Girlfriends Grandfather developed/started the company that made the Burley Football.
According to my older siblings, I 'alledgedly' punched Percy Penguin in the 'nuts' as a little kid and had him/her pretty riled up.
Got to surf with Mike Stewart a few times in SW WA and the East Coast. Not a claim to fame, simply an amazing experience watching him at Noint, Gas, Box and Boodjie.

Top that =] My sisters god father and dads best friend, was Michael Hutchence's manager, and also for You Am I and many other artists i cant think of also...
He has also been nominated for an Emmy for a movie he made in cuba or somewhere a while ago, he is up agianst Modonna and such other people.
Also, mum is good friends with Mimi Macpherson (sp?) and has been to our place a few times (yes, elle's sister
) The reason i am saying this is becuase we went out water skiing one day and she sun baked topless in our boat =] She has a nice rack =]And again, Dad played for Australia in Polo for a few years, and travelled the world. Made many contacts along the way, played with Prince Charles, worked for and played Sinclair Hill's polo ponies (best polo player of his time from Aus =]), we also bread and break in polo ponies for Kerry Packer, and when i was last up at his estate up near Skone, called Ellerston, Packer gave me a birthday present =] Was stoked! He was a champ, but cant say the same about James....
There are numerous other things my dad has done and could go on for ages, but meh, that'll do it =]
*one to add that i forgot about =] My dads cousin's (Tonia Toddman, who was the host of 'Healthy Wealthy & Wise' and part of Good Morning Australia) husband, who i sometimes go and work for sometimes, is one of, if not the only person to ever to tell Chopper Read to 'fuck off and grow the fuck up!' He also said that before Chopper cut off his ears he was scared of everyone and all used to pick on him, so he cut his ears to show everyone not to mess with him, but on the inside he is a weak piece of crap lol (*my counsins husband was a psychiatrist (sp?))

I've met Ewan Macgregor twice, and sold him a bunch of motorcycle related goodies. He was rockstar cool at first, but once he realised we weren't going to hassle him for autographs and stuff he hung out and talked bikes like any other motorcycle enthusiast.
Laurence Fishburn punished my ears for 2 hours once too. Another motorcycle enthusiast who isn't too cool to be seen riding a scooter wearing a motox lid, hawaiian shit shorts and thongs. Nice bloke, who told me he thought Australia was quite racist until he worked out that everyone thought he was a Maori and was shit scared of him. I saw the same comment repeated in an interview a couple of weeks later.
John Travolta waved at me from the back of a Trike tour, because I waved to the rider (who I knew) and he thought I was waving at him.
Wayne Gardener on numerous occasions, and he was a bit of a prick each time.
BillyJoel looked at me and said Hi when he stuck his head into the shop for a look.
I had a beer with Ian Gillan from Deep Purple when he did a solo tour many years ago. I got shitfaced with his guitarist, because he was only 23, when the rest of the band were in their mid 40's and he didn't want to go back to the hotel with them
And then there's a whole bunch of motorcycling, motoracing and musical people you wouldn't know
Lame to Fame huh?

I waited behind Simon Black in the cab line for like half an hour last night... I'm sure I will think of something more impressive after I get some sleep...

Laurence Fishburne and the winner of Big Brother 2 both came into the video store I used to work in as a kid.
At my job now working at the bar at uni I've met heaps of bands. Rise Against, My Chemical Romance, Static X, Il Nino, Coheed and Cambria etc. Usually make sure they've got plenty of drink up in their green rooms. Most recent being the whole cast of the Chaser when they did a Q&A, funny blokes.
When Richard Carleton died there was a service at the uni, I was mixing drinks when I look up from the bar George Negus was staring back at me. Freaky hair.

I've met Gabrielle Gate a couple of times.
my mum was on good morning Australia once.
dad was ron walkers personal gardener.
i have a relative who's an architect and worked on fed square and numerous other prominent Australian contemporary public buildings/constructions.
i met Robbie McEwan.
i saw Cadel Evans training on Sunday on the great ocean road.
i worked as a volunteer at the personal monastery of his holiness the Dalai Lama in the Himalayas teaching photoshop. also i went to a week long public talk done by HH the Dalai Lama in his the Himalayas.
