Oh, thank God, I thought there was no way you could be that ugly.

riiiiiigggghhhht……of course its not you Hoya

Hoya is the hirsute dude on the far right of the photo.

Hoya is second from left (the fact that he's from Canada is something he tries to hide, so as to not be associated with the Canadians on this board):

Sure did. Then he slipped her a long eight.

yeah! that's my favorite doppelganger that i've found while googling, dude is pimp!

even stranger: i used to write for an environmental think-tank here, and someone else with my exact name wrote for WWF in the UK … i'd get weird emails periodically from his ex-lovers, pretty funny

and while i'm quite flattered by being mistaken for the cool bearded guy, everyone should know by now that this is me:

I've always assumed that was a picture of Dupek.

i got "detained" by the Clash road crew because 20k went missing at a show on the "Cut The Crap" tour. basically anyone working backstage at this show as Michigan State Uni was under "suspicion" after the concert. nothing came of it, and there was speculation that the money went missing because of all the lawsuits going on at the time of that tour.

Spike Lee, at Mazza Gallerie for a showing of Spirited Away a few years back.

James Earl Jones, at my school to Verizohype the afterschool program for which I'm a coach.

I'm escorting Patti Smith around for an evening next week. That could be cool.

I get the feeling she smokes a lot of weed. Also, she's one of those not so hot rocker chicks that I still have a soft spot for. I talked with her on the phone once. She seems like a cool chick, but beyond that, not so much.

Jammed with Dave Grohl. He pretty much destroyed my friends drumset and tried to give him some money to replace the broken sticks and drumheads. I've hung out with him a few times…he's a really nice and funny guy.

Met Michael Stipe at a bar in Philly after their show at whatever the 20,000 seat arena up there is called. They were touring with Grant Lee Buffalo at the time and came by the club after their show to see the Railroad Jerk. The club stayed open til 3 or 4 hosting an after hours impromptu jam with members of all 3 bands. Not really a huge fan of either but it was still pretty cool for some dumb reason.

I worked with Patti Smith's brother Todd, the one who died the same year that her husband Fred died. (Sid Vicious's last arest was for attacking Todd in NY, when released from jail he od'd and died)..

Tripping on acid in the Gwar art studio was fun about 15 years ago too..

I was sitting next to James Van Der Beek (this blonde Dawson's Creek dude) at Cosi's in Bethesda some time last year..

I bet Bethesda is the new Hollywood. My friend totally saw Hillary Duff and Joel Madden dining in Mon Ami Gabi a few months ago…


(most likely because Joel's sister works at Hugo, but shhhh)

I'm trying to think of all the famous people I've met over the years…here's a list off the top of my head:

Mike Ditka
Jessie Camp (the scuzzy MTV VJ…at a roadside stop in Ohio somewhere)
Alec Baldwin
James Earl Jones
Charles Durning
Selma Blair
Ahmet Zappa
Chris Issac
Tom Selleck
Dolly Parton
Woody Harrelson
John Waters
Dave Thomas (Wendy's guy, not Pere Ubu…though I met him too)

I know there's more but I'm blanking on them. In DC it's pretty hard not to run into celebs at some point.
