    I'm lucky.. a few of my ex girlfriends have worked in music industry and one set up the national comedy festival some 15 years ago.. and I got front seat at every show and backstage afterwards.. I met every major comedian in Australia back then.. some were then unknown and now very famous too..

    My favourite was this Canadian guy weho had riden his bike all across USA and was now doing the rest of the world.. after the show which he headlined, he was on his bike.. and since we were with the club staff we took him to Kings Cross afterwards for some beers.. and one of the girls ended up going home with him too.. lucky him she was only like 17 at the time..

    I once climbed Norm McDonalds DC-8 which he had at Euston Park Airport around 20 years ago.. I was just a kid and my dad was president of a flying club and we would fly out of there but on that day me and my lil brothers went "cruising" we were around 10 years old.. and we spotted his plane as it had his head painted across it complete with the patches he used to wear on his face.. and we climbed up the tail.. held onto the guy wire and entered through the sunroof.. we then played in it for nearly an hour until the airtport police came and took us away.. if you see him ask him if he still has his blue DC-8 with his face painted on it.. tell him I've been in it.. cheers

    I've met William Beckett, Mike Carden, and Michael Guy Chislett from the Academy Is..., Martin Johnson from Boys Like Girls, Shaant Hacikyan and Jeff Czum from Cute Is What We Aim For, Travis Clark from We The Kings, Johan Carlsson and Chad Wolf from Carolina Liar, and Cassadee Pope and Jersey Moriarty from Hey Monday. I don't know how many people have heard of them, but they are big in the punk rock industry. All of them were super nice, too!

    I went to a comedy club in Long Island, NY once in the 80's and caught Andrew Dice Clay before he became known........I know he was really raw but I have to say I never laughed so much in my life......at the time most of what he said was shocking but downright hilarious although some of it crude.

    Yes, local comedians where I live after their live performances. What a riot! One comedian, I was so surprised to meet him b/c he was just so quiet and didn't have much to say.... he said he is actually a SHY person, and his personality on stage was just that, a stage persona. Go figure!

    Pablo Fransisco, I didn't actually have a conversation with him, he lives(or lived, don't know about now) in casa grande arizona, I was out there at a store and saw him. I think I said hi, and he replied with a polite hey hows it going or something like that.

    Pablo was on mad tv also, but didn't have any real big parts.

    I met Louie Anderson in an elevator at Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City while I was on my way to see his show.

    Pretty nice guy.
