Who is the most famous person with whom you have had a beer? (2 Viewers)

Never really said much to him, but I've seen Dennis Rodman at my local dive bar (and another spot) at least 4-5 times over the past 20 years.  Usually quiet/keeps to himself or just talks to the bartender.

Tailgated with beers, of course (and watched the game from said tailgate) with Jesse Plemons (Landry) and Zach Gilford (Saracen) of Friday Night Lights fame at UT back in 2010ish.  Both cool/normal guys.  

One of my best friends is cousins with Matthew Lillard.  We've been planning a night out (he's supposedly cool as eff) for the past 15 years or so. :lol:  

Biggest "doh" moment of my life, quite possibly, was when I was invited by a good dorm friend who just so happens to be Adam Sandler's cousin to go out with him/her after he did a comedy tour stop at our college.  He was just barely an SNL star and I apparently had a midterm the next day, but what in the eff was I thinking? :shrug:

I've got a decent list:

- Paul Wasileski (stage name Paul Wesley, childhood friend)

- Mike Sorrentino (we were close buddies back in the day)

- Kevin Ogletree bought me a drink a few months back at Strip House

- Rod Gilbert

- Laura Prepon

- Fergie (right before they blew up, I was hanging at a house party in Manhattan and smoked weed and drank with all of them)

- Fat Jew (used to smoke weed / drink with him a bunch, was friends with 'Team Facelift' in the early 2000's before they were famous)

Black Eyed Peas like to hang out, for sure. They were hitting up the local clubs in MA after a performance. Fun people. Too bad they had just blown up and Fergie started demanding appearance fees for stuff like that.  

 
Don't remember his name but this most interesting man once offered to buy me a Dos Equis. I told him no thanks.

 
Paul Kariya and Steve Rucchin. Dinner and drinks. 

Family of Steve Thomas after Game 7 of Ana-NJ Cup final. Great hockey stories.

and............

@Zow

 
The Navy likes to bring these has-beens on board the carriers for "morale".  Couldn't drink, obviously, but had an interesting conversation with Gallagher on the smoke pad.  Dude was a chain smoker and always trying to be funny.  He wasn't often successful.

Same circumstance with the guitar player for Quiet Riot.  I don't know his name.  They got flown off for smoking pot in their state room.

Lots of other "celebrities" came on board, but I never paid attention.  Couldn't care less about em. 

 
1984 - Had a wonderful dinner and many beers with Vincent Price. He loved St. Paulie Girl. Also had glasses as thick as the bottom of original Coke bottles.

 
went to HS and hung for a while with Courtney Thorn Smith- drank and smoked a bit fo sho.

another HS friend has become a super-star artist, Mark Grotjahn.

80s actress Megan Ward is the wife's best friend.

my best friend from college opened a bar/lounge in NYC right out of school that was the spot for a long while. Hung out with him and a lot of celebs- either at the bar or dinner/bar or parties... these are all people I spent at least one evening with, talking and hanging and drinking/smoking.

I've told my Frederique story too many times, but her.

otherwise, top of my head: Elle Mcpherson, Christie Turlington, Metallica (entire band and the cockeyed melrose place chick who was dating one of them), Elizabeth Berkley, Val Kilmer, Robert Downey Jr, Jean George Vongerichten, Nelson Mandela

eta: forgot one of my clients is a movie producer/director husband and wife... smoked and drank a bit with him

Gwen Stefani just as they were starting to get popular. Ended up sitting side by side alone on a curb after a show drinking a couple heineken and chatting for a while. Super cool chick. Ended up getting up and walking away to hang with the the other band (who I was there to see).

The Red Hot Chili Peppers a couple of times.

Tim Pawlenty (is he famous?)

Craig Finn and Franz Nicolay of The Hold Steady twice.

My favorite story: I had recently moved to Denver and a friend of mine and I went to see a Wild-Avs game.  The Wild lost pretty badly and we went to the sports bar near the Pepsi Center for a beer but quickly wanted to get out of there since it was just jam packed with happy Avs fans.  We went downtown and found LoDos for a rooftop beer.  We had been sitting at the bar for a little while and she was still up in arms about the Wild's play.  We didn't even notice the guy sitting next to her.  He turns and says something like "So, you two are Wild fans huh?"  She explains that we were both from Minnesota and he pipes up with "Surprised you don't recognize me."

"Why would I?" She snapped back.

"I'm Wes Walz."

She didn't miss a beat but I could tell she was a little embarrassed. "You played like #### tonight.  What's your excuse?"

He paid for our beers and we had a great hour or so of conversation.  Really nice guy.  

 
Lots of Lightning players back in the late 90's

Paul Ysebaert used to steal smokes from me when I went to the bathroom. I think it was Cory Cross that ratted him out.

 
A buddy and I were having some beers a few hours before a Spoon show at a bar in Salt Lake and Britt Daniel sat down and drank with us for a half hour.  Real nice guy.

 
Kirk Gibson - he sat at our company's table for dinner during a charity event for which he was the keynote speaker.  He was pretty quiet but did tell a story about getting in a fight with a teammate in the locker room while with the Dodgers. 

 
WB's post made me remember that Matt Dillon on three separate occasions tried to steal my date (out at clubs, each time)... just swooped in with a "hi" and started talking to them, ignoring me, before asking if they wanted to head out somewhere else. had numerous insider friends insist he was gay... but sure didn't come across that way.

 
I've met a fair amount of celebrities, my biggest thrill was patting Roberto Clemente on the back after the team returned from the 1971 World Series, but I never had a beer with one.

I have a buddy that is a DJ on local morning radio show so that is about it.   :kicksrock:

 
Sorta drank a beer with John Elway.  Was at a concert with 2 buddies and we're in the concourse to get beers.  John Elway comes into the concourse at the same time and we walk up to him.  First thing out of his mouth is, "NO PICTURES!"  My buddy, being a big Elway fan, says, okay, I just wanted to shake your hand, tell you you're 1 of the greatest to ever play the game and buy you a beer.  So Elway shakes his hand and lets my buddy buy him a beer.  We all clink glasses, take a swig of beer and Elway heads back to his seat.

Honestly, Elway was a little cold, which I can often understand.  But in this case, the concert was part of a promotion with a football game so Elway was actually there "for work" so I thought he would have been cooler about mingling with fans. Anyway, it did provide us with a fun opportunity after the concert as the crowd is all heading out into the connected casino.  We end up behind Elway and by now we have a lot more beers since that one with Elway, so we loudly yell out, "HEY, ISN'T THAT BRETT FAVRE?!"

Saw his 3000th & last hit. His real one on Friday, aaaand, his realreal one on Sunday. Visited my uncle in Squirrel Hill (who i used to watch Pirate games @ Forbes Field with from his office in Cathedral of Learning) as a hippie hitchhiker and he told me that Bobby was going for 3000 that nite. Me, him & famous-director-now gay cousin piled into the wagon and went down to that cement spaceship they used to play in. Clemente comes up in the first and smashed one the 2b barely knocks down and beats it out. We go nuts but then the scorer put up E4. Goes hitless the rest of the night, same Saturday. Uncle figures Aunty wont let us go again but we both give her the puppies-at-the-doggy-door mope all Sunday morning and she says, 'get outta here" and we went and he got it 2nd up i think and then................one of the very greats.

 
around 2005 a group of us were in Vegas hanging by the pool, and Sebastian Bach was in the cabana next to us. we sent over a bucket of Coronas, and he waived us over. hung out for about 30 minutes drinking beers. nice enough guy. 

Motley Crue came to Fresno in 1999, and after the show we headed across the street to the Raddison. four of us sitting at a table drinking beers and Vince Neil comes stumbling/staggering into the bar with a barley-dress groupie hanging all over him. he comes over to our table and flops down in a chair, pulls out a Budweiser from his pocket, fires up a cigarette (the smoking ban in CA had just been widely implemented) and says, "Hey ####ers! How'd you like the show!?" we proceeded to order another round of drinks, and Vince's chick basically dry-humped him while we BS'd. after a few minutes, a couple of police officers walk in and come over to us. one cop tells Vince, "You can't smoke in here." Vince, taking a long pull off his Marlboro, replies, "Yeah, well what are you gonna do about it?" [groupie still grinding all over him, mini-skirt hiked well past her hips, butt fully exposed]. cop takes a second, looks around the room which was fairly empty, and says, "I'll have to write you a ticket." Vince puts out his smoke, chugs the rest of his beer, and walks out with the groupie still attached.

 
The "sort of" description is a good one for mine. 

1. Drew Stanton (and Ryan Lindley) - was caddying for my BIL in a Pro/Am golf tournament.  He was on Stanton's team (with Lindley caddying for Stanton).  We all grabbed beers are the turn. Cool guys; especially Lindley.  Stanton was a bit standoffish and wasn't happy that he was probably the worst golfer in the group (and was irked when I tried to tell him he was reading a putt wrong - and it turned out I was right) but was a good dude.  

2. Ralphie May -  Wound up next to him at a bar in Laughlin, NV after his show.  Awesome guy.  I explained the background of the beer he was drinking and how it was re-marketed swill. 

3. Nick Chinlund (this guy: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0157915/?ref_=tt_cl_t13 ).  Played poker with him for quite a long time at Mandalay one time and we had a beer together.  Great guy. 

4. BB King - After his show after at an Indian casino in Minnesota.  He wound up next to us at a blackjack table. Didn't say much. 

I did take a drunken piss next to Allen Iverson once (he appeared drunk too).  I don't think that counts.

kinda of off topic...but my wife knows some people who lived next door to Adam Sandler  in college. They hated him, called him "annoying Adam" and would go out of their way to avoid him....whoops, good call. lol

Is this the thread where EG comes in here and tells us the story when he partied with Jani Lane from Warrant? Damn I miss Story Time with EG.

That thread/story is still there. I've met a ton of famous people but the only one I sat and drank with for an extended period of time will be detailed in the fourth and final chapter of the Vegas Chronicles. That story and 2 others are probably the last three long stories I'll share in that thread, beyond that will likely just be a few vignettes here and there if and when something sparks a memory. 

I did burn one with Sebastian Bach and have done shots with Page Hamilton from Helmet on multiple occasions but nothing really story-worthy. 

 
Ben Stein during the height of "Win Ben Stein's Money" on Comedy Central. It was during network upfronts and I was very loaded. I made him give me $20.

 
Hung out with Toni Kukoc for several hours one night in Sacramento the night before a Bulls-Kings game. Multiple beers, shots of Jager, and cigars until about 3:30 AM.  The next night I sat next to Robert Parish's brother at the game, was really cool to talk Celtic-Lakers stories with him.  Meanwhile, Kukoc struggled from the floor a bit that night for some reason.

I had a shot with Beetlejuice from the Stern show, and my buddy smoked out with him.  Conversation wasn't real deep there.  "Who me?"

 
My wife dealt Blackjack to Toby Keith about 20 years ago.  He was in town for a concert.  He asked if she liked country music.  She's like "nope."  Had no clue who he was.  Tipped her $20 when her shift ended.  

I dealt craps to Mickey Redmond.  He seemed pretty much like you'd think.  

Aaron Tippin was another country singer I helped guide through our casino.  He was a little fella.  

Also met Spike Lee once.  I thought he was a kid at first he's so small.

Most famous is probably an attorney at former firm that won't be named.

The first time I got drunk was in Clay Travis's dorm room back in the day. He may qualify as famous now that he has a national radio show.
