Could also be "One time I had my picture taken with..."

Everyone has bumped into someone of some notoriety at some time, or knows someone who has. Lets hear your story.

I was best friends with the best friend of Ty Penningtons's brother. I met Ty at several parties.

That's all I have.... next???

Who's Ty Pennington? I wonder if I'm related to him?

He's the cutie that does all of the Sears commercials and that TV show where they tear some family's house down and build them a new one.

And from Atlanta

When I lived in LA I saw famous people all the time. My friends would all give me a hard time because I have a good memory for bit characters from movies and TV so often would recognize people others didn't remember right away.

The most fun one (for me) was seeing Michael Keaton trying to talk his way out of a jay walking ticket.

I had the priviledge of doing Hank Williams Jr. hair before he played at Billy Bobs one night. It was a great experience and what a gentleman he is. He tipped me $50. and gave me tickets to go see him. Now for the bad part... I partied way too much and like a dumba$$ I drove home and totaled my car and the one I hit and got a DWI. Thanks goodness I didn't hurt anyone. I had to use the money he tipped me to get out of jail the next morning. This was back in the 80's when they weren't so tough on drinking and driving but it still cost me a pretty penny and I was on probation for a year.

I also have met Willy Nelson and spent several hours on his bus one night with him, his band, and some friends of mine. My best friends dad is close friends with him and even plays with him some. He too is a very nice, down to earth guy.

Bruce Davison is my cousin. (Actor in Z-Men, Apt Pupil, Crazy/Beautiful and a bunch of really bad made-for-tv crap.) That's probably the best I can do. I saw Michael Jackson in an airport once, back when he was famous in the good way. I think that's it?

Cindi I had a dream a couple of weeks ago about him. He was actually wanting me to go out with him but kept telling him I couldn't because I was married. :) I love that show and had watched it that night. He is such a cutie on TV but guess he is in person too?

I have a picture together with Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen at a bed and breakfast in Mendocino, but that's not much of a claim to fame. I'm more proud of the fact that I've seen Harry Connick Jr. naked. :-)

Yeah, Bren. Real guys-guy, very friendly and personal. When I knew him he was just modeling, before he got the TLC gig, then his own show... and now Sears and Alltel (phones).

i met boomer esiaison when he qb'd for the Bangles back in the day.
I've had to photograph up close Dave Matthews, the creator of sex and the city, and some college bball stars.

Ohh I skateboarded with tony hawk, andrew reynolds, jim greco, heath kirchart. Snowboarded with jimmy halopoff, andreas wiig and joni malmi. I guess people into those sports would only know those people (jimmy halopoff won x games in the 90's) and everyone knows tony hawk.
