Well, where I work (in a gentleman's club) brings it's share of rock stars and celebs. Especially during NAMM, we also get a lot of ball players being right down the street from Edison Field. I guess it was cool to wait on Tommy Lee, he was polite and ordered fru-fru shots. I don't easily get star struck but it was fun to watch all the other guy's in the club going "hey is that Tommy Lee" I was like "no" Duh

But recently, Cory and I went to Ozz Fest. We spent most of the day in David's (Korn drummer) bus because it was super hot. Each member of the bad has his own bus. It was fun to see all the back stage stuff. Marilyn Manson looks funny riding in a golf cart. But the coolest thing happened, we were on stage for Korn's set. This was a surreal experience in itself, to see all the stuff the audience can't, it gives you a new appreciation for musicians. And to look out on a huge crowd, wow! I glanced over and saw Sharron Osbourne, a few people away, rockin out to Korn. I was like "look, Cory, it's Sharron" I loved the first season of the Osbournes, and have it on DVD (haven't seen the second) Cory told me to go over a say hi. I said "no way" so he made his way over and I followed. We stood right behind her as I tried to think of something profound to say about her beating cancer or what a smart business woman I think she is. She was looking for her bag and I saw it behind her chair so I picked it up and handed it to her. I shook her hand and told her how star struck I was and how nice it was to meet her (nothing profound came out damn it). She seemed genuinely surprised and thanked me. She told Cory "Your girlfriend is beautiful" Wow! Later I told Cory he should have said that I was up for adoption.
