Almost all of my celebrity stories involve the celebrity in question barfing.

All of my celebrity stories (all two one of them) involve me creeping out David Willis at BotCon.

Four. I'm not saying who.

EDIT: Scratch that, it's four not three, I updated the list after much searching of old notes and texts from years past.

Does porn and fantasies about Jessica Alba and Phyllis Schlafly count?

Each on their own turn or both at the same time?

It's no Bea Arthur, but whatever.

I was hired as a script writer back in 2010 while working for other jobs. It eventually led to a kind of co-creator for short films, which there are many in "the biz" that never make it to full film, but do get passed around between directors, actors, writers, and others in the loop.
I wish there was a market for these shorts other than crap like "Movie 43" but it might take time before such a thing catches on. When people go to see a movie, they want A MOVIE and not a series of little 5 minute skits, no matter how funny they are.

As far as the meetups I've had it began as favors and gifts from a friend with connections that eventually led to bigger social circles. As my friend demonstrated by rolling a ball, "Notice how the ball keeps rolling long after I started it".
I've been out of the loop for about a year and a half now due to a kind of probation for crimes I committed years ago, but when I get back to those same social circles I will once again resume working in film.

Two notable films I was working on were the upcoming "Abara" live action adaptation based on the Japanese comic, and a kind of conspiracy-action film called "Guntrigger". I'm not sure of the success of either in the long run but Guntrigger has been in production since 2010 and is for the most part complete. It might be released this year, but Abara is in the drafts and features starts such as Mila Kunis as lead roles. I think Josh Hartnett is in there too but it's been a while since I was part of that.

My father's on good terms with Arnold Schwarzenegger and was on good terms with Steve Jobs, and I once missed out on meeting Leonardo DiCaprio by ten minutes or so.
