I've had a few run ins here and there. Semi-dated a player from PSU's basketball team the year after they did work in the tourney in 2004. Wasn't serious at all, but it was annoying as hell how connected athletes are to their phones and schedules.
My wild cousin(girl) has gotten me backstage to a bunch of concerts. She just has that attitude that seems to get noticed by bands and their people. Funniest one was hanging with this one band (finally remembered it was Puddle of Mud) backstage at the 9:30 club with my cousin and they're all drinking Jack out of the bottle and serenading the girls with acoustic guitars and playing this really low key cool kind of vibe. Everyone is laughing and telling jokes and it seems to be a genuinely good vibe all around when one of the band members gets super serious out of nowhere and goes "Ok, when the **#$ are we gonna get our d___ s_____ed?!" and then the rest of the band gets serious too. I just remember feeling all kinds of awkward for the girls back there who probably thought they were no longer on the hook for these antics after some campfire stories. Needless to say, I went back out to the main floor and my cousin stayed behind lol. She wound up getting the lead singer's number and they still text quite a bit. She has a weird relationship with someone in Linkin Park too, but I dunno to what extent. I feel bad for her son because they go to LP shows every time they're around and she disappears backstage while leaving he and his friends out on the floor.
One of my favorites was when my friends and I ran into Hasim Rahman and his crew at Lexington Market what must have been hours (or maybe a day) after his fight with Holyfield. I got a crabcake from Faidleys and I'm waiting for my friends to come up to eat (they were at Parks). My one boisterous friend comes up and says he just saw that boxer getting some Jamaican food and dude looks like he's got a tumor on his face. I had to see it in real life, so I go to get up to find him and he and his boys sit about six tables away from us. My friend goes over to him and gives him props for repping Baltimore and such and then goes "Yo, why you gonna let Evander headbutt you like that? I'd have kneed him in the balls if he did that to me!" He and his boys laugh, but Rahman kind of looks down and you could tell he was disappointed with how things worked out, but it just looked so damned strange on him with that caveman looking face.
Also stopped at Pilot after high school one day and saw Wu Tang's bus there and hung out with them for a few minutes. Really cool guys and they were genuinely happy we were fans of their music. Ghost and La the Darkman were high out of their minds though. Rza was all business. You could tell he had his mind on business at all times. Ghostface had always been my favorite of that crew and I tried talking to him, but he seriously couldn't string together a coherent sentence he was so high. I told U God I had Turbo charge as my ring tone and he didn't believe me and couldn't believe it when I played it. He told Rza but he didn't seem to care lol.
