Ooh, celebrity run-ins and wierd con experiences eh? Gather round children, have I got some stories for you. In terms of celebrity run-ins I:
*Once sat next to Molly Meldrum on a flight and gave him a look after a quick exchange of words about the weather that said 'Why are you still wearing that bloody cowboy hat inside an aeroplane?".
*Went to a booksigning for Andrew Hansen and Julian Morrow of Chasers fame and said that people who thought their show was controversial or unfunny should take the pole out of their ass to which they agreed.
*Spotted Kevin James from across the upper level of some open air shopping centre in Hollywood as he was doing an interview for that mall cop film (I was there with my family and we had a competition going as to who could spot a celebrity first...I suppose that's the funny part).
*Once had Susie O'Neill observe me and my friends playing Yu-Gi-Oh (I apologise that these are mostly Australian celebrities).
*Once played xbox live with Barry White's son, it was my birthday that day and so he wished me a happy birthday [
].
*Once played tennis next to an oval where the Wallabies were training.
And I suppose in terms of wierd con-experiences, well really when you think about it most encounters are wierd at conventions. I recall when I went to this years Supernova (the only con I've been to) I asked a guy dressed as a splicer "Would you kindly let me get a photo" and got a look at the guy from the police academy films who did the great sound effects as he was signing autographs.
