well, my best friends parents had a private dinner with George Bush.

I met/tried bringing home the heir to Campbell's soup at a bar one night (I didn't get it but my buddy did) PS she was pretty good looking.


People from the Boston area might appreciate this one... met Ryan Montbleau in a bar one night, so me and my friend started talking to him and his friend, well the bar was beat so we decided to go back to the remnants of a party at my place to play beer pong. Me and my friend beat him and our reward was a 4 hour private concert in our apartment... I got the whole thing on video tape too.

and my grandmother used to swear that we are distantly related to William Penn... not sure how true the last one is though.


thats all I can think of right now.

I'm related to Henry the VIII. His last and only surviving wife was Catherine Parr. Parr is mother's maiden name. We got a family tree somewhere but I can't remember if he is my great(x30) uncle or whatever.

I've met the entire Dallas Cowboy cheerleading squad, along with Rob Schneider, Bo Derek, Jessica Simpson, Wayne Newton and Billy Joel. Oh yeah, one of my best friends dated the daughter of the owner of High Times. And my mom delievered John Gotti Jr's first born.

Wow everyone has interesting stories. My gf once found an article which said I'm a descendant of Cane( from the Bible) which makes me a relative of ghengis khan. Anyways it seems Cane's children formed clans called Khans(from Cane) and one of them had my last name as one of their Khans.

I've got some relatives that are pretty high up in NYC politics. I probably shouldn't go into any more detail, or I'd likely have to kill you.

I'm also related to some guy that came over on the Mayflower (boat that came over from england and founded the first lasting colony), Roger Tory Peterson (some famous guy that wrote bird watching books ) and some other marginally famous people.

i'm related to the bass guitarist of the band Smash Mouth (he's my second cousin or something like that).

i'm also distantly related to Fred Penner, a very popular Canadian children's entertainer who had his own TV show in the early '90s. my last name is Penner as well, which is what most of my friends call me.

i've met tons of people that i can't remember, like George Chuvalo, Super Dave Osbourne, Bert McCracken (lead singer of The Used), i've met all of Taking Back Sunday 3 times, met countless band members in the crowd after their set (Funeral For A Friend, Atreyu, Underoath etc.), i've met a few professional drifters (Chunky Bai, Kazuhiro Tanaka, Nobushige Kumakubo, Atsushi Kuroi, Masatoshi Asamoto, and the founder of Signal Auto, Kosuke Kida). Kumakubo actually gave me a spent Advan tire off of his S13 at the end of the day's festivities, which now hangs on my wall.

i also met the Dale Earnhardt's (Sr. and Jr.). me and my dad went down to Daytona in 1999 or 2000 (i can't remember) for the Pepsi 400 (back when i was still into NASCAR). we were eating at Hooter's across the road from the race-track the night before the race, and noticed the guys sitting at the next table were getting alot of attention (people coming up asking for autographs etc.). we finally found out after about 5 minutes that we were eating right next to the Dale Earnhardts and hadn't even realized it.
