I know Glen Young, who used to be Junior Seau's backup in San Diego, so he knows alot of NFL players. He's in the CFL now. His team won the last championship.

My cousin is the drummer for The Juliana Theory. He is good friends with most of Evanescence. Take it wherever you want from there.

A guy I work with claims to have met every famous person out there. According to him, he personally drove the entire defense of LSU to the championship game because their bus broke down or some crap.

How do you know Kronwall? that's awesome.

he bought a bunch of stuff from me at work...now him and his buddy pop in whenever they are in town.

I should note that I met him when he played for the Grand Rapids Griffins, he just got called up last month.

Cool, you're friends with a socialist. And I'm sure when he wins the presidency of a small, utopian community, you'll love visting his little white house.

My dad was on a board of directors with Howie Long.
I worked with Hank Saroyan (voice actor / producer for Muppet Babies and other cartoons, son of legendary writer William Saroyan)
I knew emmy-award winning director/editor Vincent Sklena before he passed away.
Several of our clients are "doctors to the stars" - i.e. eye doctor for the entire ST:TNG cast, Steven Segal's dentist, etc..


Oh, also one of my friends is good pals with Jay Chandrasekhar (of Super Troopers / Broken Lizard fame).

My ex-girlfriend's beach house is two houses down from Jon Bon Jovi's and across the street from the one Raymond from Everybody Loves Raymond rents... but I don't think she's actually "met" either of them.

Her dad met David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) though.

Edit: My brother met The Rock, and my high school principal is now the chaplain for the Eagles I think.

But honestly... who cares?

I forgot to mention I have actually ate dinner with Norm Dicks. Only people who actually vote from Seattle will probably know this name.

Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight

My ex (and baby's mother) is Jon Voight's neice. That makes me his ex-nephew-in-law-but-not-really-since-the-ex-and-i-never-married.

I guess I could put Billy Bob Thornton on that list too.

I was close enough to Hillary Clinton to punch her in the face once. The large well armed secret service agents ensured my little fantasy did not come true...
