OMG Toca loved me!! He kept trying to drink my drink (Red Bull & vodka) Mraz was cracking up. I was like "Toca, I see you eyeing my drink!" It was pretty funny.

I had never drank Red Bull & vodka before that night..after that night Josh made me promise to never drink it again--he said I was talking 90 miles an hour! He said one time when I was telling him something I had to tell him 3 times because he couldn't understand me I was talking so fast--yet I was drunk so it wasn't working out for me.

Let's see to name a few off the top of my head.....
Ray Combs, the guy thats dead that did family fued
Adrian (forget the last name) the guy Robin Williams played in Good Morning Vietnam
Al Snow, wrestler, my brother graduated with one of his step daughters and i know both of them
I forget his name, but the guy that was on China Beach and now you see him on ER, he is that chubby guy

I know there is a few more I have met, but can't think of them.....only cause my dad is asleep and I can't ask him who all he knows that he has introduced me to.

btw don't think i am trying to show off for knowing all these people, cause i didn't create this thread.

I met him! I'm a HUGE fan, and went up to see him in NYC in a reading/rock concert type thing for a new musical called "The Nitpicker" in early December - he only sang one song at the very end, after it was advertised as him "starring" in it... After the show, I went up to him and asked if he would take a picture with me - he said no, there were too many people there. Then I asked if he would sign an autograph, and he told me to "hold on a second" Then he talked to his friends for like fifteen minutes, seemingly with no intention of signing a freaking autograph for me, and I got sick of waiting for him and left. He was really rude about the whole thing, with a "why are you bothering me?" attitude.

So tragically, he's a big jerk. Hot as hell, and mega-talented to boot, but a major jerk in person.

And I was so excited about my Edward story, that I forgot to mention who else I've met... Alan Rickman (really dry and sarcastic and funny, just as you want the Brits to be) and Dame Judy Dench (she's tiny, she's just this little small woman with amazing presence...) and Wilson Cruz (Rickie from My So-Called Life, he was the sweetest), and Adrian Lester (really nice and smart and hot).

I only saw famous people but never approached them. This one time I was at a Virgin Records store up in LA and saw Winona Ryder shopping for DVD's. One of my friends who was with me at the time was sooooooooo in love with her. His friend and I decided to browser for movies right across from her and never talked to her once. But he and I did chat about different movies that we were browsing.

I know one friend who actually met The Rock at a restaurant on my friend's bday. My friend got his autograph and he was so excited because he's a big fan of The Rock.

...but I met Dwight Phillips in Las Vegas last month. He's an Olympic athlete! He was a real sweetheart and definitely not like the other sleazy guys that tried to get on my friend and I. We talked for hours and at first, I wasn't sure if he was telling the truth, so I Googled him when I got home and it was him!

He is the current Long Jump World Champion.

He's the one on the right:

Last Saturday, Hawaii's very own Jack Johnson played to a sellout crowd in a homecoming concert to benefit environmental education. Me and the best friend were lucky enough to get all access tags because one of our bar regulars from work played in one of the opening bands.

Jack and Uncle Willie

I know the pix are kinda blurry, but if I posted the the pix in their original size...they would've been too huge.

Jealous that he's already married because I'd love to have a guy with that kind of voice sing me to sleep...but Kim's such an awesome and sweet lady.

Although I didnt know at the time, but we saw boris kujo (the cutie from soul food)...we saw him at Caribana and we thought he was a football player cuz all the girls were flocking to him..but we had a sit near him and he kept eyeing us :-)..

Dave Matthews. He was wasted. A girl from my house played pool with him all night and then gave him a ride back to the hotel.

Oh yea, and Dustin Diamond (Screetch from Saved by the Bell.) He was still kind of nerdy, but really nice.
