I do but got a message about having a mod approve it. I just deleted it. Sorry.

Wavy Gravy, Kathy Peck bassist for the Contractions, Danny O'brien drummer for the Avengers. There was also Unk Flotsam but you have to win a kite flying contest to meet him.
I had the pleasure of having lunch with (left to right) Dan Rather http://www.danrather.com/, Peter Van Sant (CBS News) http://www.cbsnews.com/team/peter-van-sant/ and Barry Serafin (ABC News) http://www.cbsnews.com/team/peter-van-sant/. Both Van Sant and Serafin are WSU Cougs.
All of them were visiting my alma mater, Washington State University, for Rather to receive the Edward R. Murrow Award (Murrow was also a WSU Coug) Invalid Link Removed.
I also had the pleasure of talking privately for about 15 minutes with Don Hewitt, the originator and producer of 60 Minutes, when he received the Murrow Award. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/don-hewitt-08-07-1998/
Think I'm proud of those famous broadcasters? You bet!!

There's no room. There's only room for Dirty Lixx clips between Dirty Lixx clips.
Been the guy doing the riders for tons of cool (and not-so-cool-IMO) bands through the years. Sometimes there are strict requests to NOT interact. Most of the time the guys (and gals) that have those requests in their riders actually break that rule on their own. Some have thanked me for actually giving a *%9* about bringing them more than deli meat, cheese and bread. A couple have actually tipped me with memorabilia. One dude (bassist in a band I'm not fond of, but were on their way up) gave me a tuner (brand-spanking new boss chromatic pedal). He had a rackmount, and two of the pedals. I was cleaning the green room after the show and we started talking. When I mentioned that I play, he asked if I had one (I didn't, I use the handheld type) and told me Boss gave him all kinds of stuff, and he had two of almost everything they make. I have gone and bought some pretty strange stuff for riders, too. Lingerie, inflatable pools, food coloring, isopropyl alcohol, and spam among the more interesting. I could drop names, but there's no point. No pics. And BTW, all you NASTY *******, nobody wants to pick up your "special friends' " dirty panties, used syringes and bloody vomit. But on another note, thanks for those of you who leave "roaches" behind, you know who you are....
I met James Garner, James Woods and Piper Laurie on the set of the TV movie The Promise when they filmed it here in Oregon back in the 80's.
Met Dennis Rodman at a party at the Sands about ten years ago- total d-bag.
Met Linus Pauling when I was a student at Oregon State.
