I met Sean Penn at the airport

Other than that I've met and talked to TJ Schiller and Andy Mahre but I don't consider them famous or celebrities, just sick skiers.

I've also met Sean White, Andy Finch, and Danny Kass who liked my Spicolli Joysticks.

my family is friends with the whole lynyrd skynyrd band: gary rossington, johnney van zant, billy powell, hughie thomasson (originally of the outlaws), leon, etc, and the late ronnie.
i've met aaron neville twice, once on an airplane ride to phili and a couple weeks ago in tennessee.
richard petty gave me one of his helmets, and i used to show horses with his granddaughter montgomery.
i'm good friends with travis cope and his dad used to be a nascar driver, mike cope! go 26!

i met quite a lot of bands. many because i help out at concerts in my area so i get backstage and stuff.

im friends with the band called The Fully Down. theyre not completely world reknowned.....but they tour over the world all the time.

i met a few guys from Moneen while doing some backstage stuff. they made jokes about playing handball haha.
mmm i nearly went to dinner with silverstein but im pretty sure a bunch of people on here hate them

i was an extra in cameron diaz's stupid movie "in her shoes" haha what a bad movie. so i met her. that was neat.

umm all of the ottawa senators basically... i mean maybe not all but most... spezza like a billion times.. redden a billion times..emery like 3 or 4 times.. mcgratton a few times.. chris neil twice.. heatley once... fisher twice... blablabla u get the point.

k-os

moka only (he got me drunkity drunk drunk in mtl last year... bought me way too many vodka redbulls, and this blonde chick that was with him kept giving me the evil eye..eeek)

marie soleil..i dont expect any of the americans to know who that is lol. but she was my next door neighbour growing up. that was neat.

don cherry.

monica lewinski
tom green ( he went to my high school and back in the day..umm i dunno like 6 or 7 years ago..he decided to come visit us haha that was fun)

drew barrymore

uhhh.. bunch of skiers but they dont count.

i feel as though im missing someone. but yep. none of the above situations were very exciting aside from the tom green events. that was a hilarious day. and monica too she was with him. the moka only thing was fun but i couldnt really enjoy myself cuz the entire time iw as afraid that blondie was gonna stab me in the eyes.

Bode Miller grew up in Franconia, New Hampshire, which is 10 minutes from where I live, which is Littleton

He grew up skiing at Cannon mountain, not Bretton woods, so don't be fooled by whatever you hear, theyre just paying him good money to say he did. I teach at Cannon moutain, that and my cousins are good friend with him

They lived together for a while when Bode was out in Utah skiing. One of my cousins also taught him how to shoot an M-4 since he was in the military

I met the governator a.k.a. Arnold mutherfuckin Schwarzenegger. True story. I made him a sandwich and after he was done he asked to see the guy who made his sandwich (me) and he said it was the best sandwich he's ever had. He is a super chill guy, but he is actually really short.

So? All you have to do is have your rents pay enough money to send you a camp and there you go. Or just go to Whistler for a few weekends.
