  1. @Grandioso As a huge LZ fan, that is a really, really cool pic and info. Will rep when I'm able!
  2. Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
  3. Oh hell, I don't know how I forgot about this one. Hung out briefly with Bill Murray at Shangri La during SXSW several years ago. It was just my small group and him and a friend until word got out and it started getting crowded and he left. But he ended up returning later that night, long after we'd left, and started serving people drinks from behind the bar. There's videos of it on YouTube.
  4. Always been one of my personal favorites.
  5. Watching these things, while mind blowing, doesn't seem to bother me *that* much. Oddly, I'm way less afraid of heights than I was as a kid. Maybe I've just seen enough of these videos that my tolerance for them has increased. Still, the skateboard part got to me. Yikes. It was all insane, of course. And yeah, it's just a matter of time before he becomes a grease spot.
  6. ^^^An all-time classic. Full vid with the fall from tree.
  7. "What beers do you have on draft?" -- some dumb chick standing directly in front of the 5-6 taps at The Tavern.
  8. Same. In addition to the BB King autograph I mentioned earlier, which happened in an airport, I've seen Lyle Lovett, Jerry Jeff Walker, Junior Brown, Craig Way and RC Slocum in airports and/or had them on my flight. I've also sat next to Tom Penders and Kelly Willis on flights. Penders was hilarious. This was when he was still coaching at UT. He came on board with a bag of Taco Bell and was slamming jack & cokes. Nice guy. He was more interested in hearing about what I did for a living than talking about himself. Kelly Willis was sweet but she slept most of the flight (or pretended to?) EDIT: didn't mean to imply Penders was "greatness" (or RC and Craig Way for that matter)
  9. Another one....I met BB King in about 1988/89 in an airport and had him sign my cassette tape of U2's Rattle & Hum, which he appeared in. He was cool.
  10. Kevin: "what do I do now?" BL: "go fuck yourself"
  11. Let's get this started! I have a call at 12:30 dammit!!
  12. I got to give Cameron Crowe a tour of my company's offices, which he was scouting for a film location. Really cool, down to earth dude.
  13. Pat Benatar on the UNT campus in Denton. I was 15.
