I've been there twice. Both had to do with the news. First time, I was a kid. Local teachers were on strike so my older brother and I showed up to where the strike was.
There was a news crew. My brother and I were in the background hamming it up then we started arguing, then a full fledged brawl in the background, as Mr. Lynch was being interviewed. Second time was in Montana. There is a renaissance group called the SCA, and this was like the 3rd meeting I attended. It was at a park, and it was fight practice. So I had a full suit of armor on, sword and shield. My first time ever fighting like this. The guy I was fighting was a 20 year vet doing this stuff. A news Crew saw us, stopped by started doing thier thing. Lucky me. They filmed me getting my ass handed to me. Falling down, getting wailed on. Thank god, I had a helmet on. Not for the protection, just nobody could identify me, while I looked like a chump. Hehe |

No, I was close once though. I was working at a place that was going to be on "Hotel Hell", and I quit because I like anonymity.

I was in a group shot on Regis and Kathy Lee, back in the day. We lived nextdoor to the son of famous Louisville Cardinals coach Howard Schnelenburger (butchered the spelling, I'm sure). His wife made pineapple coffee tables, and they were featured on the show. The Louisville matching band and cheerleaders were there also. I was too young to realize how popular that show was, or how unique it was to be on that show at that time.

I was on a commercial for the University of Wisconsin, that they would show during halftime of their games. I was in a choir singing one of the school songs (Varsity). I must have sang that song 100 times when it was being filmed.

What a coincidence. Yeah, I grew up in Louisville.

Yeah, I had tickets for a show at the Garden. 6/28/1991. The group of us went down to this kookie burger spot down in the village and John Norris from MTV was in there setting up for one of his shows, I think it was actually to cover the big concert. They decided to interview us about the show. Generally I’m not comfortable having my image out there for public consumption and covet privacy. I don’t have any proper social media accounts aside from these toy collector sites and my Flickr account to display the toys that I don’t have room to display.

I was also on the news a few years ago. A hwy patrol trooper lived across the street from me. Turns out, he used his Police influence to hit on women during traffic stops, and took it too far with one. A separate police unit set up an internet Sting on him, and caught him in the act (the act of being an inappropriate perv). He got fired, and moved out in a matter of days, real fast. The news crews were staking out his house, across from mine. They interviewed me. It was one of those classic " I never would have thought my neighbor was like that" kind of interviews.
