I know that these are not unexpected encounters... but none the less they were some of the most interesting people that I have met.

When I was in college I served on a speakerseries committee. We were responsible for bringing political figures and celebs on campus to address certain issues. Some of most memorable encounters were:

Maya Angelo, She was very nice and called me honey a couple of times.

Spike Lee, What an A-hole.He was very arrogant and rude. I also saw him and John Singleton having a bucket of wings at Legends in LB.

Lelani Trask (Hawaiian Activist),I got to pick her up from the airport. She is an amazing woman and a wealth of knowledge about Polynesian history.

Angela Davis, Very brief and noninterested in talking to us as students. I kept wanting to call her foxy brown.

Marcia Clark, She was waiting for a pool table at the Blue cafe. I offered her mine. This nieve chick came up to her and asked about the Menendez Brothers case.

Swap meet encounters:

Leonardo DeCaprio, I met him at Mark Ryden's art opening in Pasedena and also at the Glendale toy show. cool guy

Crispon Glover (SP?), I sold him a red rottery phone.

Tori Spelling, I sold her a uke.

Shirley Jones, she bought a copy of the Partridge family game (no lie).

Pamela and Tommy Lee shopping at rosebowl. After the 3rd break-up.

Cheers
