Wow. That's pretty cool. Despite being attractive and famous she comes across as very down to earth. Always wondered what the heck she was thinking when she married that scum bag Jesse James.Sandy Bullock. I was friends with her in college.
You must know her well if you refer to her as "Sandy." .:jealous:.Sandy Bullock. I was friends with her in college.

My sister has cut his hair a handful of times, once actually at her in-laws (they were out of town and live close to the airport in LA). She said he's kind of a d00sh, but he was cool enough to provide a signed jersey for my kids' preschool auction. I'll probably meet him at some point.pandora said:Tim Tebow

Not sure if this was intended to be schticky, but he signed one of his UF jerseys. As I live in SoCal, it wasn't exactly a super-popular item and the high bid ended up being wayyyy low so I had my dad bid and we won itwhat sport, team and player's jersey did he sign?
he still has jerseys? from college? huh. figured he'd be all out at this point.Not sure if this was intended to be schticky, but he signed one of his UF jerseys. As I live in SoCal, it wasn't exactly a super-popular item and the high bid ended up being wayyyy low so I had my dad bid and we won it

Man, Jeremy Roenick gets around. Saw him mentioned on Page 1 and above.Played poker and had a beer at the table with Jeremy Roenick. He sat on my right. It didn't go well for him.
What a fantastic summer job!8. Got to do a Stevie Ray Vaughan show, and I think it was just a few months before he died. Just a nice dude. I would rarely go out and watch the whole show - I usually had work to do. But I would always go and watch parts of shows. Anyway, on that one I stood on the 9th row center and just stood there, mouth wide open for the whole show. His sound was so loud but pure - I'll never forget that feeling of his music seemingly just pulsating and enveloping the entire venue. My luckiest day to say I got to see that man play. Unreal.
These are just off the top of my head. I saved all of my backstage passes from that era, and have them all laminated at home. I'll need to go through them and see if they trigger any more memories. The greatest job I ever had.
You win the internet.Used to work for a catering company in high school and college. We did all of the backstage catering at the time in the Kansas City area. I worked summers and off and on from about 1985 through about 1995. Can't remember drinking beer with too many people, but had lots of conversations and interactions. We would feed the crews all day, and then the bands would show up for dinner. We were also responsible for their dressing room food and drinks, and then their bus food and drinks for after the show. Here are a few memories:
1. Steve Miller is one of nicest out there. He used to come in the kitchen in the afternoons and just hang out and talk for a couple of hours.
2. I was doing a Grateful Dead show, and they would have guest artists from time to time. At dinner, we had to collect meal tickets from the crew because production only wanted to feed so many people. So I'm standing there at the front of the buffet line, and I'm kind of looking down asking for meal tickets. I asked this one guy, and he says ever so quietly: "I'm in the band." So I look up, and it's Bruce Hornsby. So I said: "Of course. I'm sorry Mr. Hornsby." He was really nice about it. I felt like an idiot.
3. On one of the Van Halen shows when David Lee Roth was with the band, he had his handlers go out in the crowd and pick out his "entertainment" for after the show, if you know what I mean. So he lines up all these girls in the backstage area, and goes down the line one by one and pointing: "You. You. Not You. You. Not You. You."
4. Was working a Whitesnake show, and David Coverdale at the time was married to Tawny Kitaen. He had his own dressing room away from the band, and when he got there he hung DOZENS of pictures of her all around the dressing room. Pretty creepy actually.
5. John Mellancamp's crew would bring along a portable basketball goal for the parking lot. Got to shoot a couple of hoops with Mellancamp and his crew one afternoon.
6. My brother was working a Judas Priest show in the early days - one of the first shows I remember us working. I was probably 15 at the time, so my brother would have been 16 or so. Rob Halford invited him onto the bus for an after party and to go back to the hotel. He refused.
7. Hank Williams Jr would come to town, and it was always a trip to see what would happen next. He was one kind of a hellraiser, and he would be ####-drunk before he showed up at the venue. He and Derrick Thomas of the Chiefs were good buddies, so Derrick would show up with him in the limo drinking and partying. One year, Williams was so ####-faced he went on stage and couldn't remember any words. He was stumbling around onstage, spewing venom, and finally just walked off the stage after maybe 3 songs or so. Crowd starts booing and throwing things and getting pissed. Fans starting storming the gates and the stage. They had to lockdown the backstage area for hours to keep these drunk redneck country cooters from wanting to kick Hank's ###.
