Barry Bonds turned down my autograph request at a Kings game one time. He was with Gary Sheffield. His reputation proceeded him so I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to get one so I didn’t take it personally. He wasn’t as mean about it as i was expecting. He just said “sorry, I can’t do that stuff right now”. That was the most negative one I’ve had but it wasn’t really bad. I didn’t hold it against him
Throughout the same game I sat next to Charles Woodson. He was really friendly and cool. So cool that it probably gave me the confidence to approach Barry Bonds.
Met Matthew Perry at a moose lodge my girlfriend at the time was a bartender at. None of the geezers there knew who he was. I guess he was becoming a regular there even though I think he was supposed o be in a transitional phase to clean up since I guess he had drug problems. Was shocked to see him in the are though some famous people buy homes in Granite Bay. I didn’t think they actually lived there. He was nice but definitely seemed like he didn’t want to be recognized. Probably bummed to see younger people at a moose lodge
Mark Cuban, Steve Nash, E-40, Nate Diaz, Dan Severn, Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Dusty Baker, and yes wrestling superstar Virgil were all cool as hell.
i also mentioned in another thread i had met a pre-fame Kayden Kross several times back when I was in high school and she was nice and didn’t seem skanky at all. Don’t know if that counts though
