Celebrity Sightings...

[Alpine TSi]

When I worked at the Circuit City in Edina I met Randy Moss(he came in at least twice a month and loaded a basket full of video games, cds, and dvds), Willie Offord(special teams for the Vikes), and Terrance Shaw(Vikes).

When I was at the Circuit in Woodbury I helped Rob Zombie pick out a portable DVD player for his tour bus because his went out on the way to Ozzfest. He tipped me with a pair of tickets, w00t.

Backstreet boys suck. and if i did see them in person i would still think they suck. just wanted to add that.

Tom, you're just jealous cuz the BSB doesn't have to make provocative flyers for their parties to trick girls into thinking that it's the cool place to be.

No, it wasn't Josh H, it was that guy that was on Roswell...some Jason guy & Patrick had gone to High School with him. My sister was a huge fan of his from Roswell, so she got his autograph.


Well make up your mind.

Hrbek is king!!!! Out of everyone listed Kent is the only guy I'd hope to run into!


When I worked the Computer Tech bench at Best Buy in Richfield I saw and met a lot of athletes, some musicians and a couple actors. Here are the ones woth mentioning:

Randy Moss - Dick, told me not to tell anyone he was here, had a fishing hat pulled down tight over hiding his face.

Robert Grifith - Cool Guy. Came buy often and stopped over at the tech bench everytime he visited the store, always talked about how he wanted to get into music and acting.

Jimmy Kliensasser - Cool guy, bought a few computers one summer from BB

Daunte Culpepper - Cool guy, didn't talk to him much

Doug Chapman - Tried to pay with those starter checks where you have to write everything out, we wouldn't take it, he pulled the I'm a Viking player, the GM talked to him for a while and he ended coming back with Randy Moss to buy his shit for him

Robert Smith - Can't remember much about him but he came in often to buy cds and dvds.

Twins Players:

Hrbek - Worked on his computer, he brought it in a few times, eneded up doing work on the side for him. We still keep in contact. It's funny when my roomates are like, "hrbek is on the caller ID." He once came into Best Buy and had his world series ring on, not sure which one, but it was a huge "M" full of diamonds. A business woman was also at the tech bench that day having her laptop looked at. They kind of talked a bit, then she finally asked what that ring was all about. Hrbek said, "oh, this is a world series ring" she said something stupid and introduced herself, then Hrbek left. She then asked me "whos kent Hrbek?". haha

Musicians:

Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters - We had the Foo Fighters play 4 or 5 songs during the day at our store. Got pretty crazy with people in the store. I went shopping with one of the roadies and then Dave Grohl joined us, bought a shit load of PS2 games DVDs and some cds. Dave was very cool, I got all of the bands autographs. It was funny as they started lighting up cigarettes and the GM was going to say something and then decided to just let it go. Told Nate in the foo fighters that I owned a couple sunny day real estate cds, he laughed.

Actors:

Josh Hartnet
Rachel Leigh Cook

Before Best buy, when I was in college in 1998, I met the guys from The Blooghound Gang at an edge fest and myself and a few friends went on tour with the band for a couple shows in milwaukee and chicago. One of the best times of my life.

An old firend of mine is the HAR MAR Superstar.

I sat and talked to Winona Ryder back in '94, had no idea who she was when her sunglasses were on, just noticed she was thinner than normal for Minnesota girls. Talked for a while, she was really nice, but was kinda surprised I didn't know who she was. She got up to leave and took off her sunglasses and my jaw dropped. She was about the hottest actress to me at the time.

Met Marc Cohn the singer when we used to clean his boat. Real jackass.

Met Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis several times when we cleaned both of their boats on Tonka, both really nice guys.

I've met a few of the Vikings, but I didn't know who they were and really didn't care. Watching someone else play sports is boring.

Tom, you're just jealous cuz the BSB doesn't have to make provocative flyers for their parties to trick girls into thinking that it's the cool place to be.
First off, If we dont get the people there we dont have a job. and we are not Tricking anyone, we dont need to.
Secondly, "BSB" as you fans may call them, SUCK ASS. They have never made a single song that is remotly good, and the only people that actually listen to them are either 12 year old girls, or flaming homosexuals.

[DSM1G]

Flaming homosexuals....haha! That is funny, but true.

[Raptor]

Tom just said he listens to the Backstreet boys hahahahaha, silly faggot! Anyway, Tom, aren't you one of the losers who doesn't like AC/DC?, I would expect then that backstreet boys would be right up your little gay alley.

[A//// Guy]

Im not a back street boys fan at all... my gf was back in like 8th grade... that was quite a long time ago. I guess they are here for star party. Either way they are billionaires so Toms just jelous of their success. Or hes putting up a front because then he wont look like hes a real fan ;)

It was just something out of the ordinary that I thought I would share and see who you guys have run into.
