I met Savini at some cons a couple times and he seemed nice. He stopped by my booth once in Chicago and was checking out the replica of the Kabuki Sickle. He seemed to really get a kick out of it.
I met Chili from TLC at an Atlanta dance club once. A dancer there introduced us while we were all on the dance floor in the VIP room  |

I had drinks with Bruce Willis in a bar in the French Quarter, New Orleans. Nice guy.
Bumped into Harrison Ford at a hotel in Arlington, TX. Asked him what he was doing there, and he said he was buying a new helicopter from Bell. I asked him for a ride home because my car was broke-ass. He was kinda gay.
My old band jammed with Dave Matthews and his band at a bar in Alabama once just because. Everybody kept laughing at me because I'd try to throw Beastie Boys lyrics into the songs, and they always lost it when I said, "I'm just gonna put my dick in the mashed potatoes!"
To this day, I swear if I ever see William Shatner someplace, I'm going to ask him to adopt me.

I used to work part-time at the Brentanno's in Century City, and saw/met a LOT of celebs.
I don't know if this counts as weird, or just lame...
This guy came to the counter with a stack of comics, and I noticed that he had DK2 part 1. I asked if he knew part 2 was out, and he got really excited. By this time, I thought he looked a bit familiar, but I wasn't sure I was talking to who I thought he was. Anyway, instead of going over to the shelf to get the book for him, like we were trained to, I just pointed, and told him that it was the book with the (blue? red?) spine. He rushed over and got it, and I rang up his transaction. I looked at his gold American Express card, and yup...
I just told Cuba Gooding, Jr. to go fetch a comic book. _________________ --

While working for Minnesota Public Radio I used to run into lots of celebs who were coming in for interviews/recording sessions. Here's some:
I told Kris Kristopherson (sp?) that he had 'nice jeans' as he got onto the elevator (they were filthy...god bless 'em).
Caught Garrison Keillor getting some kissy-face with his then-girlfriend/now-wife in the basement parking garage. When he saw me I gave him a thumb's up signal and he turned beet red.
Other Non-MPR-related celeb encounters:
Drank beers with Gerhard (of Cerebus fame) this April (after the SPACE con) and got him to admit what his last name is (I'm sworn to secrecy on this one).
Ran into Senator Norm Coleman (while he was still Mayor of Saint Paul) at a local watering hole. He's the kinda guy that when he's shaking your hand he'll also grab your elbow. When he did this to me I told him that it 'tickled' and that I thought he was 'cute'...he walked away. He didn't find my joke funny.
Minor local politician fellow was running for a seat in the City Council and was stumping door-to-door. He arrived at my home and I just so happened to be sitting on my front-steps reading the paper. We talked for a while and he gave me a pamphlet with his propaganda in it. I scanned it and took note of his wife. She was pretty damn hot...so I told him he had my vote because (and I quote myself) "You have a damn sexy wife, Lee."

I wrote Alex Ross this song:
He was sittin’ there, his brush in hand
Paintin’ Supes as he flies, over the land
With every stroke, he brought to life
The fight of the JLA, against the evil guy
I asked him if he only painted DC scenes
He said for a few dollars, I’ll paint you anything.
Chorus:
Could you Paint Me A Spiderman
He can do what a spider can
Have his villians swarmin' all around
In the air and then on the groundHave him swingin' from over headSpandex suit, classic blue and red
Have his webs shootin' from his hand
If you can Paint Me A Spiderman.
He looked at me, with knowing eyes
Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side
Picked up a brush, and heard him say
Now, Just where in this picture, would you like MJ
I said if there’s any way you can
Could you paint her swung back to safety again.
[Chorus]

I've got plenty of odd moments.
The one that stands out is this one..
WWF (yes it was still f back then) wrestler Owen hart was walking to the ring.
We had ringside seats (it was a house show) so my wife was getting close up shots of all the wrestlers.
So anyway she's trying to get a pic and he is at an odd angle and won't look our way.
So she screams out 'Hey Asshole!'
and he turns and gives her the most evil look ever. I mean ever. So she took the picture. Looks like he's about to murder us.
Two nights later he's dead.
True story.
At the same show a friend of mine almost got the shit kicked out of him by Billy and Bart gunn. They were hugging because they just won, about five feet away from us. So he screams out Fags! and they turn around and start coming toward him. Sonny backed them off, but for a second there I thought he was going to get the living shit kicked out of him.
Bruce Campbell called me a lounge singer once.
Lou Ferrigno (the old Hulk) got so drunk at Wizard world chicago a couple years ago at the Hyatt that he passed out on a smaller guy. I'm pretty sure he smooshed him.
Another lou story. My friend had a camcorder recording all the celebrites. We get to Lou and he asks if the camera is on, of course we say no.
So we turn around and start to look at other stuff. Meanwhile we point the camera back behind us to check out Lou.
When we got home we checked out the footage. He's looking around all nervous. The he starts digging at his nuts. Deep digging, for a good 15 seconds.
I have footage of the Hulk scratching his junk.
That is what you'd call weird. _________________ Buy Gwailo#1 here

Bill Cosby laughed at me, because I was drunk, lying on the ground wearing a leather coat in 98 degree weather.

Okay, I swear I wish there was more to the Lemmy story, but I was doing a phone interview with him for my radio station, and there was all this noise in the background. He really just stopped his train of thought, and said something to the effect of, "In case you're wondering what all this noise is, I'm not beating up a kindergardner." Then he just went on with his thought. Weird. Another funny thing about that call was that he told me he onece sang "Eight of Spades" for a year and no one noticed.
I guess I caught Savini on his one bad day. I don't hold it against him, but he was one of the celebs at the comic con I was most eager to meet. Oh well, I don't begrudge him. How could I be mad at a mustache like that?
On the same day Savini ignored me, I met GWAR. The funny thing is, when I first met them, I met them out of costume, so I had no idea. They looked like guys just setting up the castle while GWAR got ready (except Techno Destructo, he's pretty obvious). Sunshine Dan and I start talking to these guys, and they never let on. About twenty minutes later, we realize we've been talking up Oderus Urungus and Jizmak da Gusha. I have a pic of myself dressed as Beefcake the Mighty.
Myself, the aforementioned Sunshine Dan (radio co-host of hosts), and Fred Durst were busting out lyrics to the Korn/Bizkit song "All in the Family" half a year before it was released backstage. this was so long before they were famous, and still pretty cool.
Vanilla Ice has a poster of himself looking like a saint ascending to Heaven, surrounded by big tittied angels. I know this because my birtjday present in 1998 was meeting him after a show. This was when he was doing metal. He was a pretty nice guy. There was someone very, very stoned on the couch in his tour bus. _________________
