At risk of further lowering my karma, I must share with you all the following. Somewhere between 11pm and 1am last night, I passed Justin Bieber's touring motorhome on I-5 Southbound coming into Los Angeles. His name was pasted all over the side of it, so I know it's true. And in further support of my claims, while looking for musical events here in Los Angeles, I saw that he's performing at Staples Center in Los Angeles tonight. Woo Hoo!
I dare any of you to top that.

I was on Haight street one year.
Out of a head shop walked the king, Joe Montana with a hottie (not wife) in tow.
I yelled, 'Hey Joe' he turns, I yell 'Go Cheifs!'
He told me we had great BBQ.

I met Steven Tyler on a flight to Kona a few years ago.
One of the greatest moments of my life (with only a little sarcasm).

I was a maid at the Ahwahnee in 1975-76 and had the top floors as my rooms to clean. Years later, the Queen of England slept in one of those rooms.

Went to dinner with Todd Rundgren (yeah, only you geezers will know who he is!) in Boston's North End during a MacWorld Expo years ago. At another San Francisco MacWorld, I went to a party at his house in Sausalito.
In addition to being an interesting musician, he was also involved in software development. If anyone remember Flowfazer on the Mac from ages ago, that was his product. Kind of an on-screen lava lamp. Given the crowd I worked with in those days, it all kinda made sense for him to create that.
Well, whaddaya know... it's still around!

I ran around a corner without looking and crashed into another guy who was doing the same thing.... twice (on separate occasions). That guy was Steve Jobs.

I saw Mel Gibson in Telluride once.
He's short and can't act.

Sh!t, Mel Gibson has been to my house. And he still can't act.
OK, he was filming a scene next door. What's the difference?
And he smokes like a chimney! What a wanker.

I once met Minnie Pearl,
Perhaps I should say she once met me?
I better not.
I once watched Mickey Marvin moon the Oakland PD bench at a benefit softball game, though. It was sweeeeet!
He was the essential Raiders' offensive guard to me after that.
Beiber would have fainted away!
And Ward, Largo is almost totally Hollywood.
So is Tony Bird. (Not Tony Hawk, though.)
I can't make up my mind about some of you others, some of whom the tabloids might love.
I'm talking about BrokedownClimber, of course. He can't wait for his next Facelift, I'll bet.
You rascal. :)
Good climbs lately, BDC!

Hmmmm,

I did see Bonnie Raitt last night though, real close and she was very good!
