I know who Travis Ford is, too
Though sorry, UK fans...I didn't like him-hehe. I grew up rooting for IU.
Famous people:
-Puck, David, Melissa, and Nathan from the Real World spoke at BG for a Dance Marathon fundraiser and Steering Committee got to hang out with them afterwards. David and Nathan were very cool.
-Violent Femmes
-Antonio Daniels (did play for the Spurs, I'm not sure if he still does)
-Alan Jackson and Diamond Rio
-Kyle Petty (race car driver) had a lakehouse next door to my grandparents
-The guys from O.A.R.
-Assorted Cincy Reds and Bengals
The two best:
-Mark McGwire-the bar I used to work at in Cincy was frequented by Reds players after games. I used to chat with Sean Casey and his wife, and jokingly told them if they brought in Mark McGwire (whom I LOVE) I'd buy their dinners for the rest of the season. Sure enough, they brought him in with them the next time they played the Cards at home. Not paying any attention (Mark had his back to me) I walk up, say something obnoxious to the table as usual, and then said (classically), "Holy shit, you're Mark McGwire." Great first impression
Anyhow, he was totally cool, gave me a hug when they left (yeah!) and signed autographs for us.
-George Clooney. Yes ladies, I've sat on his lap! Granted, I was seven, but hey...LOL. When he was on the "Facts of Life" we were touring a studio his dad was shooting in on a field trip, and George was there. My best friend and I freaked out, being the little TV junkies we were, and had a picture taken with him. I had totally forgotten about it until my old teacher found the pic a few years ago and hung it up in her class. My little cousin told me about it, so I had to go get a look. Damn, if I had only known...Sigh
