson (singer of Plain White T's, met a few other band members too)
The whole band of All Time Low (at a meet and greet that I got to go to because my friends were members of their fan club)

A bunch of my friends got to meet Sean Astin, but I wasn't with them at the time. SAD.

All time low!?!?! I'm so jealous!! I got to meet their drummer and get a picture with him, but not the rest of them. =/

I also met Jason Avant from the Philidelphia Eagles when we had sideline passes to a preseason game.

And, I also met Lloyd from Young Money. (He sang the chorus in "Bedrock" by Young Money.)

i volunteer backstage at a music festival and have met or been in the presence of (since i'm so shy i don't approach them that often):
cyndi lauper, huey lewis, john mayer..served him his dinner,, sublime, no doubt..served them their dinner, o-town (nice boys..i served them their dinner and told them to eat their veggies), bryan adams...he was super nice and signed my backstage pass, and tons more. can't think of them all but it's a huge music festival here and i've volunteered backstage for about 10 years..so it's hard to keep track of them all. i also used to work at disney and saw met betty white who was on a backstage tour of the dolphin area where i worked. can't remember right now who else. i'm hungry and my brain isn't quite awake yet lol

edit: oh..and katy perry i don't know what you think of her but she is actually extremely funny and beautiful. so easy going and a beautiful voice. saw her in a very small acoustic set with just her and her guitarist..of course she played too. a beautiful person!

LL Cool J in La Guardia, he signed a magazine cover for me that had him featured on it, Very cool

Patrick Dempsey (I love close to where the Dempsey challenge happens) He is very cool and low key.

One of the guys from Styx, very funny guy we discussed designing a machine that you could do situps on and take shots of vodka.

-D

Don Mattingly (Donnie Baseball) formerly of the Yankees and current Dodgers manager used to help me with physical therapy on my feet/ ankles when it was off season.
