Re: What is your lame claim to fame?
~When I was 16, I attended performing arts camp with Jason Alexander's son. I had friends who knew him, but I never actually met him. Furthermore, the director of the musical I was in at this camp was in UHF as the kid who got chopped in half by Conan the Librarian after saying, "I'm sorry, this book is a little overdue..." He NEVER commented on my Al shirt when I wore it to rehearsal.
~My middle school study skills teacher's son co-wrote and directed such films as "Can't Hardly Wait," "A Very Brady Sequel," "The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas," and "Josie and the Pussycats."
~I had a summer camp art instructor who was also the personal assistant to John Lithgow.
~My late grandpa served custard to baseball star Jackie Robinson while working in a Carvel shop in Brooklyn, NY.

I'm guessing he told the campers at the end of the summer?

Probably the giant split down the center of his head and torso gave it away.

I recognized his face! Not to mention it was listed on IMDB. I found out after camp had ended but was shocked that he never said anything about it when I wore my Poodle Hat tour shirt to rehearsals. His name is Jeff Maynard, and if you've ever seen "the computer wore tennis shoes" he was in that too! Big Spoon, he never told any campers about it...

A friend of mine works at apple and told me last night something about Al wanting to use a product or something, and he had to scan his ID and Passport (but didn't actually meet him).

Once I received a reply from Aaron Goodwin of Ghost Adventures on Twitter. He sent me a smiley face.

I've met all five members of the Kids In The Hall after their recent performance in Denver.

Re: What is your lame claim to fame?
I have second Lame Claim to Fame. One of my residents was next door neighbors with Mr. Fred Rodgers. He said that he was in fact the best neighbor one could ask for. I loved his show as a kid. Still watch it once in a purple moon if I see a rerun on.
