Hunchback

woody harrelson. he hung out/partied in my gaf in the wee hours of the morning when he was promoting a film at the galway film fleadh a few years ago ( i got starstruck and had to go to bed until he left. i'm such a tard like that).
martin sheen. i chatted to him about ten minutes without realising who he was ( i was serving him pizza, very nice gentleman indeed).

Catari Jaguar

I used to work the desk/ floor in an aquarium and met Rossa ó Snodaigh from Kila, a few fair city people (see the cast all the time around town), Adrian Kennedy, Blathnaid McKenna (she did a bikini photoshoot with a spider crab. Funny schit! ). They were all pleasant and polite. Had film crews in a good bit too. One time Bon Jovi brought his kids but I wasn't working that day.

When I was in New York, Christine Baranski (Mamma Mia) strutted past me in her shades and hat speaking very loudly on her phone.

The Revs (where are they now?)

I met the Revs at a gig in town years back. They were chatting to the audience and making improv songs based on our suggestions after the gig. He chose mine.. and I caught a drumstick. A magical day. I was on stage with Dropkick Murphys another time

Saw Samantha Mumba and Mondo from Fair City (told ye I see them everywhere!) at Keith Barry's show. They sat in front of us, kicked this couple out of their seats. Wank3rs. :mad:

Another time, at David Blane's book signing in Eason (weird guy).. her little brother, Omero was trying to skip in front and I told security and he got booted to the end. I skipped though.

Loads more! Linda Martin, the Den guy and Brendan with the weird forehead from the Indo were visiting in a school I worked in. Linda is a perma tan skeleton. Brendan is sound.

Met Andrea Roche in that new bar above Purty Kitchen, she's nice enough.

Met Liam Gallagher in Niketown in Chicago just before Christmas. He was sitting beside me while we were both trying on runners. Nice chap. They were doing a gig that night just outside Chicago.

Sat beside Chris Robinson (singer Black Crowes) on a flight to the U.S years ago.
Was in Larry Holmes (former heavy weight boxer. I could be wrong but I think he might have been a former world champ as well) house in Easton Pennsylvania when I was a kid. He's a neighbour of my aunt. His swimming pool was in the shape of a boxing glove.

Sat beside Ryan Giggs on a flight from Dublin to Manchester back in 1993.

Was having lunch in a hotel in Galway on New Years day years ago and Ronan Keating was there bringing his bags out to the car. People were standing around yawking at him! My Dad, not knowing who he was asked my Mam "Who's that?" to which she replied, really loudly "thats Jason DOnovan!!" You could see him smiling as he took the bags out!

clive owen , simply red, eurythmics, the divine comedy, james iha, the dandy warhols ,the verve i could go on, i just seem to have a knack of tripping over famous or talented or celebrated albeit momentarily people and to be honest when i think about it ,what good has it done me , has it paid my bills, got me a job, impressed anyone, and the answer has to be a great big no.
maybe i should cobble together a few notes and photys and call it a book of my life with .... whoever, and do a whole series.maybe i could be famous just for having been in the presence of famous peeps, .. then again i could just save my energy to spend time with my friends and family.
