...and a helicopter flew in so I went out and marshalled it into a spot where it could land. I go to ask the pilot if he needs any fuel and I see Bill Gates hop out of the back seat. I thought about shaking his hand but I would have felt guilty, I own a Mac lol. You peeps probably don't care but it made my day.

What would have been cool is if you would have greeted him and acted as if you didn't know who he was. Like if you would have said something like, "Good afternoon, sir. Do you take helicopter rides often?" and some celebs get a kick out of that because they get so tired of screaming fans and autographs and all of the "I am your biggest fan" testimonials. Sometimes they just want escape that and be a "regular" person.
I had no clue as to who Barry and Robin Gibb were when I met them a few years back. I took a temporary job as a stage hand when they were having one of those weekend concert events during the summer and some of the performers were highly pissed off. Barry and Robin seemed to be pretty cool about it and so while they were waiting to go on stage for the sound check we were backstage laughing, joking, and trading stories about live concert events.. Still, the whole time I am talking to these guys I STILL have no idea as to who they really are.
So at some point during the conversation I asked them if they knew who the main act was for the event (I had not kept up with the news that much) and Robin got this big grin on his face and said, "Yeah, I think its supposed to be one of those groups from the 70's.. what is it Barry? The Bee Gees or something like that?" And now that I look back on the situation I recall that they were attempting to drop hints but it was obvious to them that I STILL had no idea.
Anyhow, the equipment gets fixed, they go on stage for the sound check and the grass field is about 1/3 full of people screaming. I have never seen that many people excited about a sound check and I finally discovered who these guys were. That completely BLEW my mind!

I wonder if it's some business that leases helicopters. Remember, if it fucks, floats, or flies, it's cheaper to rent, even if you're a billionaire.______________________
