Your claim to fame (singer, country, punk, myspace, concert)

I've hung out with a bunch of local bands, i'm very good friends with the singer from jets to ruin. My brother knows the singer from death cab for cutie so i've met him a couple of times. I've hung out with Manson for like 5 minutes after a show and thats 'bout it.

Wow... chilling with the Neptunes. How cool. How are they in real life? I saw an interview with Pharell recently and he seems a bit big headed.

Dad has meet AC/DC's drummer, Phil Rudd.

So that automatically puts me on the red carpet.

I got into an argument with the chick from Morningwood, hung around with members of Spoon, sang to Rufus Wainwright, and helped the guys in Ambulance LTD with their Myspace page.

I met Rush, in 81 or 82, while working at the 76 Truck Stop in Elkton, Maryland. And I just posted somewhere else in here that I met Alice Cooper last week, promoting his radio show in Philadelphia.

I've met Brody Dalle for like a split second.
I also met Andy Granelli and had a crazy cool conversation with him.
I had my picture in NME magazine with Tony Bradley.
Got all their autographs and met everyone except Ryan Sinn.
That's The Distillers anyway.

When I went to see The Hives, I met the entire band for literally two seconds but Dr Matt Destruction came out and had a smoke with us. He talked about how crappy the smoking ban is and all our crazy Irish heritage.

Hmm.. I met the Guitarist/keyboard..ist from God Is An Astronaut. I got their autographs, a kiss, a setlist and a drumstick.

Who else did I meet.. That's all I can think of for the moment.

Mick Hucknall of Simply Red used to live in my home town, until he got famous and bought a house in Milan.
My Mam knew his and she used to babysit him on occasions.
He's a knobhead.

I worked as the barman, for a week, at the place where they're holding the olympic watersports (not that kind, right-track).
My sister holds a world record.
I sang (once) in a band with PJ Harvey's cousin - Ben Waters -, who's also been on Jools Holland.
My piano teacher also taught the daughter of the guitarist in Wings and she was friends with the ex-drummer from Primal Scream.
The guitarist in my band is the cousin of the guitarist in the Commitments.
Before I joined, my band were offered support slots to Hundred Reasons. Why this is, when they hadn't even written any songs, I have no idea!

BEST OF ALL, I MET THE CHUCKLE BROTHER IN THE STREET IN WEYMOUTH ONCE. MY BROTHER WENT UP TO THEM AND STARTED GOING "TO ME, TO YOU, TO ME, TO YOU" AND THEY RAN AWAY!

If I knew how to post pictures, I'd post the one of me and Elvis Costello. I saw him at baggage claim at Newark Airport. We were both returning from the Austin City Limits festival. He was awfully nice, put his arm around me and my husband snapped the picture. I thought I died and went to heaven! I LOVE Elvis.

I met Springsteen once--we were both at a Lyle Lovett concert in Red Bank, New Jersey. I walked part way up the aisle and then turned around to wait for my friends to catch up. Someone yelled "Hey, Bruce" and I turned my head and he was standing next to me, waiting for his wife.

But who cares about Bruce? I met ELVIS.

Chad used to live right by me, and he's a very very cool guy, and pretty down to earth. The times i've hung out with Pharell were because of Kato (who left a few years ago to try and become a pro skater in california) but they weren't as big back then, but he was a pretty down to earth guy. Always looking for a good time, but was still smart and was always looking out for his brother.
