I alsomet Kevin Costner in a sort of random way. He's a baseball fanatic, more specifically a college baseball fanatic. And the College World Series is held in Omaha. Interestingly, one of my best friends has an uncle who is the chairman of the board of directors for the CWS Omaha operations, and he gives my friend VIP tickets, which my friend in turn invites me to go to the game with them. Well, VIP's get access to a special VIP refreshments tent, with basic ball park staples (nachos, soda, popcorn) and some seriously good food as well - all free. During a slow inning I went down to the tent to stock up on chow, and while I was filling up my soda cup, someone behind me says "Excuse me, can I get by you to grab a cup?" I say sure, move aside, and turn to engage in the usual chit chat while he's grabbing his stuff. But when I turn around, I realize that it's Costner. Naturally this caught me off guard, but I rebounded quickly and stuck to the small talk "Who you rootin' for?" "Who do you think will take the series?" type stuff. He was actually a pretty cool guy. More normal than you'd think. So don't judge him based on Water World. I actually have a gift for “just bumping into” famous folk. I alsomet Kevin Costner in a sort of random way.

For a while, they had Friday night concerts in the park with surprisingly decent talent. Long story short, Al was playing Friday night, and so we were going to spend the day at the park and see the show at night. That morning I was waiting in line for the go-karts when Al, Bermuda, and most of his band got in line right behind me. The one thing I will say about the guy is that for as popular as he is (especially back then when he was at the peak of his popularity), he's somehow maintained a sense of humility. He wasn't letting the park personnel treat him special, and before it was out turn to go, he was just chatting with those of us in line like he was a "regular guy". We gave him advice on what rides to hit later, and he was honestly thankful. After the concert we went to get CD's autographed, and he actually remembered us and thanked us for the suggestions! Sadly, my autographed CD case was stolen several years ago, but I still have the disc itself, and it's still one of my favorite albums: Alapalooza @37 & 38
