Met Dan Aykroyd today

[zig500]

He was signing crystal head vodka today in New Orleans he is pretty cool

 

[cnodie1]

I got some of that for Christmas. One of the steps in the distilling is running the vodka through a diamond filter. It is pretty smooth.

i got one signed but i think i wont open that one

Very cool. He's a classic.

I'm happy to hear he's not an *******.

I cross paths with all kinds of people in my line of work. For the most part, "famous" ppl just want to be as anonymous as any of us. Respect that and it's all good.

Politicians on the other hand.....I've never met one that didn't leave me feeling like a rape victim. There ain't enough soap or hot water to wash that stink off of you.

 

[CEHollier]

Very Cool

 

[Sully]

He's a great actor! Love the crystal head vodka too. IMHO it's better than goose.

When I was living in CA I was a bartender at a place called "Madeo". it's a 5 star restaurant that was very popular with the movie/TV star set so I met a lot of them. Most were just normal ppl doing a job. Some were total asses some were really great.

Top of the great list was Angela Lansbury. She was a hoot. Bawdy and classy at the same time. They used the restaurant in an episode of "Murder She Wrote" and she came in for dinner occasionally.

Top of the ass list is a tie between Howie Long and Don Johnson. I wouldn't **** on either one of them if they were on fire.

Glad to hear Dan's one of the good ones.

One of the best!

From what I am told, he spends a lot of time in Louisiana. I bumped into him at least 3 times over the last 10 years in the Downtown Lafayette area.

Damn, apparently I went to all the wrong places, or he was never around downtown in the day time. I used to work in the downtown area, until we moved the office to the other side of the Oil Center.

I don't go downtown too often at night time. Last few times I did, it was too many stupid kids, and too many Bros. BRO. BRO, my beer, BRO. Not much of a place to go for a chill night for blues or jazz or anything that doesn't attract douchebags.

I heard he's putting the band back together.





ETA: He must have lost some weight. Last I heard he was really big for awhile.

 

[Emperor]

Damn! He looks alot better there then when I saw him on TV at another function a few months back.

And Donna Dixon? What is it with these woman that refuse to old naturally? It doesn't even look like her!

 

[edrodhdfb]

I seen him in New York at the Big Smoke Cigar Show. He had an awesome table setup with two skull ice sculptures. They were drilled through the head and mouth so they could poor the Vodka in the top hole through a funnel and you put your cup down by the mouth to catch your shot.
The Vodka is actually quite good!

 

[Coastie Paul]

Looks likes he's shed a few pounds. Not sure what the last movie was that I saw him in, but he definitely looks better in your pic.
