I've met and chatted with the lead singer (s) of Opeth, Eagles of Death Metal, Broken Social Scene, Dinosaur Jr. (J Mascis), members of the New Pornographers, and the bass player of Green Day. I've had my picture taken and interviewed for my local paper, been on the radio and been on the news. Not much but it's a little rush of excitement. All from working in a record store.

I saw him at a small gig, probably 150 people were there. He played one hell of a good show, pretty loud crowd. The show finishes, and after a couple of minutes, he just awkwardly walks out from the backstage and out the front door, nobody even tried to say a word to him, he just walked out and left. Pretty spaced out dude. Seems like a cool bloke though.

Tell me more....

I used to listen to Opeth in highschool (like 6 years ago) but lost interest. Dunno him and one other band member (Per I think?) were shopping, Mikael bought a Bob Dylan record, some folk record and a Jeff Martin cd (lead singer of the band the Tea Party). I was all 'who da fuck is this crazy viking guy' until I read the name on his credit card and realized who he was. He was really friendly and probably spent about an hour in the store. Really friendly.

Pretty spaced out dude. Seems like a cool bloke though.

Definitely spaced out. My shop doubles as bong store and there was a can of butane in the display case and he was all 'what's that?' and I said 'Butane' "Oh..." staring at it in wonder for about 30 seconds. Then he bought a copy of Grateful Dead's American Beauty. Weird as hell.

my uncle was a professional football (american) player for the new england patriots
i used to take kevin smith's grocery orders during my shitjobs period in LA (we even fucked up his order during a hectic time, and he wasn't bothered to much by it, nice man) he'd even come in person to the shop..although he didn't realize that i was the lovely lady taking his orders over the phone. still though, were basically best buds.

I don't really have any good ones I can think of, I met Youngsta though. Now everytime he's in Belgium we meet up.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first I knew about it was when a massive geezer almost knocked me off the bench I was sharing with this chick I was kind of seeing at the time... turned around to give a slightly "could've said excuse me.." look and it was Josh fucking Homme, so we offered him up... tbh, Emily did most of the talking... didn't seem fair to stifle her one good shot at nailing a rockstar. Sadly she failed. And I succeeded.

Where was this at Dour? Camp site, festival site? Also you and some other UK ninjas should come to Dour once.

Got to hang out with Deadmau5, Spor, Ewun, and Subfocus at the afterparty after last Ultra (my friend has known Spor since he was first signed to lifted). We were all sitting at a booth that had a $20,000 minimum to reserve.
Back in the day Lars Fredriksen from Rancid brought me on stage and pronounced me his wife.
I waited on John Gossling (former star of John and Kate plus

at my old restaurant.
I met Ashlee Simpson before she got really famous (and then got really unfamous really quickly). My buddy was being threatened by her bodyguards as he was trying to best to come off like a stalker.
Apparently (this is what my mom tells me, I have yet to do the research for myself), my great great (or maybe 3 greats?) grandfather was vice president of the United states to the first Roosevelt.

Back in '92 on Jack Kerouac's birthday I got to hang out with Allen Ginsberg and participate in a small and intimate group meditation that he lead.

I also discussed the modern poetry scene at the time with him for a bit one on one.

At the time it was a rather trivial experience. Looking back on it after near 20 years I am humored by how profound of an impact this evening had on my artistic development over the years.

I live pretty close to Cate Blanchett. Seen her shopping twice.

Had a good chat with Silkie the last two times he has come to Australia.

Chat with Tristian from Truth a little bit on facebook after chatting at a gig.
