Yeah, they are! Justin rides his bike by the tour buses before the shows. Adam doesn't like to be bothered much, like treated like a rock star. We were standing by the tour buses and Adam walked out and walked over by us and was like 'Hey hows it going?' Then a couple of other people started running up to him asking if he needed help carrying anything to his bus. So he walked in. It's annoying. Danny, we didn't get a picture of but we talked to him a little as he was carrying in his bike. Maynard, my absolute favorite, I watched him get on his tour bus!

I think they just got back to the states a week ago. I just can't wait for them to start touring here again!!

I once ran into Mary Kate Olsen in the bathroom in Pastis in NYC. I also met Harrison Ford at an event I was working at, but I didn't even know it was him! He came up to the registration desk where I was signing in guests and handing out tickets and said his last name was Ford. I looked through the stack of tickets and said that I couldn't find his and instructed him to go see someone else. As he walked away I thought "He looks really familiar, maybe he is a friend of my parents," and then everyone came up to me and told me who it was. I knew he looked familiar!

Living, and partying, in Chicago I have met plenty of celebs. More come through here than people realize....everyone jokes that it is only to see Oprah, lol.

I partied with Chris Rock and Jamie Fox (on seperate occassions), ran into Brad Pitt, Rufus Sewell, the guys from Desperate Housewives, Angelina, Jennifer Aniston.

My bro introduced me to Vince Vaughn. Met a lot of bands and artists, comes with the job.

Chicago is a hot spot for celebs. I haven't met any yet and I go every single year. I wonder what thats all about.

Gilipsie · #18 (**permalink**) 11-09-2007, 11:48 AM

I got there every year trying to meet Oprah. I actually want to go to her show.

I want to meet a lot more famous bands. Can I come work for you? hehe

I see a lot of politicians in DC. I heard that Brad Pitt and George Clooney were in town filming a movie, but I haven't seen them. I think there was actually a movie filming in the street a few blocks over from my house, but I didn't see any stars

Filming in the city is nuts, I hate it when they do that.

PIP- Next time you think they are going to be filming in your city, check out the times on those temporary no parking signs, that will give you a ballpark idea of when the filming is going to be happening.

Here in Chicago they try to do it really late at night or super early in the morning when the sun is just coming out.

The few times they do film during the day its a zoo, people are all over the place trying to get a look.

And Kelli- if you want to meet more bands try gettting a job in the entertainment industry, even the lowliest entertainment job will find you meeting someone.

Hmm... any idea where to start off at?
