Met a bunch of celebs last night

[ukgrad]

I was fortunate enough to get invited to the Grand Gala last night after Derby.... I got to meet tons of people, including Michael Jordan, Chris Tucker, Jerome Bettis, Dr. J.... etc... but the best, nicest, and most down to earth was by far and away Dave Chappelle.... What a great guy! I had the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time talking w/ him (about 20-30 minutes) and I can't put into words how cool he was... I had to share this, b/c Chappelle was so cool....

BTW, I also got to meet Rondo...

You haven't heard of Dave Chappelle? You need to check him out. Funny guy.

Sounds like you had a night to remember UKgrad. We envy you.

Nice to know about Dave Chappelle. That guy is funny all the time.

Chappelle has a unique mind indeed. I love his style.

If I may, this could be an opportunity to hear from others, with similar experiences. I'll try this one: In late '80's we were taking a friend to the Muskegon Mich. airport. (small airpark) at 6 in the AM. There were only 4 other people in the coffee shop and I recognized Paul Harvey...........I had been listening to him on the radio since 1957. I recognized him from a record jacket my Dad had. My wife said, " Go say hello." So I did. He was so kind and appreciative. He was with his wife and another couple, on his way back to Chicago. Heinvited us to join them and we had a great time at 6 AM in a little airport in West Michigan with Paul Harvey.
