Which famous people have you met?

I once proposed marriage to Sheryl Crow at the Stratosphere in Las Vegas. I was 21 and I was already pretty buzzed. She obviously declined but at least she let me buy her a drink.

Tom Collins. She likes those.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Shit... I didn't even think concerts. The Warped Tour is a great place to meet musicians, actually. I hung out with Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach in 2000 right after their set. He was a pretty cool guy, I thought... I now regret having seen them instead of Jurassic 5 since they played at the same time. :/

In 2002 we once again hit the Warped Tour and hung out with all the boys from Reel Big Fish, but this time this happened before they went on stage for their set. All of them got pretty drunk and lit before they went on stage and as soon as they hit the stage it was RAVING LUNACY. It was actually one of the better shows we saw that day. Also, on that same day I actually sat and had a good long chat with Greg Graffin of Bad Religion. He's probably the most interesting person I've met on the tour. I'd been listening to Bad Religion since '98 and never even knew what he looked like until that day. I also found out that he's adjunct faculty at U.C.L.A. and he teaches anthropology. Ain't that a bitch?

In 2004, we went to the tour in Ventura and met Tom Keely (guitarist from Thursday) while we were taking a water break. It really is too bad that we didn't meet anyone else from different bands that day, but altogether it was a fun day.

OK... You're OFFICIALLY the coolest person on the boards right now.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

OK... Where do you live? I think your place holds a decent concentration of "coolness" that we're not accustomed to. Shit... Here in Visalia the only claim to fame that we have is that Kevin Costner went to one of the high schools here.

COSTNER.

What is that shit?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What exactly was your business proposition? If you don't mind me asking.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well... A lot of us grew up listening to them, so my guess is you're wrong. Still, that's awesome! I never saw them live either, which really pisses me off to no end.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I once asked Sheryl Crow to marry me when I was at the Stratosphere in Las Vegas. She politely declined but she let me buy her a drink.

Now please guys... Spare me the "DUDE! At least she chose Lance Armstrong over YOU!" because no matter which way I look at it, I was turned down for the guy with only ONE BALL.

How ya doing, buddy?

And no. I can't quit. Quitting is for quitters.
