Famous people you've met

Postby Josh_Emerton » Fri Nov 27, 2009 3:28 pm

Just sorta occured to me this morning that we don't have a thread for this lol, so here goes. Photos not required but are damn good :)

I actually ran into Billy Slater's bucks party last night (or they ran into me, to be more accurate; and he's getting married on Sunday, for anyone interested) and thats sorta what gave me the idea for this thread. Several footy players there (don't know all their names, I'm not really a football fan lol) but most of them were total dickheads, pretty much with the exception of Billy lol. Add Michael Crocker to that list lol, he poured a bucket of water on me... :? (probably cos I said he sucked at getting the chicks wet in the Wet T comp LOL)

Also met Willie Mason a while back at the same club (Seriously, I love being VIP at Mad Cow Tavern lol, everyone goes there for cheap drinks!), ran into him outside when he was talking to the security guards and they introduced me lol.

Off the topic of footy, met Cat Empire when they came to Cairns for a gig once, but that was an official signing, so not sure if it counts.

Thats about all I can think of right now lol; your turn.

A few that come to mind right away:

Craig Lowndes (have signed photo of him with me and my brother)
Dick Johnson and his wife (nothing special there)
Lincoln Lewis (Went to school with his older brother)
Jeanie Little (Sydney Airport years ago! Crazy woman!)

I'm sure there is more, but most fall into the "not overly famous" category

I haven't really met any famous people :(

I spoke to Westnets old CEO a few months ago, he called in for tech support for his BlackBerry. (The guy who sold the company then went sailing around the world on his boat :P )

I didn't know who he was until after the call! LOL
