I'm Seeing Stars!

[Grillslinger]

http://thegrillslinger.com/rifftrax/MaryJoSmall.jpg

She is know for her contributions to NPR and for her time spent as a writer and cast member of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Her name is Mary Jo Pehl, and last night, she was a dinner guest in my home.

She and her boyfriend, Ronald, are in town for Ronald's corporate training. The two have been staying in a corporate apartment, and eating corporate cafeteria food for a week. Since I had met Ronald online, and he had seen my website, He accepted my invitation to dinner.

I grilled four personal pizzas using real mozzerella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and cabarnet marinera. This was followed by Oaxaca style grilled corn, and grilled chicken breasts marinated in Steven's, "The Only Marinade You'll Ever Need".

This was the hit of the night. "It's like butter!" She commented as she cut into the plump, juicy chicken breast. The chicken was tender as could be, and tasted wonderful.

This was followed by grilled pound cake. Ronald commented before leaving, "You really are a grillslinger."

By the time the two of them left for the night, Mary Jo was asking about what kind of grill to by, and she left with a copy of Indoor Grilling, which she couldn't wait to read.

It's great to spread the joy of grilling!

Hi Grillslinger! This thread accidentally posted twice, this one and another without working pictures. I deleted the other and left this one. :D

BTW, awsome post! Sounds like you guys had a blast!

[Erin]

This is the new thread to share your stories about meeting celebrities. Ever met Tom Cruise? Seen Bruce Willis from a distance? Ever had a dinner date with a TV star like Grillslinger above? Heck, have you ever even just seen the local weatherman while at the movie theatre? If so, share your story here! I'm interested to read about all the famous people all you fellow .com-er's have met.

As for me, I know I posted this elsewhere already, but earlier this summer, I had the chance to meet one of my favorite authors, Chuck Palahniuk. Here is the picture of us together (ignore the horrible quality, my flash didn't go off for some annoying reason and I was only allowed one photo because of the others in line behind me)

As for other celebrities I've seen in real-life, I've met the professional wrestler Goldberg, met Carson Dailey (whoop-te-do) and once in Vegas while walking down the halls of the Bellagio, my sister and I saw the guy who played the oldest brother on the TV show 7th Heaven. :lol: I think his name is Barry Watson or something like that.

[OchrisO]

I met Davey Havoc from the band AFI once upon a time, but it was in a dark club in the middle of a concert and I have no pictures of it. That is about the extent of my celbrity meeeting.

[Erin]

Davey Havoc is dreamy. :wub:

[Jean]

I've tried to enhance the photo a little (without much success):

[OchrisO]

Davey Havoc is dreamy. :wub:


He's also a really nice guy, and suprisingly soft spoken. He spent all of Samhain's set talking to people in the crowd and signing stuff for people. He seemed sort of embarrassed to be doing autographs.

[sarajean]

i've mostly met punk rock people that most people wouldn't know.

[Bethany]

I shook Lewis Grizzard's hand once. I was also the first one to the church for his funeral and got to sit in the church almost at the front.

Met Rick & Bubba way too many times. For those of you in the Houston area, Tuttle & Kline (they have also been in some movie called Lightening Bug). I've eaten lunch with Curtis Pride, a former Atlanta Braves player who is deaf. And the weatherman on the NBC affiliate here is my cousin and I terrorized him for many years.

[OchrisO]

i've mostly met punk rock people that most people wouldn't know.
I probably would. :)

[sarajean]

i'm sure you would.

let's see...i interviewed jerry only, spent a christmas with one of the vandals, went christmas shopping with another of the vandals, smoked...stuff...with some of less than jake, got some of the other members of less than jake to play a song they rarely play (and i had to help them remember most of the words) on their tour bus, hugged milo, never ever paid to get into a cherry poppin' daddies show, and...i know there are more but i can't think of them right now.

oh, and i almost got into a fistfight with monique from save ferris.

(i realize some of those aren't punk, but the show were all at the same places)

[OchrisO]

i'm sure you would.

Haha. You probably should have went ahead and punched Monique Powell. :)
What was the near fistfight over?

I met the guys from that metalcore act normajean when they played a show here at a place I used to help with shows. Disappointing all around.

I was going to go to a small local show a number of years back and didn't get to for some reason. Against Me! was there along with a few other plan-it-x bands. This was back before they signed to Fat Wreck and started sucking.
I'm sure I would have met them had I went, because it was avery small venue and most bands who came through there hung around.

I'd like to meet any of The Vandals, I bet they are pretty entertaining. The same goes for Less Than Jake.
And Milo.....I just found one of my Descendants CDs a while back(Everything Sucks) and have been listening to it like crazy.

[sarajean]

um...monique's a big fat bitch, isn't that enough? no? okay, well, it was my friend's birthday, and she was all drunk at a show and tripped and spilled her beer on him...just kept walking, didn't even apologize. i yelled something at her as she walked away, and she turned around and did the whole "um...don't you know who i am?" thing, which just pissed me off even more.

i had to be led away.

Haha. That's great. I never saw them live, but while they were a good band, she always did seem like she would be a bitch. Have you ever seen her website? All of her pictures look like she thinks she's so rockstar. It is pretty funny because few people even know who she is.

Thats my grandad on the motorbike and my grandma is the lady acrobat. He rode the wall and globe of death with the Air Aces before and after WW2.

[Matt]

Wow!! That is cool as shit

I met Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn in the drive through at Arbys in Glenwood Springs. :lol:

No pictures :(

[Odetta]

I heart Kurt Russell. Just to meet Snake Plissken would be the highlight of my day!

[Bethany]

I didn't get to meet him but Nicolas Cage came to my town to research his character for a new movie (I can't remember which one) and the headline in the next day's paper was a quote from a local "Nicolas Cage at the Damn Waffle House!" :P

[Mordred Deschain]

Let's see, met Matchbox 20,and bs'd with em for awhile. Then later that night, I ran into the bass player from Hootie and the BLO fish (literally) and almost got in fight with him, later that night the drummer asked if I wanted to go to a party (I think it was a set up). Met several heavy metal bands on their way up, u probably haven't heard of half of them. Man I know there's more....OH....ya...Less Claypool...HOW could I forge LEss!

[sarajean]

i met les claypool, too. at the big fish pub in tempe arizona. he was there with m.i.r.v. that night.

i had forgotten about that.

[Darkthoughts]

I went to see The Wonderstuff with a friend and after the gig we got stranded as we'd hitched and were having trouble getting a lift home. This girl said we could stay at hers so we went back and her boyfriend and all his mates turned up...her boyfriend being Rat from Neds Atomic Dustbin and his mates being the rest of the band...twas cool!

Dude, isn't that funny, I don't know how I forgot about Less, it was one of the biggest moments of my life. I think it must be that the conversation was about 90% about fishing (I think). After Less kinda realized I wasn't begging for an autograph (which I got one at the end anyway), we just started BSing about fishing. Let's see, I believe it was at Primus show (of course) probably a year before the Flying Frog Brigade. That's about all I remember. :cool:

OH, I met Hulk Hogan.

Sorry I don't have any pics as proof, but I'd rather jst shake their hand and BS if there bored of the spotlight.

oooh. that's super cool.

[towerguard]

When I was 7 years old I met a guy dressed as the Red Ranger. It was the best day of my life.

[Nerak]

I met Joe Hill! and um, well, that's it....life is boring for me!! LOL

[Erin]

Ok. This post is looooong overdue (sorry Sarah!).

But anways, this past September, I went to DragonCon in Atlanta. It's a big sci-fi/fantasy/costuming convention that's held annually. I had so much fun. Three huge hotels hosted the convention and there were events taking place from 8 in the morning until 3am. Basically, the convention is a big place for geeks to get together and have a big old party.

I saw all sorts of amazing costumes, many of which people made from scratch. I got to see an independent horror film called The Signal (it's a lot like King's Cell) before it's even been released to theatres, went to a question and answer session with Kari, Torrey and Grant from Mythbusters, went to a question and answer session with James and Oliver Phelps and Matthew Lewis from Harry Potter, meet David Prowse (the actor who played Darth Vader), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Spike from Buffy and all sorts of other awesome stuff.

Probably the highlight of the convention, however, happened while I was waiting for an elevator. I was alone in the hallway when a man and woman walked up beside me. I glanced over the woman was Gates McFadden (Dr. Crusher from Star Trek: Next Generation)!! Her assistant was with her. She saw me looking at her, so she introduced herself and asked how I was enjoying the convention. Just then, two other men walked up, Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker) and Brent Spiner (Data)! Brent Spiner saw that I was holding my autographed Harry Potter picture and asked me if I had read the final book yet. I said yes and he asked my opinion on it. We spent the next few minutes discussing the book. He was super friendly and down to Earth. Just about this time, the elevator door finally opened (the waits for the elevators were insane) and I started to get on with them when Gates McFadden's assistant put his arm in front of me and said I could wait for the next one. Jonathan Frakes stopped him and said "Man, let her on". I reached my floor before theirs and when I got off, they all said "Nice to meet you" and told me to have fun the rest of the weekend. It was so so so cool.

Another highlight was meeting James and Oliver Phelps (the Weasley twins) and Matthew Lewis (Neville) from the Harry Potter movies. They were incredibly friendly as well. Plus in real life, Matthew Lewis was super super hot. He explained in the question and answer session that he wears a fat suit and fake teeth in the movies as well as makeup to make his skin look worse. :lol:

Anyways, here are a ton of pictures from the long weekend.

Darrin and a Klingon (he later stood outside on a busy downtown Atlanta street with a sign that said "I will kill you for food" :rofl:

thanks for sharing those.

[Matt]

OMG! I would have loved to meet these three

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/MidWorldGirl/dc32.jpg

[sarajean]

Erin that was totally cool!! I loved that Riker let you in their elevator :cool:

Ignore Chris...you should give the Death watercolour to me :lol:

it bothers me that if she was there first, they just ASSUMED that it was their elevator and weren't going to let her on. <_<

[Erin]

Yea I know. As soon as I got off I thought of that, but I was too star-struck by Brent Spiner to realize it until later. :lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

You should have done the biggest fucking fart you could when the doors closed, and then turned incredulously to the assistant and said "Thats fucking disgusting. What the fuck is wrong with you?"

[OchrisO]

Wait, are those crocs I see up there? That explains SO much.

[Erin]

What? Crocs are comfortable.

[Eluria]

These pictures are awful but, here goes!

This is me & Brian O'Halloran. Met him, Bryan Johnson and Walt Flanagan at the Wizard Convention in Philly one year. Bryan & Walt were running the View Askew booth and Brian was signing action figures. Me & my friend were just kinda standing there staring at Bryan hahaha, and he calls us over and offers us tickets to the Kevin Smith Q&A. They were free anyway but at least we didn't have to stand in line, that rocked! And that is why Steve Dave is now my favorite chracter. No pictures with him though, I was too shy to ask :(

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z47/etoilazuree/briano.jpg


And here's my husband with Maddox at a signing for The Alphabet of Manliness. Maddox is awesome. My husband's okay too :)

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z47/etoilazuree/maddox.jpg

Oh! And my husband wrote a book, so he counts too, right? :orely:

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z47/etoilazuree/signing.jpg

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z47/etoilazuree/signing2.jpg

[Erin]

Awesome Eluria! What kind of book did your husband write?

Oh, and based on looks, I think my boyfriend and your husband would get along. :lol: They look a lot a like.

[Storyslinger]

Very cool

[OchrisO]

What? Crocs are comfortable.



Idiocracy

[Erin]

I wear them.

[OchrisO]

Maybe he's wearing off on you. You should get out now.

[sarajean]

crocs are comfortable.

jeff thinks they're ugly and hates that drake and i wear them, but he can fuck off.

oh, and maerlyn called me to make fun of her husband for buying them for the family, and was dismayed to learn that i wear mine every day.

[OchrisO]

Three cheers for maerlyn. I might let her jokes about my deceased mother slide now.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Ive got a pair of crocs aswell, i hadnt heard of them until the guy at the shoe place said they were half price with any other purchase, so diem was getting a pair of shoes and i got the crocs as they were the most comfortable thongs (shutup) i had worn

[sarajean]

fer realz. i thought they were stoopid [sic] until i actually wore a pair.

[Erin]

Yea they're awesome. Darrin's flat-footed and crocs are the only shoes he can wear that don't make his ankles and feet hurt.

[sarajean]

i have these (http://shop.crocs.com//p-61-disney-beach.aspx?reqid=61&reqProdTypeId=41p&subsectionname=Footwear&section=products). i'm a huge dork. laugh at me. (drake and i have the same style/colour)

[Daghain]

Buy Croc's! We make a lot of their boxes. I want to keep my job! :lol:

PS I just can't bring myself to get a pair. I prefer my Merrells.

[Erin]

Hey those are really cute SJ!

[sarajean]

omg, i totally want two pairs of their mary janes. the red and the brown...maybe three so i can have purple, too.

[OchrisO]

:arg:

[Eluria]

Awesome Eluria! What kind of book did your husband write?

Oh, and based on looks, I think my boyfriend and your husband would get along. :lol: They look a lot a like.

It's called "Wandering Around South Jersey"

I guess it's kind of like a travelog of his adventures of abandoned places, forgotten towns & just random quirky stuff. (not to be confused with Weird NJ, he hates that :lol: )

Here's his website (http://www.stuofdoom.com), if you're interested. There's some non Jersey stuff there but not much.

[Mordred Deschain]

OH snap! I have a picture of my great grandfather as a National Wrestler. I gotta find it

[Darkthoughts]

A wrestler...rock on!! :thumbsup:

Erin - My gramp was in the circus before and also after WW2. Not sure how long altogether. My Dad remembers it from when he was very small though, he remembers getting shoulder rides off the "World's Tallest Man" who was named "Tiny" :lol:

I thought we could start a thread of us or maybe people we know with celebrities! (Of course Stephen King pics would be the greatest, but I'll settle for whatever you've got!)

My sister just got to go to a class in Miami with the hair stylist from the TLC show "What Not to Wear".

In the meantime, I'll just live vicariously through darkman. :P

[AlishaRiley]

Jesus, Darkman - fucking awesome pictures!!
You look like a rock-star yourself, man. :couple:

[Darkmaniscoming]

Thats very nice of all but I am a geezer not a rock star...
Turtle I have met Pearl Jam and did work with them on several occasions,
but I had a falling out with them very early as (not to burst any bubble) they developed some fat heads in their early days and never felt the buddy buddy picture thing.
I understand that they have changed back to being a little more humble these days...:)

Now these guys on the other hand, were always a pleasure and a damn riot to hang with
(unless their wives were around..:huglove:)

I won't even ask why you have a picture of you with naked Eddie Veddor. :unsure: I REALLY don't want to know. :lol:

I see nothing but a red x also.

I don't think I have any pics with anyone famous. I suspect with consideration for your old job that you're gonna' have way more of that type of pic than everyone else combined...though I know before this thread was started there have been some similar pics posted.

[Darkmaniscoming]

do you not see it either? Weird, I see it....

[Brice]

I do not. I don't know why.

[turtlex]

Um, really? Naked? Eddie Vedder?

( insert disinterested lesbian snarky line here )

DMIC - Maybe you should try uploading the photo here, and linking here to this site? We have user galleries.

[Letti]

do you not see it either? Weird, I see it....

No, you don't. :P

[Heather19]

Very strange, it's showing up fine on my computer. :orely:

[Darkmaniscoming]

Maybe the parents have a block on.....:wtf:

[gsvec]

I get the dreaded red "X" as well. Maybe it's a 'guy' thing. :lol:

[Darkmaniscoming]

Oh, I'm bummed to hear about PJ, but these are still come cool pics.

Well OK, I wasn't really a Gigolo, I was a photographer.
Here's your PJ pic from a very long time ago Turtlex.

[SigTauGimp]

hhmm...I can see it, too...it's hosted on photobucket...anyone got that blocked?

[Unfound One]

I see it! It's a pic of a man at a mic.
He's not naked though. :unsure:

[Letti]

I see it (I have seen it all the time) but he is not naked at all. :)

[AlishaRiley]

Yeah, I can see it, too. :)
16 years ago. :orely: I was barely alive. :wtf:

[Brice]

I see it now on my mac, but it was just an x on the windows comp yesterday.

[Woofer]

Okay, Darkman, but only because you asked so nicely. I don't have any pics from meeting stars when I was young and beautiful, though, so you'll have to settle for these. Oh, by the way, you're a geezer like Mr. Woofer is: with hair almost as long as mine. http://psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/headbanger.gif Wolves approve. http://psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

Woofer and SCREEN LEGEND Malcolm McDowell !!

[Brice]

Little Alex has certainly grown up...viddy well.

[LadyHitchhiker]

:onfire: Malcolm McDowell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[AlishaRiley]

Woofer! It's so lovely to see you!

[Woofer]

Awww, thanks Alisha! :huglove: I usually look less frazzled, but it was hot and we'd been walking all over the place. Also, I almost never wear my hair in twin braids, but it was damn handy in heat and humidity.

[jayson]

I was waiting to see that picture again Woofer! You just look so happy to see Malcolm. It's a great pic! :D

[Gris]

I like how you're holding the Clockwork Orange thing in the picture with Malcolm.

[Woofer]

I like how you're holding the Clockwork Orange thing in the picture with Malcolm.

Thanks. He was kind enough to sign it for me. I think I floated out of the photo shoot room.

[turtlex]

I know I've seen other celebrity pics around... I think there's one of Ralph with Ernie Hudson ( from Ghostbusters and The Crow ). And I'm pretty sure there's one of Sam with Sai King someplace....

[sarah]

:lol: we didn't dare walk up and introduce ourselves. so we had to "sneak" our picture. ;)

[turtlex]

sneaky pics.
the best kind !

[Woofer]

:lol: we didn't dare walk up and introduce ourselves. so we had to "sneak" our picture. ;)

Hehehe. That's fucking great!

My camera wouldn't turn on fast enough at Screamfest or I'd have a picture of Elvira to post. Alas, though, I have a picture of the back of her head.

[Sam]

I was never much of one to take pictures of myself and celebrities. **List of celebrities I have met and not taken pics with for one reason or another:
Michael Clarke Duncan (John Coffey)
Christopher Lambert (Connor MacLeod)
David Prowse (Darth Vader)
Jeremy Bullock (Boba Fett)
Warwick Davis (Wicket)
Kenny Baker (R2D2)
Anthony Daniels (C3PO)

I have one pic of me and a celebrity (of sorts) and here it is. Me (on the right), my wife (on the left), and Him.
http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq243/scgriz/ornament.jpg

[turtlex]

Him ! Ha!! Yeah, he's a celebrity of sorts.

I knew I saw that picture someplace !

Flipping awesome !

[Brice]

Who is that guy? :orely:

:unsure:

I don't take pics with celebrities either. They take pics with me which they show their friends. :lol:

[jayson]

I get $500 just for "Hey, Hey". Wait, that's not me, that's Krusty. I have had the chance to meet many famous people as well but have not had my photo taken with them. Some are a lot cooler than others. Some are not cool at all. Always fun to see which.

[Woofer]

Sam, you and the missus look quite happy. That guy looks so familiar, and I'm sure I've seen him somewhere. I guess it'll come to me eventually.

Oh, wait. I know who it is. It's THAT GUY!

[Iwritecode]

I've got a couple of pictures of some White Sox players around here somewhere. They are really the only celebrities I've met in my life.

[AlishaRiley]

Yeah...Sam...who the hell is that? :orely:
He sure does look familiar...Ah, American Idol...that's it.

This is me with The Brice Beade. :D

[Brice]

:lol:

Ah, good times! :D We really must work out a way to meet again soon. My work schedule has just been kind of last minute lately. Some days I haven't found out I was off on a particular day till the night before.

[Sam]

I once had a Captain who made that way of life a regular thing. She once called me up literally as I was walking out the door to go to work to tell me to take the day off. Seeing as how I worked nights and this was 6pm, it nearly ruined my entire evening. I was fortunate that my GF(now my wife) actually wanted to get together with me on such short notice (like call her and say, "Hey, turns out I don't have to work, want to meet me at your place?)

[Brice]

It drives me crazy having to operate on such a schedule. :pullhair: I mean I'm pretty spontaneous and don't really ever make plans, but it's nice to be able to do so.

[turtlex]

This is me with The Brice Beade. :D

Great?! They look positively edible!

Thanks for posting that, Ryan. Two two two great guys in one picture!

[obscurejude]

:) Thanks guys. :blush: I posted it in the fottergraafs thread a few months ago, but I thought it might get some laughs in this thread. It really was a privilege to meet Brice and he is a bit of a celebrity around these parts. And he's the Burger King. :cool:

[Brice]

The privilege was mine, Ryan. I had a great time, my friend.
