Pushing “famous” a bit here (@xylo might like this one) , but I bumped into James Dewees on the way back from the toilets before a Reggie and the Full Effect gig. Because I’m a dickhead I asked him if it was true that he had joined A New Found Glory. Because I was drunk, when he said yes I pulled a face and said “but they’re SHITE”.

He was polite but clearly raging.

I was right though.

oh and this particular old firm regi came off the bench with 20mins to go when it was already game over and everytime he got on the ball all the rangers fans cheered :slight_smile:

It was probably being in Glasgow that saved me, then.

I once spotted Matt Smith leaving a The Antlers show in L.A but I forgot who he was momentarily before blurting out “Doctor Who!”

At Matt Groening’s ATP I was really excited to see him wandering around by the main stage just before Deerhunter played. The Simpsons had been my favourite TV show since I was about 6 so this was a big deal for me. Saw he was talking to a small group of people so tried to politely (as polite as 10am drunk can be) jump in and ask for an autograph while the opportunity presented itself.

He looked at me with utter contempt, said “yeah you can join the queue though” and then pointed behind me to the line of about five hundred people who had been patiently waiting for him to sit down at the signing table I’d walked straight past.

Bonus embarrassment: The people he was talking to were the Boredoms and Zach Hill.

Never meet your heroes, you’ll only see what a prick you are reflected back at you.

I annoyed Kele Okerke by asking him if he’d like to join the Morning Runner mailing list at a gig. He huffed and said “I’m just here to see my friend’s band” and turned away. Tbf it was at a Morning Runner gig and I was just doing my duty as a committed member of the Morning Runner street team. (Kele wasn’t there to see Morning Runner.)

Mentioned this here before.

Simon Pegg. I wouldn’t let him jump a queue of children to go into a dinosaur exhibition aimed at under 12s. He had no kids with him, and tried to pull a “do you know who I am”.

disappointing behaviour from pegg, this. hope you dismissed him in such a way that he had to have a long, hard think about what he’d become
