I rented a car to Meredith Baxter-Burney. She was doing a film with Malcolm McDowell who I also spotted in the airport. Dinah Shore rented a car from Avis next door a few times as she had a house on the Humboldt coast. She really looked like a movie star with her scarf on her head and dark glasses. I also went to use a pay phone (what people used before cell phones kiddies) and Andy Garcia was in the phone booth. I walked by Dennis Hopper on the Venice Beach boardwalk a couple years ago. No celeb meetings unless musicians count. I thought it was real cool when Leonard Graves Phillips of the punk band the Dickies partied with us at my apartment after a show. He was the nicest guy. I guess the best musician story I have is when I was at the Spirit nightclub in San Diego to see a band called the Checkered Past . I went outside to take a leak on a wall and Steve Jones came up and took a piss as well. We exchanged a few words like "hey howzit goin'?" or something like that.
