I met Chipper Jones back when he played for the Richmond Braves.
He was about 21 years old at the time. I never thought he would become such a great baseball player.
Too bad I have to boo him at will though, being a native Philadelphian and all, lol

I have lived in NYC my entire life so I have seen a lot of famous people on the street and usually forget about them. Off the top of my head, Michael Moore, one of the chicks from Sex and the City (seen her multiple times), that guy who has that Mad Money show and is always yelling, too tired to remember others at the moment. Saw Mickey Rourke at a steakhouse.
My best celebrity story involves Laurence Fishburne. Me and my friend were going to see Pineapple Express so naturally we were high and we couldn't find the theater. We were walking down the block and we see two guys talking so we go up to them to ask them where the theater is. It was night time so we couldn't see their faces until we got close so I am like "hey do you know where the...oh shit you're Laurence Fishburne what's up man!" My high ass friend called him Larry and he corrected him. He gave us solid directons.
Met Lennox Lewis when I was a kid at a restaurant in the Bronx. Shook his hand and got an autograph, remember him being nice.
Met Jon Stewart at the hospital, he was with his kid, had a casual conversation, nice guy.
Got autographs from a lot of golfers at the Barclays a few years ago. Phil Mickelson was really nice.
Sold weed to the actor who did the voice of Dash from The Incredibles.

Saw Larry King on a pay phone in La Guardia when I was 11. Then saw Coolio after a radio concert when I was 16, my friend yelled "Coolio you suck" and Coolio said "Yeah on yo mommas titties" And I saw the Black Eyed Peas in the mall when I was 14, another friend was clowning the Chinese guy, telling him he didn't wanna battle 'cause he knew he'd lose, etc.

Bill Murray, Barry Gordy, Demi Moore, Arnold Scwarzenegger, Tiger Woods and his hot wife, Vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson, Barry Zito, got my ass kicked in baseball by Mark Prior and Carlos Quentin, Kassim Osgood, Shawne Merriman, got mistaken for one of Vincent Jackson's friends... by Vincent Jackson (at a club, he was def intoxicated), Cliff from Cheers (John Ratzenberger), and Newman from Seinfeld (Wayne Knight). There's a bunch more, I worked at top end hotels and restaurants in SoCal for years, seeing celebrities is nice once in awhile, waiting on them hand and foot is not. Honestly, I had conversations with every one on these people and even went to high school with some of the athletes and the coolest people by far were Cliff from Cheers and Newman from Seinfeld. Cliff asked me to show his kid around USD (Univ of San Diego) and "introduce him to some primo tail". Guy showed up to a $500 a night 5 star hotel in a motorhome. Need I say more? Fuking PIMP

What does "meeting them" consist of?
I stood a foot away from A-Rod as he watched Tiger at Bay Hill a few years ago but I wouldnt really call that meeting him I mean I didnt say hey A-Rod what steroids do you recommend or anything
I would think meeting them would have to involve some personal conversation

I sat next to Eric Bakhch-Pour, who is a film-music composer in Switzerland, on a plane to Los Angeles. He was going to a job interview to the producer of X-men 2.
We had 9-10 hours to talk about everything. He's not a very famous person but I don't count shaking hands with stars if you just shake hands with somebody, you will not meet the person himself it takes hours of talking to know a person well.

Oh yeah, my aunt was married to the drummer of the band "Phish" for a little bit, he took us out to lunch at the mall when I was 13, my brother and I kept dropping hints that we wanted this video game (one of the Twisted Metal's) but he didn't go for it. He was in my ear the whole time trying to talk about rap since I said that was the music I liked, telling me ** Tang bit Das Efx's (sp) style...I didn't care.
