I have two.
Claim to Fame 1:
When I was living in Halifax (Canada, not England) at the beginning of my career in the early '00s, I freelanced for then-Ellen Page's dad, Dennis, who owned an ad and design agency in the city. I met teenaged then-Ellen once as a consequence.Claim to Fame 2:
Some months later (still in Halifax. Canada, not England), I went to a KMFDM concert with a couple of friends, and ended up smoking weed with Sascha Konietzko on the pavement in front of the venue. He then — after all of us were good and baked — gave me the rest of his stash, because the band were going to the US next (that night, in fact), and he didn't want to get in shit at the border.Of the two, I remember the weed smoking with Sascha much more fondly. And I'm not even much of a weed-smoker.
- Oh yes, and I also interviewed him and his now-wife Lucia Cifarelli for an online metal 'zine earlier that evening.Continuity
