Fired up! Ready to go!
Just thought I would share my brush with fame last night. Manfred and I were at Whole Foods in the checkout line, and our cashier was clearly staring at someone/thing. After a few seconds, she said, "sorry, I'm spying on Liv Tyler." I asked if that was really her, and the cashier said that it was. Then, just as I turned around to look at her, Steven Tyler (her dad, of course) comes flying towards the checkout line wielding a grocery cart. There was no mistaking that it was him. He was even uglier in person! :biggrin: That was pretty cool to see him, though. I haven't really seen anyone famous since I saw George Clooney at a sushi bar in Arizona about 5 years ago!
 
I would give my left nut to meet Liv Tyler.

The best I can do is when I was at Universal Studios back when I was a kid. Michael Jackson and Macaulay Culkin (I shit you not) got off Back to the Future shortly after my family. We have a picture of them, MJ had bandaids all over his face from surgery or something. Homo

I stayed at a hotel in Kansas City once while they were filming an Aerosmith music video. I never saw any members of the band, but that was OK because they were also holding auditions for the ladies who would be in the video with them. Elevators full of them. Didn't have to use my hands to push the button once.

My only brush with fame was literally just that, a brush. Rusty Wallace went shooting past me at a Nascar race on a golf cart. I didn't even realize it was him until he was too far away to stop for an autograph. :(

Muhammad Ali walked past me at O'Hare airport once. At one time he was the most famous person in the world. I've also seen Richard Petty there. About a year and a half ago I was sitting with my family near a gate waiting for a flight, and Jim Plunkett sat down right across from me. I decided not to talk to him about anything, especially the 1971 Rose Bowl. :(

I sat down on a sofa in the JCrew store in the Cleveland Tower City Center, right next to Dick Vitale. We talked about the Indians while our wives shopped. He's a cool guy, even if he does love the ACC.

Oh, that and Bobby Hoying dunked on me in a high school basketball game. He played in our conference, so I knew him, Jeff Hartings, Kevin Niekamp and a lot of the other guys in that amazing high school class.

I saw Michael Douglas emerge from his trailer back when they were filming "Traffic" here in Columbus. They had all the trailers set up along Front St. between Broad and Long and I was working at AEP at the time and just happened to walk by when Douglas came out first thing in the morning. I thought "who is that sick-looking old man", and only learned later that it was Douglas. He certainly hasn't aged well.
