So who is the coolest famous person you have ever met?  I have not met many famous people, I was managing a comedy club about a decade ago and met Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong fame, he was pretty cool but happened to be wiped from a long USA tour when he showed up to do a one nighter in Toronto, so we exchanged maybe 10 words.

A few years before that I had the luck to meet up with Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley at a local Toronto nightclub.  I had always been a huge KISS fan and got the chance to buy him a beer and talk for about ten minutes.  He even passed along one of those guitar business cards and I will always remember how amazingly friendly and cool he was, I really wish I could find that card but I think it might be buried away with my bell-botton jeans somewhere in the garage.

It is funny but after meeting him I always hoped I would get into a business that would allow me to have printed one of those types of business cards with a cool shape referencing my profession but now that I sell toilets and urinals I decided it would not be that appealing….

Toronto is a great place to bump into celebs if you know the right places to hang-out.  So next time TIFF is in town why not go down to the entertainment district and see if you can catch your favorite celebrity.
