I think there is a small difference in meeting someone famous, and hanging out with someone famous, and really how you class famous people. Actors and such, famous?

Bobby Clarke is one of my uncles, been so long since I seen him I don't remember him, knew his daughter, my cousin a bit better. Hockey players friends and family in Canada is very common.

I used to date a girl who was one of the nannies for the Canucks, at the time Brent Sopel, so we would hang out over there, his wife was way to hot for that greasy hick. Most nights we would party with the wives of Sopel and Bertuzzi, which is fine until one of them decides to smash up the Lambo downtown Vancouver.

When I was really young I was involved in television production for a station as it was something I was interested in Neil Patrick Harris who was on doogie howser at the time came and hung out for one of our benefit shows. It was cool hanging out with him, we were both a simular age and all the chicks liked him even back then. Although later to find out he don't like chicks was a downer.

In the late 90's I lived in Vail, CO. I spent the day skiing with Gweneth Paltrow, it was totally random. It took to the end of the day to actually figure out who she was. I also partied with all the Tragically Hip members during that time,

Good friends of mine in Vancouver best friend is Carrie-Ann Moss. I hung out with her a few times, she is pretty cool.

I went on a date with Amanda Crew from the movie Sex Drive when I lived out there.

I am sure there were more, but people are just people. Sometimes I see something and it reminds me, hey I remember when I partied with that person and so on.
hmmmmm so you pitch or catch??? jjk,,outta context i know, but the media does it so it must be tru

Partied with Dakota House (north of 60) a few times,,Me and a bud were in rustys,, ya, waaayy back then,, and in walks this dude that looked like a bag of smashed a$$holes, I joked a little with my bud, next thing you know, the talent was coming over and within 5 mins had like 10 people at the table, it was Steven Tyler and his drummer,, very cool guys, we ended up sitting with them and let me tell you, there's no party like party's with a rock star,,,,Golfed with mantracker, he's a tall guy, and just like the show, he tells it like it is..Saw Craig Simpson on a plane, and saw great big sea on a Newfie flight,,

Had dinner with Mark Dippe and Steve (Spaz) Williams and some others from ILM back in 1993, I didn't know much about Jurassic Park at the time so didn't really know who they were. We were having diner with our friends Wanda and Todd McFarlane.

I played hockey with Dave "Tiger" Williams. Never had a chance to chat with him since everyone and their dog surrounded him. Also seen Alan Thicke in the LA airport in '87.

Is Todd's beard just as nasty in person? If I ever meet him, I'm going to attack that thing with some clippers!!

Aaaaaand you would know this how exactly? From the looks of things, you don't grow facial hair:d:d:d

O yes I do! Looking like a hobo just isn't a good look though.....But see other post, that is what I was referring to.
