I once headbutted the lead singer of Neds Atomic Dustbin (accidentally), and then threw up on one of their bassists (again, accidentally), I shared a joint with Evan Dando at Glastonbury one year, I met Buddy Guy once (he took the piss out of me, old bastard), Gary Lineker gave me a prize, I once told Lenny Kravitz to fuck off (how cool am I)
Oh, and my Grandma was good friends with Larry Grayson; he lived round the corner from us.
Oh, shit, nearly forgot, I also gave Jay Kay the bird at his album launch party. He danced too close . . . .

I once met Marc Owen from Take That in the bar of a hotel in London along with some of my freinds. We hung out with him in the bar a couple o' hours until we left and went to some club. Pretty decent person I must admit.

I am noddin terms with 'Bricktop' from Snatch...the geezer who feeds everyone to the pigs.
Anyway, he drinks at the local I drink at, and he's fucking scary to look at.

i bumped into tom hanks almost knocked him over in nyc, got kinda stuck in the door way with him.
you guys probably don't know or care who erie von is so i will leave that story out.
my brother is friends with kim deal so i have chated with her on the phone but thats it. he also knows steve albini and has spent the night at his house. so i guess i only know famous people by proxy and that doesn't really count huh?

I apparently specialize in knowing relatives of the relatively famous:
- Tony Alva's ex GF and their kid
- Kevin Bacon's Dad
- Drew Carey's ex-fiancees sister
- Charles Mingus' daughter
- Joan Rivers' Architect
- Oliver Stone's son
- Dr. J's babysitter

Oh yeah, and I had dinner with Norah Jones a couple of times.
Sat next to George Lucas on a plane once.
Breakfast with Clint Eastwood (and about 25 other people, so that doesn't count, i guess).
Got loaded with Pete DeFreitas (drummer from Echo and the Bunnymen) 3 months before he died. :(
Had a pretty in-depth discussion of Calvino's Invisible Cities with Barry Andrews (ex Shriekback and XTC).
Used to live next to Josh Wink.

So i'm in the theater watching City of Lost Children, and this guy behind me is wheezing and snorting and really just making one hell of a nasal racket... I'm getting more and more irritated, and, as the credits roll, I spin around to feed the guy some PhillyHate™...
...and i'm eye to eye with Randall Tex Cobb - THE LONE BIKER OF THE freakin' APOCALYPSE.
:O
