Spin off into Celebrity encounters.. I have a couple.
CSB #1 My buddy used to work the door @ Rain in the Palms.. So me and a friend were up in the VIP area hanging out. We take the elevator down and as soon as the door opens I'm about 5 feet from Derek Jeter as hes in line to go up the elevator. This was during the peak Yankee years and the Astros had just signed the Rocket. I go into a drunk filled rant screaming and yelling at him. The guy literally barely looked my direction which annoyed me even more and shortly after security ushered me away.
CSB #2 Was at the Mandalay Bay for the Jones/Tarver fight. After you walk inside the events center If you stand at the main entrance every celebrity that wants to be seen comes in thru that entrance so everybody can stare. Well for that particular fight everywhere you looked in the concession area was an athlete or celebrity hanging out talking with fans taking pics etc. All of a sudden you see people start rushing to the entrance.. It's Lebron who at the time was in his Rookie year. As he gets closer i realize how large this 18 year old kid is. He has an entourage of about 10 guys surrounding him. I whip out my flip phone for a picture.. One of his bodyguards bumps me and says no pictures as i spill my $15 Crown and seven all over my shirt. From that day forward I have always hated Lebron.
Side notes.. Randy Couture is a dick, Tito Ortiz and Ben Affleck are awesome.. Willie Mcginest is a large human. Peter Warrick is tiny.. Jamie Pressley is gorgeous. Mike Tyson is scary.. Michael Jordan commands a room like no other
