Claims To Fame, or "I touched a celebrity"

David Yow from the Jesus Lizard. I laugh every time I see this one. He was in town filming a movie, and somehow a buddy of mine that owns a dive bar convinced him to come in and tend bar for the evening. Me and my old boss showed up with a lot of expectations for him to be completely off the chain due to many stories we’d heard over the years. We sat at the bar and he poured us drinks for a few hours and was totally cool the whole time. When I was ready to leave, my buddy that owned the bar asked if I wanted to take a picture with David, so I figured why not. So as we’re getting ready to take the picture, David turns to me (I was quite drunk at this point) and starts telling me that he enjoyed talking to me all evening and that I seemed like a really cool person. This pic does a pretty good job depicting my utter confusion regarding the entire chain of events. My old boss, who is a huge Jesus Lizard fanatic and who was always trading insults with me, looked at me after this and said “I don’t even know what to say to you right now.” Ah, good times.

It must have been early 90s. WCW came to Europe for a few shows, and I used to work back then at Grugahalle Essen, a concert and trade fair complex. This was to make some money to survive, because young doctors back then earned only 1200,- Deutschmark per month .
Before the wrestling show started someone from the organization came up to me asking me if it's richt that I was a doctor. Nature Boy Ric Flair had injured his back while warming up and needed someone to have a quick look at him. So i examined the guy and decided it would be best to give im a painkiller injection to his lower back.
This must have been the only celebrity I personally met in my life, but I came very close
Ric actually was a very nice and funny guy… at least to me.

Just got off the plane from Berlin. Liz Hurley was sitting in the row behind us - though it took Paula to point it out to me.
And whilst musing to myself at how amusing it is that I never recognise anyone "famous", I remembered this one.
A few years ago, Paula and I were invited to the opening of a flash new store in London - wall to wall celebs. Anyway, I am not afraid or embarrassed to admit that I do like a bit of later Take That and solo Robbie Williams. Paula and I were swanning around drinking our champers and feeling very out of place..
G - "That guy over there thinks he's real big fucking deal doesn't he? "
P - "Giles, that's Robbie Williams" -
Nothing wrong with Robbie Williams G, pretty sure most blokes wouldn't mind being him for a day.

And speaking of Lemmy…Back in 1981 some friends and I went o see Motorhead at a small club in the San
Fernando Valley called the Country Club. Motorhead were on tour opening for Ozzy and they did a one off
gig there. My friend Leslie and I walked in and Lemmy was at the bar, we went up to ask for his autograph
and he sat us both on his knees, bought us a rum & coke and spent the next half hour chatting with us.
One of my favorite rock & roll moments ever. -
oh i forgot, i met tucker max and drank with him after the premier of his movie. he's actually a crazy smart guy and wasn't a dick- very nice to women and men alike. i'm fairly convinced that his book/movie character is just for show/money.

Lemmy tryin to style u and ur buddy BH? Thats pretty awesome!!
Trick, i don't understand dudes that are scared of naked chicks man. My buddies are pretty weak like that too. Mind u our stip club is a dive but its freakin hillarious sometimes -
Ya i hear you man. Im not into being harassed the whole time either. Sometimes i just fuck with them but most get the point with a simple "no thx".
To get back on track (and still has to do with chicks). Im a big MMA fan and watch pretty much evert UFC and also check out the low budget shows that happen in or around my city. So i hear a rumour that "Meisha Tate" is supposed to show up in my city (pop of 75k lol) at a shitty lil hockey arean to sign autographs. I was pretty skeptical and didnt want to pay for tix because 1.) i figure she aint commin and 2.) there was a pretty big UFC ppv on that night. So a friend and i decide to drive to the event before the ppv came on and take a look for her. We get there and i tell him to just follow me and i proceed to walk into the lobby, around the merch table, nod at security and just walk right in (hahaha actually worked out like it did in my head). We get in and spot Meisha so we walk over to her table, past the 2nd set of security lol and get inline to meet her and her bf Brian Carraway!! She was pretty friendly (seemed a bit exhausted from talking tho) and he was super nice.
Only the pic of her is important lol -

Mind u our stip club is a dive but its freakin hillarious sometimesI kind of hate "strip clubs" but I like "titty bars" if that makes any sense. To me, there's a huge difference between a spot where some broad is trying to hustle me into paying for a lapdance (or whatever else) every ten minutes and a place that's just a divey kind of bar with a naked chick on a pole. The former is pretty awful, but I tend to like the latter. If I'm drinking why not have naked chicks there too?
AND THE CHICKS AT JUMBO'S AREN'T EVEN NAKED, DUDE, DAMN.
