I was reading a thread a few mins ago and someone was talking about something... i dunno, i didnt care too much but then i got this idea..

There's loads of famous people... so at least a few of us must know em?

I know Sacha Baron Cohen [Ali G]

And im good friends with Ronnie O'Sullivan [Former world snooker champion] Me and him play snooker quite alot together.

I've met all 9 members of slipknot, which is fairly rare cos they almost never have all 9 members at gigs

I've met System Of a Down, albeit for 10 minutes

And i know a cuple of people that do TV stuff, like one off shows and shit.

Who do you know?

I used to go to a ton of punk rock shows when I was a teenager, and I've met a few bands, hung out with them smoked with them, drank with them.

I know the members from SNFU, a punk band from Edmonton.

Jugheads Revenge I partied with in their hotel room all night long.

AFI used to come here all the time, when they were actually hardcore punk, and I've hung out with Davey Hovac on a few occasions and Pugot as well, but he was non-talkative.

I used to see these bands everytime they came here and after awhile, they started knowing me by name.

My buddy still has his winter coat when we partied with Jugheads Revenge that they covered in writing. :p He passed out from too much booze and candy and they started writing random stuff on his jacket. Funny stuff and good times.

I see Jay Leno at the Rock Store on Sundays and have pictures of me and him together next to one of my motorcycles that he actually liked because he had one as his first bike but he crashed it. Now he has an 81 but they are not as desireable as the 79.
That is me with the CB1100F shirt and my wife standing next to Jay and my old boss who is a close friend.

That may be so but for a famous personality he has to be the coolest that I have ever met.
The 1st time I met him was by total accident when I knocked him on his ass coming out of a pizza place in Hollywood back in 96. I have ridden with Jay a couple of times and have to say he is the most approachable star out there. He only wants to hang out and show off like the rest of us, very cool.:cool:
He comes up to the Rock Store on a different bike or in a different car every week and is not afraid to show what his vehicle can do.:dance:

I ate dinner last week with Ill Nino, most people wont know this band, but they are famous to me. And I talked to Tom Cruise a couple minutes when he was shooting MI:3 here in VA. The bridge scene is the Chespeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. As for knowing people, im very familiar with DMP, a few local rappers that made it big. But they are gone living the life now. :(

Hey LIP...you know sacha baron cohen?

Dude i love that guy...how do you know him? is he hella chill in rl? what race is he anyways...

He's a great guy, and his whit is perfect, like, everything has a funny twist, but he knows exactly when to do it, and i mean down to the milisecond to make it even funnier!

He's white... He has a bit of a tan but alot of it is make up...

He's really chilled out about everything, and doesnt swear all that much, which is surprising concidering his TV work lol.

Im just a lucky guy to know him, but i've known him for ages now. Well, i say ages, maybe 4 years, it seems like its been ages. I still see him every now and again but alot of his stuff is done in america now so he's not in UK all that much anymore.

Whole cast of emmerdale (shit english program) they filmed on my land acouple of scenes. Mainly footballers worked at a goalies house I forget what he's called tho.

With Neil Young...
I have a lady friend who works with kids with disabilities and Neil puts on a show every year here in San Francisco Bay Area, called , The Bridge Concert.
We were lucky enough to take a group of kids to Neils house to see Neils electric train sets he has set up in his barn. We chatted foe a while, went for a walk, smoked a joint, and he then played a few songs for us, and the kids..

Tony Rice(he played with Jerry Garcia on the, Pizza Tapes cd)
I met his several times. Twice at the , Sweetwater, once at his home, and a couple times at local Bluegrass festivals.

Willie Nelson...
Played at local Bluegrass festivals that he played at, and friends of mine operate the, Fillmore West(san francisco), and i was backstage with him when he invited me on his bus to chat and burn one down. We then went for a walk in the Fillmore district of San Francisco, and drank coffee together.
I have a postcard he sent me from Austin Texas., thanking me for the tour, and the buzz.

Joan Baez..
I am personal friend of her cousin, Peter Baez. I helped him open a Medicinal Cannabis club in San Jose California, in 1996-97. I have been to her house with Peter, and have played guitars with her.

John Ritter(3's company star RIP, son of Tex Ritter, country star).
I met John while he was filming , Hooperman, the tv series. I actually am in one of the series he filmed.

I am also a friend of , Monroe Grisman, the son of David Grisman, well known Mandolinist. We have played together in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury.
David did a lot of music with Jerry Garcia.
Pizza Tapes
Grateful Dawg
Old and in the Way
So What

Todd Snider..
We are best of buddies. We see eachother a few times a year, play some music, get really stoned.
We were just together at the , HardlyStrictlyBluegrass Festival, San Francisco

Mickey Hart...
I have known Mickey for 25 years. I have been to his house, banged a few....drums with him, and am a very good friend of his cousins. W still smoke a lil herb when we cross paths. His cousins and i are neighbors.

I met and had eye sex with Eva Mendez. She was checking me out, (i know it sounds absolutely ridiculous but it happened i swear). She was down in Melbourne shooting Ghost Rider with Nic Cage, and I was working at a restaurant/cafe and i was early for work so i was chilling at one of the tables outside with co workers when i spotted a woman who was sitting inside gazing at me. It wasn't until i walked inside to get ready that i noticed it was Eva Mendes. I had a little chat with her and then a co worker took a picture of me with her. she was smaller in real life. I put my arm around her shoulder for the picture, her right breast was gently squished into my chest. I saw her again once after that first encounter. I never got the chance to meet Nic Cage though.

You know actresses make a living by being flirty. That's how they attract roles and become famous. I have eye sex all the time though. Like I was watching Eva Longoria on TV and she totally looked through the T.V. at me and I thought "oh yea, she wants me." That was good eye sex. So good my eyes had to smoke a cigarette afterwards.

Lol, im an unorthodox Jew, so is he, now, otherwise he'd never be able to get away with all the jew bashing in his shows.

The good thing about him is he doesnt take the piss big time out of other people, he prefers to have people laugh at him, not what he says about others.

Hopefully i'll be seeing him soon.

Baron Cohen was born in Hammersmith, London, England to an Orthodox Jewish family. He is the second of three sons of Gerald Baron Cohen and Daniella Weiser; his father owns a menswear shop in Piccadilly and is originally from Wales, while his mother is a native Israeli of Iranian (Persian) heritage
