if so what was it.


The only thing I can think of is that I was in a girls gone wild video. I am a dude, but the GGW crew with all the Real World coke heads came into the bar i was working at in college and can be seen in the background. I will hand out autographs if you message me.

I was in a band that toured with the Used and My Chemical Romance.

My high school band played on Warped Tour 2001.

Holy **** that sounds so long ago. But yeah, I met lots of ladies and glad my Catholic guilt stopped me from doing to much otherwise I might not have made it this far

My brother's friend's little brother was Mike Bush.

Terry Woods told someone to get me a beer when i twisted my ankle in a pickup game at the old State Gym.

I was interviewed on the news in central Iowa when ISU hired Fred Hoiberg. I think I made the 6pm and 10pm newscasts. BOOM

I was in the same class at Ames High as Fred Hoiberg's brother.
I saw James Brown in Disney World.
I was in a choir that sang for Gov. Branstad.
I had a letter to the editor published in the Register.
I think I'm up to 7 1/2 minutes of fame?

We were part of the crowd at the CCL game that Craig Brackins & Royce White played in two summers back...

The Ch 13 camera was focused on the bench during most of the clip they did and we were in the background plain as day on the news that night. I didn't think anything of it until the next day...when it seems like half the people we know made a point of telling us "we saw you on the news last night!". So there's that.

Other than that, closest I came to fame was meeting Rutger Hauer & Ice-T when they were filming "Surviving the Game".

Yup. I'm boring too.

Unless having a solo for my high school jazz band in the Iowa Jazz Band Championships counts, then no. I haven't had my 15 minutes.

Anything I've done in public has been basically band related.




OH oh! I was on the Floppy Show when I was a little kid. I remember watching myself on TV!
