Since this is no longer claim to fame but cool stories of bumping into celebrities, here’s mine:
Was walking home one night with my brother and we pass by a late night grocery store and he looks inside and says “holy shit that’s gene simmons!”
I look and see a tall, very tanned long haired, well dressed gentleman standing in line at the checkout. At this point, this was before his reality show so most people, me included only knew him with full kiss makeup. So I say “no it isn’t” he says “of course it is, I’ll bet you anything” I say ok you’re on.
We walk in and approach him, we notice he’s standing next to what looks like an 18 year old prostitute of the run away variety.
I say “excuse me, can you settle a bet for us?” He looks at me and says “ that depends, what’s in it for me?”
I look at him puzzled, and he goes “I want a piece of the wager, what did you bet?”
Thinking quickly I say “ we bet a smack in the head, you can have one too if you’d like”
He laughs and then says go ahead, what is it?
I say are you gene simmons? He says yes, we say nice to meet you and shake hands and begin to walk off. He calls out to us as we’re leaving:
“A piece of advice kid, never do anything for free!”
We glanced back and chuckled and walked out into the night.
