Met Dave Chapelle at Mellow Mushroom in Asheville. He's just a regular guy...I was waiting for him to go "I'm Rich Biatch!" but he was just at the bar, drinkin. Couldn't mistake that voice from across the room. Just said what's up, whatcha doin in Asheville (vacationing)

That's about it besides some athletes who I don't consider as famous.

I've known the Labonte's (Bob, Terry and Bobby) for years. I originally met them when they were with Hagen Racing in the early mid 80's. At that time my Dad was a distributor for Mac Tools. In the 80's they had to buy their own tools. He had just started and began to call on the mechanics there. This was before big sponsors were throwing everything at the teams to get their name on the sides of the cars. Most tool men @ the time didn't want to call on racing crews because they would run up big bills before moving on to other teams leaving guys like my Dad with the debt. My Dad was the exception. He was the only one to call on Hagen's Piedmont Airlines team. He became good friends with all those guys and they appreciated it.

When my Dad retired Bob would call Dad about 3-4 times per month to check on him. And when dad passed away not only did the family send flowers, Bob, Terry and Bobby showed up for the funeral. They came by the house afterward and talked to our family and told us how much dad's trust in them when they were starting up and his friendship meant to them. That family is a class act in every way and I will never forget it.

Also my wife and I went to a Braves game in the 70's. While we were there I was using a cheap camera and wanted to take closeup's of the players on the field. i asked the usher if i could go down front to take them. He said he would have to ask Mr. Turner as this was his section. He asked and not only did I get to take the pictures he allowed my wife and I to move down and sit in the seats right behind him. That was pretty cool.

Hung out with Staind backstage after their show at Tremont in 2000. The lead singer Aaron Lewis stayed after the rest of the band went to the bus to hang out and smoke my weed.

I was an extra in a movie with Katey Segal, I had a scene with her where I spilled coffee on her and had a couple of lines, but they ended up on the editing room floor. I still got a couple of scenes with short lines.

I don't consider these guys celebrities but I spent a day shooting a commercial with Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Terry Labonte, and Brian Vickers.

My dad was all excited last week when he got to hang out with Wesley Walls.
