I helped Andy Roddick buy a speaker for his iPod back when I worked at an Apple store – he went with a Bose.
I was returning to work, with a burrito bowl from Chipotle, and caught an elevator with Sam Rockwell and his german shepherd and he said, "Chipotle, huh?" To which I replied, "Yup." and then got off at my floor.
I was at a party in a bar sponsored by Kangol and drunkenly started talking to the dude next to me while waiting for my free drinks, turns out he was the manager for DJ Quik and I said I was a fan. He told me Quik would love to hear that and pointed to the person at the end of the bar leaning against the wall. I stumble over and say, "Hey! I love... (cue drunken brainfart) that one song..." I proceed to start humming the tune to "Tonite" and say, "Yeah..." He told me he wished he were as drunk as me. I informed him that it was an open bar and that he could be if he wanted. We laughed and I stumbled away.
I was at my old local spot having a beer after work when someone sits next to me, orders a beer, and says, "What a day..." to which I replied, "Tell me about it." We subtly raise glasses, and he walks off to make a phone call. The bartender excitedly came and asked if I knew who that was. I didn't see his face but the voice sounded familiar. She informed me it was H. Jon Benjamin.
