Let's see! I saw Bobby Orr in a restaurant when I was 17 & wearing my high school hockey jacket. It didn't matter though, very posh restaurant. I've heard he's an awesome guy but I was warned not to bother him.
Waited for my luggage at Logan Airport with Steven Tyler at 1:00 AM after flying home from the SEMA show in Vegas 2 years ago. Way cool guy!
Met many cool Kustom Kulture/Hot Rod guys. George Barris, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, Norm Grabowski, Alex Xydias, Joe Bailon, Von Franco & Gene Winfield who, by the way, is a bit of a weinie!
Best of all, got backstage at a Brian Setzer show & had my picture taken with him. They don't get any cooler or nicer than this guy. If I can find the picture, (misplaced in the big move), I'll post it. Like anyone cares!
Oh, and lest I forget! I met Johnman, Bargoyle, Pappythesailor, & Granite Tiki at a Waitiki show! It was an honor to be in their presence!
