I Saw A Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here!!!
By: Chiprocks1 Date: November 7, 2011, 7:35 pm

I've always wanted to do a thread like this going back 10 plus
years and for whatever reason, I just never did...until now. Why
have I wanted to do a thread like this? Well, for some odd and
strange reason, I have had the uncanny ability to run into
celebs everywhere more times than I can count. More so than I
would random friends or co-workers, past and present. So, post
your celebrity sightings here. They can be Movie Stars, TV
Stars, Singers, Athletes or just people that are infamous. If
you want, you can also post those that you have run into in the
past.

So, tonight, shopping at VONS, standing directly in front of me
in the check-out line was Frank John Hughes. He is a character
actor that has been in pretty much everything. You may not know
the name, but you certainly know the face from such series as
Band Of Brothers, The Event, The Sopranos, 24 as well as movies
like Catch Me If You Can and Bad Boys. The first thing I ever
saw him in was Cover Me: Based on the True Life of an FBI
Family, which ironically enough was shot entirely here in San
Diego.

I Saw2 Sylvester Stallone almost get run over in downtown
Savannah a couple years ago.
I met Bruce "Da MAN!" Campbell at a book signing for his first
book a few years ago.
I used live in Bangor Main and spent most of my life there. I
met Stephen King several times and talk to him quite a few
times. He shopped at the grocery store I worked at and got to do
a couple carry outs for him. Super nice guy.

Great thread and brings back a clear memory.
In college I was doing an experimental video art class and we
used ¾” video tape. That required going downtown to company that
sold that tape. Walking into the building is the receptionist. I
had an appointment with a salesman. While standing there
waiting, I did not even notice someone walking up next to me. I
did hear the receptionist announce over the loudspeaker “Bill…
Mr. Berry here to see you”.
It didn’t quite click but I did glance over to see it was Chuck
Berry. He was tall. Honestly I’ve never been ‘into’ his music,
so the awesomeness was not there, but still a memorable moment.

Oh man, I would have been fumbling for words trying to speak to
him. Johnny B. Goode was one of the very first songs I learned
on guitar. But yeah, great story on your part.

Another music celebrity moment happened early in my life also.
I was a HUGE REO Speedwagon fan (Not so much anymore). It was
the R.E.O tour...

and they came into Peaches Records for an in store record
signing. For you youngsters, that was a time of vinyl records,
with big 12” cardboard covers.
I was dating, if I may say, a pretty hot blond at the time and
she came along for the ride. Well, Gary Richrath was actually
hitting on my girlfriend while standing in line waiting for
signatures. She totally blew him off.
So anyway, I got to meet all the members of REO at that time.
I recently sold that record with the signatures and did pretty
well.

Yesterday I had to hit my Local Poster store down the block and
saw Aisha Tyler

/>standing out in front chatting away on her Cell Phone. I have
no
idea why she was/is in town. Not a fan of her.

What!!!! She cracks me up. Maybe it's the scripted stuff in
Archer, but she is funny.

I don't have a problem with her in Archer. It's in everything
else that she is in that gets under my skin. I don't know why
that is.
