I am LOVING this thread, this is AWESOME! Mine are:

-- 1990, Century City Mall in LA: gave my table at the food court to Jerry Seinfeld. It was his first season (I think) so I didn't know who he was until my friend pointed it out afterward. "Are you done with your table?" "yeah dude, go for it"

-- Maury Povich. Ahem.

-- Got a picture of Gorilla X with Marilyn Manson. Also with No Doubt. Pics are on gorilla-x.com.

-- Trader Vic's Beverly Hills, circa 1998: saw both Pauly Shore and the blonde daughter from "Too Close For Comfort" there at the same time (but not together). I haven't been back since. Oh, and after a bunch of drinks, Pauly careened off in a giant BMW, like a 700 series or something.

-- Saw John Waters speak last December. I was with Frenchy Polynesia. She loves him; I'm ambivalent. The next morning, he and I backed into each other, Scooby Doo style, in Amoeba Records on Haight. I called her to tell her... she was jealous.

-- My favorite one lately: I got to meet Captain Sensible (from The Damned) a couple weeks ago. He was a TOTAL dick to me. But he's a washed-up, old fogey now. Gone are the days of peeing on fans (Bamboo Ben has a story about that, I think... he was present, I mean, not that BB got peed on)-- anyway, gone are those days. Instead, he now goes off on explanations about how lots of Subway restuarants are starting to toast their sandwiches now, due to the success of Quiznos.

My fave stories in this thread so far: TikiBot, you should have kicked Robin Williams's ass. I can't stand that jackass! I secretly pray for a gig where I'm gorillacizing at some function he's at, and I will just go and kick his ass good... and everyone will think it's being staged so they won't jump in to save him. God I hate that guy!! AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH must...control... self....

And Larry Lava: MaryLava RULES!!! I NEED to tell you guys my Hasselhoff story sometime.
