Famous Friends

I am friends with Chad Szeliga, the drummer for Breaking Benajamin. I also know Ben as well, but would go so far as saying friends.

I have met MANY celebs through the years. Being a musician for a while, I have done shows with Brett Michaels, Saliva, Breaking Benjamin, Hinder, Rev Theory, LA Guns, and a few others.

I also have met a few sports figures. I am a DIE HARD Saints fan, and the night before the 2006 draft, I was hanging out with Jahri Evans. The next day, the Saints drafted him in the third round! He is now considered the best Offensive Lineman in the NFL. I'vemet Drew Brees, Marques Colston, both from the Saints. I have also met Emmitt Smith, Ali, George Gervin, and a few others.

And lastly, back in the early and mid 70's, when I lived in San Antonio, my parents were friends with a few of the wrestlers from down that way such as Ivan Putski, Junkyard Dog, the Von Erics and a few others.

TO add another thing, not this past mothers day, but the one before, I gave my wife a mothers day gift I'll NEVER be able to top. Our local DJ up here is great friends with the band Flyleaf. They were doing a show in Philly, so for her gift, I arranged for her to get to the club hours before hand, hang with the entire band for about 4 hours before the show, stood ONSTAGE, off to the side, for the entire show, and then go back to their dressing room with them until they were ready to leave. She even was the 1st person, outside the band and crew and such, to view their latest video at the time.

She remained star struck the entire time! I didn't get to go because of work, but she texted me the whole time telling me about them and sending pics. She stands 5'2" and all she kept saying was how Lacey was so short!

I also used to work in Century City, Ca and dealt with many celebrities especially those signed with Sony/CBS records from Ozzy to Lemmy to Jimmy Johnson(Cowboys ex Coach)and my best one was Charlton Heston...again this is people i met with more then once but dont consider them friends, living in L.A. leaves you open to so many chances of meeting famous people from sports movies tv and music. Best looking females i met were Salma Hayek Patsy Kensit Julia Roberts and Jodie Foster...all these were cool but then you had your primadonnas that didnt mean crap but thought they were the shiznit like Brian Grazer Robert Urich and James woods...all nothing but hasbeens or egomaniacs.
