My best friend growing up got to hang out with Boyd from Dave Matthews after a political thing in DC

I met Pippi Longstocking when I was little

The best man in my daughter's wedding (this past Saturday 22 May :) was Jordan Spence the drummer for Index Case http://www.indexcase.com/. They have a contract with Elektra records and a couple videos on MTV2. They are pretty good in a heavier metal genre. (Remember Slipknot is from Des Moines :eek:

My cousin's son (Jacob Reitz) is working hard to break into Hollywood and TV. He has had some small parts on a number of sitcoms, nothing overly remarkable yet...but he is just really starting.
