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.
