Celebrity Encounter Stories

[n_huffhines]

So my sister lives the high life in NYC, constantly meeting cool people, but it's to the point that I'm getting very jealous.

Her friend works on a few projects behind the scenes with Woody Harrelson. So my sister got to meet him last week. They had a group of friends and got plastered. She had Woody laughing so hard he made his assistant write down the joke. Now she's just texted saying they hung out again this weekend, and this time Will Ferrell was there.

Anybody else have cool stories?

Woody is seriously one of my favorite celebrities. Seems like the real Woody is a laid back, less redneck version of Tallahassee (Zombieland).

I got to meet George Carlin backstage after his act in St. Joe, Mo.

Dated the cousin of Steve Walsh of the band Kansas. She got us backstage passes for their last concert before Steve went solo. Met the group Loverboy, who was the opening act.

I was in NYC staying at the same hotel as the guys the NFL picked to be there for the draft a few years ago. I seen Glen Dorsey posing in the lobby with his #1 Chiefs jersey. Being a lifelong Chiefs fan I introduced my wife and I to him. Turns out he was on the same floor as us. His family and crew were partying pretty hard in the hallway. He seen me and invited us to join them. Good times. Rode the elevator with comedian Henry Cho there too. I asked him "whats that clickin noise?" Told him we were from Knoxville too.
