Radney Foster
Lisa Loeb
Ranking Roger (The English Beat & General Public)
Joe Theismann (Met him in the Seattle airport.)
Lots of Minnesota Vikings (I used to work near their practice facility.)
Gallagher (Budget rental car counter in Columbus, OH.)
Richard Marx (A floor mate in college went to high school with him.)
Dixie Chicks (Played at a local dive here in Houston just before they made it.)
R.E.M. (Met them in the Minneapolis airport.)
Warren Moon (At a shopping center in San Diego.)
Clyde Drexler (Sat next to him on a flight to ???)
Chuck Knoblauch (Met him in the Houston airport.)
Cheap Trick (They played at an amusement park I worked at in high school.)
Greg Louganis (He worked at the above-mentioned amusement park.)
Prince (His cast stayed at a Holiday Inn in Minneapolis while filming Purple Rain -- he used to drive his motorcycle up-and-down the hallways for fun.)


I have to say that most of them were very nice, down-to-earth folks -- the exceptions were Knoblauch (he was in a major hurry to get out of the airport), Louganis (he was very "taken" with himself) and Prince (just a very unusual individual).

The best impressions were left by Lisa Loeb (a genuinely kind and charming girl) and the guys from Cheap Trick (you felt like you were hanging out with your drinking buddies from high school).

Ozzie Smith - Met him at the restaurant that I work at... SUPER nice guy

Stan (the man) Musical and Jack Buck - Met them at Busch Stadium on season ticket holder's appreciation day or whatever a few years ago. They were sitting on the back of a golfcart. I was only like 13 at the time so I didnt think anything of it...

Marshal Faulk - Met him at my work (before I worked there) while he was having Sunday Brunch with a car salesman. He was buying a new Ferrari 360 Modena.

Most of the entire Rams offenseive line - Again, at the restaurant. They looked like walking Fridges... Tons and tons and TONS of food was going into their room (private party room). Not a single speck of food was wasted.

Lou Brock - Again, at the restaurant. Nice guy, but the people at the table next to him kept bothering him so they left.

Brett Hull - Don't remember, I was like 6.

Thats one person I would love to meet

Ive also met alot of the players from the Manitoba Moose and Blue Bombers. Shipped both of their equipment more than I care to remember when I worked WestJet's cargo at the old building. The equipment manager for the Moose is really cool, though we both felt the same way about emptying a 5 ton full of sweaty hockey equipment at 1am. We used to joke about "losing" the other teams stuff.

The Bomber's stuff came in a semi-trailer. Not a sight you want to see when your the only one working

Met the old Jets, when I played a game in the old Winnipeg Arena. I was only 11 then so dont remember much of it.
