What famous people have you met?

[natebood]

I've only met one....Tony Hawk before he became so big. He visited our local skatepark and signed autographs. I wonder if his autographs are worth anything?

President Bush signed my brother's yard sign in 1994 when he was running for governor of Texas. Not sure if that would make it more or less valuable.

Is it ever going to stop raining here? Id rather it be cold and dry, at least I could keep my truck clean.

Im actually kind of glad Petrino left. He was a great coach, but he was looking to get out of Louisville ever since he came here.

Roger Clemens- when he played for the Red Sox
Tim Duncan- He was a friend of my sisters at Wake
Tom Cruise- Outside the premiere for MI in London
Russel Crowe- Outside the premiere for MI in London, not really sure why he was there.
Eric Montross- Does that really count? I don't think so.

A few, one from the past and a more recent. Growing up in Dallas, Texas and working at the local mall, I used to see Stevie Ray Vaughn all the time. He was always having lunch at the pizza joint in the mall where I liked to eat. He was always very cool and willing to talk to anyone.

I travel every week and see many famous people in airports, but usually don't talk to any of them. However, last May, I was in Mexico City waiting for a late night flight when a large group of military people came walking down the hall. I wasn't sure what was going on, but people would start clapping as the group passed. It was the Mexican National Soccer Team leaving for the World Cup in Germany. I followed the group and recognized Jarrod Borgetti and started to talk to him. He was very nice and answered my questions about playing in England vs playing in Mexico.
