When I worked at Circuit City in Atlanta for a year, Whitney Houston came in and I helped her out for about 45 minutes and sold her approx. 6000 in electronics.

 

[jjwdiver]

Hmmm...led a pretty diverse life so here are some I remember:

Barbara Bush, Boris Yeltzin, Tommy Lasorda, Joe Garagiola, Jim and Tammy Faye Baker (separately, but in the same town), Billy Ray Cyrus, Bill Cosby, Alan Jackson, Bob Dylan, Weird Al, Art Garfunkel, Jesse Ventura, Chuck Foreman, Fran Tarkenton, Ty Pennington, "Greg Brady" (Barry Williams), and so on. Radio station and event security accounts for the majority of the meets. Just in the right place and right time for many others.

Figured I better throw in the Dali Lamma to give me some good Kahrma!

No one really special.
Saw lots of famous people up close but as far as actually meeting, shaking hands with and talking to was Rusty Wallace, I don't even watch Nascar but when I worked in a restaurant in Delaware he came in and I introduced myself since I was the cook.

Oh, and one of the singers from Pigface.
They are a band.

Paul Newman he was a nice guy at a GTP race. I was standing in the pits a couple days before race day watching practice and he asked to stand up where I was too. He thought it was cool that I asked him about racing before acting. We talked for almost an hour before anyone else noticed, and he split.

I forgot to mention a odd "almost" encounter. In the late 90's while I was in car sales a tour bus driver drove in the lot interested in possibly trading the bus for a Lincoln Town Car. Anyways ended up taking David Alan Coe's personal bus for a test drive to appraise it for a trade in value. The deal never happened, but it was cool to check out his tour bus.

I'm an ex sound engineer so I've met them all pretty much. Country folks will share there green room grub with ya, old rockers want to score ...., Charro grabbed my butt "Coochie Coochie" and I lived 4 houses down from Scott Baio when a kid. None of them ever smoked a brisket so I ain't impressed.

Eh... not really anybody too special.

But I have met several current and past Indianapolis Colts Players to include Jeff Saturday, Payton Manning, Marvin Harrison... the list goes on.

How I met them, their summer camp is at the college that I graduated from, and I worked there over the course of 2 summers. After all the fans left (there were open practices for fans to watch etc) they actually came out of the woodwork and were decent guys. One of my friends actually helped a couple players (I forget their names) prank Jeff Saturday by putting his golf-cart on the raft in the lake then floating it out to the middle and anchoring it down.
