Last night I was at the same movie as....

I get the feeling she smokes a lot of weed.  Also, she's one of those not so hot rocker chicks that I still have a soft spot for.  I talked with her on the phone once.  She seems like a cool chick, but beyond that, not so much.

[chaz]

Jammed with Dave Grohl.  He pretty much destroyed my friends drumset and tried to give him some money to replace the broken sticks and drumheads.  I've hung out with him a few times...he's a really nice and funny guy.
 
 Met Michael Stipe at a bar in Philly after their show at whatever the 20,000 seat arena up there is called.  They were touring with Grant Lee Buffalo at the time and came by the club after their show to see the Railroad Jerk.  The club stayed open til 3 or 4 hosting an after hours impromptu jam with members of all 3 bands.  Not really a huge fan of either but it was still pretty cool for some dumb reason.
 
 I worked with Patti Smith's brother Todd, the one who died the same year that her husband Fred died. (Sid Vicious's last arest was for attacking Todd in NY, when released from jail he od'd and died)..
 
 Tripping on acid in the Gwar art studio was fun about 15 years ago too..

I was sitting next to James Van Der Beek (this blonde Dawson's Creek dude) at Cosi's in Bethesda some time last year..

I bet Bethesda is the new Hollywood.  My friend totally saw Hillary Duff and Joel Madden dining in Mon Ami Gabi a few months ago...
 
 
 (most likely because Joel's sister works at Hugo, but shhhh)

I'm trying to think of all the famous people I've met over the years...here's a list off the top of my head:
 
 Mike Ditka
 Jessie Camp (the scuzzy MTV VJ...at a roadside stop in Ohio somewhere)
 Alec Baldwin
 James Earl Jones
 Charles Durning
 Selma Blair
 Ahmet Zappa
 Chris Issac
 Tom Selleck
 Dolly Parton
 Woody Harrelson
 John Waters
 Dave Thomas (Wendy's guy, not Pere Ubu...though I met him too)
 
 I know there's more but I'm blanking on them. In DC it's pretty hard not to run into celebs at some point.

Oh yeah, earlier this year I was sitting on the plane next to Jeff "Skunk" Baxter from the Doobie Bros, Steely Dan, Linda Ronstadt, etc. All I could do was think of snorting coke off with Stevie Nicks off a glass piano or something. He was cool as hell though...we ended up talking for like 2 hours.

i think a true namedropper is someone who tries to make ppl think they r hot shit b/c they are associated in some way w famous ppl. i dont think i see anyone doing that here. in my case i like to bring the ppl ive met down to earth in most cases. besides, in this town it's no big deal.
 
 - cngrmn moran [va ] likes to ogle big-breasted staff women.
 
 - 100 yo senator Strom Thurmond used to fart in his staff's office.

There's Hoya, hittin' the nail right on the head.  She is such a celebrity name-droppin' whore.
 
 Anyway, couple of weeks ago ran into Mike Myers in a NYC coffee shop.  Had to ask him about being cast as Keith Moon. He said he's nervous and is practicing the drums for hours each day.  He asked me if I was a fan of the Who, I said a big one, and he said, "Do you think I made a mistake?  Are Who fans going to rake me over the coals?"  He seemed sincere and not doing that fake self-deprecating thing that celebrities do sometimes.

Dave Grohl in Dulles Airport the night before the Tibetan Freedom Festival.  He came by himself to pick up some friends.
