Green day, rancid, nofx, black flag, Jeff oneill ,cujo, plus a few other nhlers who grew up in king city.
I once had a funny cigarette with the guy from that band Len. ( if you steal my sunshine) lol. They went to king city to.

I never ask for autographs though. Waste of their time. When they offer I politely refuse. I also don't look for them. Just run into them.

There has been many more that I have met but those are probably the most memorable for one reason or another.

when I was younger I thought I saw Captain Lou Albano at Pearson Airport. My parents convinced me to run up and ask for an autograph only to find out it wasnt Cpt Lou :( . Boy that lady wasnt very happy when I told her I thought she was a wrestler that hides food in his beard LOL


Since then I stopped hunting down celebs.

However - I do hope to get boobie-graphs from the Buffalo Jills on Sunday at the Budweiser Tailgate party

When I was younger, I met both Test and Edge at a Timmies in the Erin Mills area. This was around the time they first joined the WWF (now WWE).

Speaking of wrestlers, at an even younger age, I met Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Rickey Steamboat, Captain Lou Albano, among other wrestlers, over at Pearson Airport. This was back in the late 80's. They were all just sitting around waiting for a flight that was delayed.

Funny how you mention wrestling stars...when I was younger I lived near Jane/Dundas and for those of you who know the area by Lambton arena, there's a huge bridge there. I was at home on a Sunday night around 10pm and my buddy called up from the buzzer telling me to get my ass outside to the main floor. After convincing my parents to let me go check it out quickly, I raced down to find that Vince McMahon, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin along with several others were filming a clip of Austin and The Rock on the bridge which was featured on the Monday Night Raw in Toronto the night after.

As far as other celebs go I've met Denzel Washington, Joe Budden, Drake a couple of times, played hockey with Cujo and Derek King in King City, Wade Belak (R.I.P) Sundin, Matt Stajan, Kyle Wellwood, David Letterman and other various members of his show, Ron Wilson, Kobe Bryant, Arland Bruce III, Jerome Williams and Reggie Bush just to name a few...I'm sure there's more.

It's very interesting to read how a lot of these encounters happen and how they treat their fans. I heard from a friend that Darcy Tucker was extremely rude and reluctant to appease fans during an autograph signing the company my friend was working for got him to hold.

Oh the cast of Extreme Home Makeover.
I was on the reno team (read: did all the work) on one job. Just outside Jacksonville, Fla. Bunch of prissy fakes, except for that bald young english dude.

Which reminds me, also ran into Fat Joe and his posse outside a liquor store then. I imagine he was there for the Superbowl. There has been others but I don't tend to care too much when it happens.

Of more recent, 2 years ago I met former US President George Bush (not to be mistaken for former US President George W. Bush) at a Houston Aeros game. He was sitting in a private box, which was right besdie the seats I was in with my brother and his kids. I was only able to get 15 seconds worth of conversation in before the guys in suits told me to go back to my seat.

During that same trip, I also saw (but did not get a change to talk to) Roger Clemens. He was attending a kids basball game. He didn't sign autographes for anyone; just wanted to be left alone as he was with family. Understandable.

When I was shopping at the GUCCI store, I was looking at a bag..and there was a blonde woman beside me who started talking to me and I just started rambling on and on to her about the bag, but then I realized it was Jigsaw's wife! We were talking for a while & I wanted to take a picture but I didn't know her name so I passed..lol. I also saw Patricia Clarkson, my boyfriend and I were walking downtown..and I think we were passing the Hazelton Hotel, and there were a lot of people so we were just trying to pass through, then suddenly everyone kind of stopped so I did too, and Patricia walked out of a limo and was standing right beside me for a bit..I didn't recognize her 'cause she was SO small! She looks tall in movies but we were the same height!!

I saw other famous people but only from afar like in concerts, etc.
