    I met Edward Norton while he was in Italy making The Italian Job. I was 15 babysitting his cousin's kids and he came down to Napoli for a few days after shooting the movie. First day I met him he was in boxers an a t shirt eating icecream out of the carton right in the freezer while getting yelled at by his cousin because thwy were about to go for pizza. Haha. Saw him a few more times that week. He is a really nice guy.

    Almost forgot. Back when they were famous, I did some work with Steve Gustafson from 10, 000 Maniacs for Special Olympics. He was a real d!ck. Probably why I didn't remember...:D

    I've heard Natalie Merchant is none to pleasant to serve, either...extremely demanding backstage. I had a thing for her until I had friends who worked with her.

    Ivan Stewart. He's really nice! He came to a Toyota meet back in like 2001...I think I was only like 10 at the time but I remember he was just sitting on a curb outside of our hotel just chillin. So I sat down next to him and I was like "hey..." and got to chatting with him lol

    His arms are like extra long, it's neat lol

    Also Roger and Brad Lovell of Lovell Racing. They live in my hometown and I got to ride with Roger once in his buggy and it was the most insane ride I ever took. So much fun lol.

    I've met a handful of pretty famous horse trainers too but you all probably wouldn't know them.

    Tim McGraw as well. Didn't get to talk to him but I touched him and he took an American Flag I had and gave me a guitar pick.

    I've seen a few people in concert but I won't include those since I never actually met them.

    My mom has met Snookie as well as the entire cast from Ocean's 11. She got kissed by Brad Pitt.
