Saw National Treasure at Northwoods Theater in San Antonio with Tony Parker and Eva Longoria. I think it was a holiday or during the summer or something, went with my dad and brother around lunch time and it was just us 3 and Tony and Eva in the whole theater.
Played in a golf tournament last year hosted by Bob Lily and Dat Nguyen. They were riding out the course saying hello to everyone. Of course when they got to us, I was hitting a really tough chip shot and had Bob Lilly just staring me down as I took my shot. Luckily I had a pretty lucky shot and got a "nice shot son" from Lilly. Dat seemed like a cool guy.
When I was a student at UT, Jackson Jeffcoat was on the team. I worked at the call center calling alumni and parents for donations. I was in the Texas Parents calling pool and ending up getting Jim Jeffcoat on the line. He wasn't much of a talker but I just happened to be reading Boys Will Be Boys by Jeff Pearlman while I was at work and got on that call so that was pretty cool, I was just reading about the guy and all of a sudden I'm on the phone with him.
Hung out with Dug Pinnick of King's X at SXSW my freshman year at UT. He was a super chill guy, he's the one who came up to me, not the other way around. I played guitar at the time but expressed my interest in playing bass, he tried to offer me one of his but he's a lefty and I'm not. Hung out with him at this festival for hours, smoked some funny stuff with him and his side project band he was playing with at the time, went over to Key Bar with him, he got me in since I was underage at the time. We waited there well after 2 am, Snoop Dogg was playing at Emo's that night and his assistant or tour manager or something knew Dug and was supposed to pick us up. Took him forever because he was securing some reefer for Snoop but he eventually came by and scooped us up and took me back to Jester.
The next year at SXSW, me and my gf at the time were in the area and decided to go up to the Austin City Music Hall to watch the red carpet for the MTVU Woodie Awards. We just kind of hung around for a few minutes after they started taking everything down and an employee with MTV came up to us about 5 minutes before the show was about to start and handed us VIP passes. I sat right behind one of the guys from The Buried Life and chatted with him for a bit. Later met Aziz Ansari in the hallway and got a picture with him, he was a real nice guy, seemed genuinely happy to meet a fan and take a picture.
Ran into Jani Lane of Warrant at the airport about a year or so before he died.
Saw Malik Rose at lunch 2 weeks ago but he was just there with his wife, didn't bother him or anything.
Ding dong ditched Bruce Bowen's house once, a buddy I used to play baseball with lived down the street from him in Sonterra in San Antonio.
Priest Holmes used to go to my orthodontist, saw him in the office one time.
