Ron Welty was the drummer for the Offspring for a few years before starting his own band called Steady Ground after being booted by the other members of the Offspring. I've actually met all the members of the band when someone invited me to one of their concerts in San Francisco back when they were steaming hot. I got to meet them backstage after the show. The singer is tall and the show was fantastic.
Little did I know that I would be auditioning for Steady Ground a few years later. I got an email response to my craigslist.org ad that expressed their interest in bringing me in to audition but the audition went bust when I was attacked three weeks prior and left with a sprained knee. The song that I had to sing was alright but it was difficult to sing with all the pain that I was feeling which made me feel rather insecure in front of one of the biggest drummers in the world. The Offspring have sold millions of records.
I did not get to join the band called Steady Ground but I did get to meet the drummer. It was cool to stand in front of him as he pounded away on his drum set. I think back about that audition and think about the oddities of life. Part of the reason why I'm mentioning these encounters is because of how I think of life and happenstances of it. I just love it when two and two go together.

Encounters With Celebrities/Jerry Seinfeld- Shoshanna Lonstein
This was one of more stranger encounters that I've had. It happened in 1996... I think..... in front of a Noah's Bagels in West Hollywood on a sunny day. I saw a gray Porsche and for some reason knew that it was Jerry Seinfeld who was driving it.... I guess it was instinct or something..... maybe it's a gift of some sort.... who knows.
I then left the place before I could actually see Jerry Seinfeld but came back a few minutes later because I guess that I wanted to get something from the place.... their bagels are delicious. As I was walking into the cafe..... him and his then girlfriend were sitting at a table and gave me the strangest look. I didn't know what to do but I got the impression that they were having a good time. They both looked at me as if they admired the way I looked... or something....I can't necessarily describe the look but it was a funny one nevertheless.
It was interesting time back in those days and it was also a time when Seinfeld was on television and doing extraordinarily well. It was an excellent show and I pretty much got the humor most of the time but what made it funny was the fact that the characters were vulnerable. The creator of the show who is Larry David will be in the new Three Stooges movie and he is playing a nun! Jerry Seinfeld went on to create an advertising agency and also produced an animated film about bees.... which I liked.
The movie made me like bees! How about that? Have you ever had a bee fly into your eye before.... though? I have had one fly into mine.... not fun. Ironically...... the restaurant where Jerry Seinfeld proposed to his current wife is the same restaurant where I ended up getting a job a few years later! Now..... I just need a show on television and it needs to be syndicated.

Encounters With Celebrities/Christina Applegate/Cameltoe
This encounter was one of the more intense ones. Christina Applegate owned a cabaret club with her mom called Villavekula and it was in West Hollywood. I would frequent the place to listen and watch this cabaret singer perform. The singer took a liking to me and took me home with her one night where we went at it for a long time...... I call those sessions or marathons.
She then gave me a gorgeous Yves St. Laurent shirt and took me to a private party one night. It was there where I met Christina Applegate. She was sitting at a table with her mom and dad. She stood up when she was me and we just stared into each others eyes as if we were studying each other's souls. I looked at her up and down while noticing a....uh.... distinct.... cameltoe. I think that she knew that it was there because the pants that she wore were tight.
I shyed away because of the intensity and ended up going home after that but it was memorable. I have never seen a cameltoe before and am always astonished when I do see one on a woman. Christiana Applegate looked fit as a fiddle on that night and I'm sure that she still does. The place ended up closing but the cabaret singer is still performing. I ran into the singer again about three years ago and she ended turning gay! How about that?
