Met Ali a very long time ago ('91) and met Sunjay Dutt over the summer at Cactus Club on Barlow. The guy was drunk and his eyes bloodshot. Asked his buddy to take a pic and the guy damn near takes a pic of the sky. Hes one scary dude in real life. Funny thing was that the next day his pic was on the cover of the Herald as "Known terrorist filming in Calgary" (EI members know who he is)

I've met a bunch of singers before. *NSYNC, Paul Brandt, Terri Clark, The Johner Brothers, Chris Cummings, Shania Twain, Farmer's Daughter and Kevin Sharp. Most of them are country singers, but that's alot of the music I like :)

I've also met most of the stampeders and a good chunk of the Calgary Flames. Lanny McDonald on several occasions (I actually interviewed him for my first project in college) but who in Calgary hasn't met Lanny by now :)

met naughty by nature in mexico by accident in our hotel, but i didn't actually ask for an autograph, they were giving them out to everyone who looked their way! :nut: still FAMOUS i guess.

and i once saw the guy who played that other guy on the first season of baywatch who dated pam anderson here downtown like 8 years ago. didn't get an autograph from him, but you can see i lead a star filled life.

I don't consider meeting hockey players to be a big deal cause any annoying kid hanging around long enough at a game will meet them.

I am friends with Dennis Rodman, have met Juliette Lewis (on set), danced/drank/partied with Amy Smart (road trip, butterfly effect), Jake Gyllenhaal rented a condo on my floor, Kevin Costner (same as jake), Maestro, Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder) and Heath Ledger...I think that's it.

Oh yeah and Trish Stratus and Triple H at the palace a few years ago. Trish was cool but H was such a homo...:rofl:

That may be true for the Flames players but out of town teams are super difficult to get and players like Mario Lemieux and Dominik Hasek dont sign all the time, most of the time they just say "i'll get you later" or some bs excuse.

It was actually a pretty benign comment.

You suggested that you have never met anyone famous. I also know that you work long hours at your restaurant. My suggestion was simply to open a restaurant close to where famous people stay when they are in Calgary.

My Uncle is a music producer and produced a c.d for Billy Idol back in the day. My uncle is also married to Jen Savage daughter of John Savage (remember the show Angel) and her half brother's are Fred Savage(Wonder Years) and Ben Savage(Boy Meets World). My aunt was in in the 3rd Godfather movie and was an actress on Dr.Quinn medicine women. I'm not directly related to her and her family but it's still neat to be related through marriage.

Back in like 1998 i went to a goalie camp up in sylvan lake taught by Bill Ranford. I have a picture taken with him then I later got it autographed. I Also have the practice jersey i got from there filled up with autographs from most of the western and central WHL goalies (at that time) autographs to. It was cool becasue at the time i didnt know who he was but I later found out (still when I was there) and we got one on one on the ice tips, and hints from him so he would be like "lower your glove, suck your elbow in" but i think the most useful information I got there that has stuck with me since (even though i dont play hockey anymore) is when he told me to "let the player make the first move". My mom tells me Sean Bourke was there too and I think kelly rudy coulda been there aswell

Also I was born in calgary in 1989 during playoff season (the year we won the cup) so I have pictures with me in those hospital type cribs with a big lanny mustache on it.

I got to play hockey with Guy Lafleur and two other guys that came up to the NWT with the Hockey Heroes team. It was three on none, Im the goalie, so I got some quality shots taken on me. Ive also met Gordie Howe, Stan Smyl, Andy Moog, Bill Ranford, Cliff Ronning, most of the Sutters, Craig Muni, haha Jordan Tootoo, Drew Bledsoe, I cant remember much else. Oh yeah, one of my boss' is in business with Scottie from Star Trek's son, so I get to meet some old Star Trek stars when they come up, as well, the guy from the city in the sky in star wars, episode 5 I think it is, I get to meet him this summer. The star Id like to meet the most is Martin Brodeur.

Edit: Forgot to mention Kelly "Rudy". I also met a bunch of other goalies through goalie school in Sylvan and Penticton.

I saw Robert Duvall at the Second Cup in Chinook a couple summers ago when he was filming that movie with Annette Benning and Kevin Coster. Got his autograph...he's a really nice guy!

On Sunday I talked with Ryan Getzlaf in my store at Chinook as well...he's a BIG guy! Never realized how big he was until I saw him up close.
