dammit I always miss the celebs.
Where do you work?
an electronics store called Circuit City in Newport Beach, CA. Chandler went to high school herein So Cal, but Dominguez is like 30 mins from here.
When celebs go to like a store, do people hound him/her? I remember seeing Yao at Best Buy, not me seeing him in person but they showed him on some video walking around BB, and there was like no one shopping there. All there was were the workers. Do celebs just wait for the right time to go shopping or people in Houston just don't go to BB? Or maybe the video didn't show the people hounding Yao and just kinda sealed off a quick area to get a few clips of him walking around in peace later on. Sorry you missed Chandler.
As for me I've met John Paxson and the old fluffy Benny the Bull back when MJ had his resturant and Space Jam was almost coming out. Jordan had like an event to give away winter coats or something and then a little Space Jam party kinda thing. Too bad Jordan wasn't there himself...
My uncle saw Bob Love at a casino once and got me an autograph and then about two months ago I saw him in person. Didn't really meet, but got Duhon's and Malik Allen's autographs. Johnny "Red" Kerr was like 2 feet away from me and I was so shocked I didnt get to say anything. All I got was a pic of him walking into the UC when I snapped out of it. One year around Christmas I thiiiink I saw Donyell Marshall getting out of a car in front of a fancy resturant. I was ina car driving past but I just saw a big tall black dude and when I saw his face, I thought Donyell Marshall.
Outside of basketball I've shaken hands with Hilary Clinton, and at the same event saw Mayor Daley (Chicago).
Will Farrel filmed parts of Stranger than Fiction at my uni but that was like the year before I started going there. The scenes where he's with Dustin in the halls and his office and when he meets him again at the end, were at my school. I believe the pool is our pool too - but I don't remember. I've been there once and now we have a new pool. From what I've heard from people Will wasn't too friendly but Dustin was cool with everyone.
