John Holmes, Ron Jeremy, Lisa De'leuw, Seka, Ginger Lynn, Christy Canyon plus a few dozrn more "stars" in Chicago at a convention!!! Yes...I was a perv in my younger days! LOL
Travis Tritt was a "Hoot" when he played during Apple Day one year. I got to do security for him.
Cheryl Ladd, Ned Beaty.
Talked to Hulk Hogan at an airport in Tampa.
If you count family, then I would say one of the biggest right now would be Miley.

I have met Bill and his mom and step dad, Red and Ruth. Actually I live about a mile from his home place on Long street in Flatwoods and I worked with his step dad for many years.



Also have met Charlie Reliford and Greg Gibson. I don't know how famous you would consider them but both are major league umpires.

Kathy Ireland, Tom Wopat (Luke Duke), Robby Gordon (NASCAR). I have gotten quite a few autographs. But, I don't really count getting autographs as metting someone though.
I must say though my favorite was Ted Nugent. He was funny as heck. Was backstage with his group "**** Yankees" and "38 Special" at Ft. Riley, KS in the early 90s.

Unfortunately I've never met anybody I consider famous. I've met several basketball and football players here at UK over the last 4 and a half years but seeing them so often kind of defeats the purpose of them being famous I guess.

Some of you are pretty lucky though, having met so many neat people especially The Guru :)

While at this convention, I was talking to Lisa De'leu for a long time, She was actually very, very nice and quite funny. Anyway, during our talk I asked her what she and the others in the business did after hours during the convention. Did the just sit around in their hotel rooms or what. She said normally that was what they did, but on that particular night, Seka(at the time was the "Queen" of the industry) had rented an entire nightclub out for the evening and was haveing a huge party and they were all going to be there. She invited me and my friend to join them!!! I was like 20-21 at the time so yes, this was like the ultimate dream come true! I told her that there was no possible way that my friend and I would be allowed in to the party by the bouncers. She told me to just have her paged and she would let us in!
I was in Chicago as a guest of my friend and he backed out of the party!!!! Go figure!!!I didn't have the money for cab fare and just had to sit there wondering what I had done to be so close to such a fantasy come true and have it snatched away justlike that! To this day I often wonder if my life would have changed any if I had indeed gone to that Party! Not that I thought I would have got into that industry, just if my outlook on things would have changed.:D

Seriously I gave walking a lot of thought. But we were staying in Gary, Ind. and walking at night through Gary and South side of Chicago didn't seem worth it to a "white boy" like me. Not trying to be racist because I am not, just that........well....I think you understand!

Well.....mine aren't as good as Brangelina, but I met Billy Donovan last year and he was so very nice! I've met Troy Brown, Chad Pennington, Mike Bartrum, and most of the other Marshall players that are in the NFL. I met Raven Symone when I was little and.....drumroll.....I danced with Shawn Michaels at a WWF (I guess WWE, now) event in Huntington when I was like 9, circa 1995. I went to the We Are Marshall premiere and walked past Matthew Fox and Matthew McConaughey, but I didn't talk to them. I was nervous, lol, and they are people too! I've also met Red Dawson; in my eyes, he's pretty famous. I saw Rob Thomas in the airport in Orlando, but I didn't meet him either. I think I need to grow a pair! Can I say that on here?

I've drank moonshine with Brooks on a couple of occasions!
During his college days Joker, Bill Ransdell and Tony Mayes and I were known to hit a few clubs.
My son played video games with Artose Pinner a couple of times at the Hyatt. I remember once when he was like 10-11, we were riding the elevator with Lorenzen and my son looked up at him and said...."So......they call you the Hefty Lefty huh"?
I cracked up and so did 'Lo!

oh yeah Grady is one of the greatest people you can know if you are a UK supporter or just someone who knows him. He is a huge supporter of the program at UK and is a big Brooks supporter. IDK if you remember his sign during the 2006 football season that hung from his sweet that said WE SUPPORT BROOKS when everyone was calling for his head. With people that put money into the program and between barnhardt and the rest of that crew up at UK he was the only one who stuck beside Rich including Swaford(spelling) and everyone else who tailgates with all of us. I am happy to see that you know Grady you know a great person and well he by far has the best tailgating at UK lol. IDK if you tailgated with him much this year but by far his Elvis and John Wayne cut out with Uk T-Shirts was just absolutely classic.

Oh and Caoch Ivan Mcglone

Ivan Koloff- great guy and very personnal
Nikita Kollof- One big Dude, but great guys

The best story i have was drinking Beer with Mick Foley in a bar on Rt 52 in South POint Ohio in our underware, AT THE BAR.. This man was on of the craziest guys I have ever met, well educated but really off the wall. The bet was who would sit in the bar and drink beer the longest without putting on your pants............we took them off when we got in the bar, that was the start of the bet!!!!!!!!!
Well I lasted a while but no where near Mick.....NO SOCKO never appeared thank GOD... This was when he went by Cactus Jack..... He is still a great performer and fantastic guy.

Kevin Maas. Hadn't heard that name in years. A stud that fizzled out quickly. Last I heard, he was in Japan. Wonder if he still holds the record for fewest at bats to get to 10 HR's? Was like 50-60 at bats, I think.

He kinda reminded me of myself back in the day.:cool:

I stalked a lot of famous people in the Pits at Bristol, and got some great autographs, but as far as meeting and talking with anyone famous, the closest I've gotten is Chocolate Meyers. My friend bet me that about 2 people would even know who that was! LOLI talked to Choc the other day on Sirius Nascar Radio.

I guess everyone on here has a "One that got away" story. Mine is I was at the July race at Daytona in 2000. It was like 110 outside before the sun went down. My buddies that went with me were sitting on a curb right near some access gates that went inside the track. I walked into the bathroom and was in there for about 10 minutes waiting in line. While I was in there I heard some people screaming and yelling. After I got out I walked over to my buddies and they were screaming "Dude you just missed it Dale JR just came by on a golf cart and stopped to sign autographs". Needless to say I was a little upset that I missed him.
