You didn't SAY Famous. I could list a few more.

I only gamble when it won't interfere with my Cost of living.

We met Garcia, Wier, and Bill Graham at a party in Oakland in 1979.
I was just looking at the photos of that party today.
I have a nice shot of Jerry passing my wife a doobie with Bobby looking on.
The wife's birthday is soon and I'm going to get the photo printed and framed
for her.

I also met the members of Jefferson Starship in the early 70s when I showed them around Niagara Falls after one of their shows there. No photos of that one.

cheers,
John

 

What an awesome gift idea, I bet she will love that. I know I would =)

 

I've met the wizard of new zealand, ok he speaks at the cathedral square everyday and everyone can but hes famous and I've met him lol

 

Labor Temple, Minneapolis, MN - 1968. Went to see the Dead. Owsley was traveling with them and tried to pick up my friend, she wasn't interested but the good thing was that he took us down to the dressing room where we got to meet all the Dead, including Pig Pen - the bad news, I was so high on orange sunshine i couldn't talk.

Steve Paul's Scene, New York City, 1967, I think. kinda uncertain on the years. My roommates were back door men at Fillmore East. They had passes to all kinds of places. One night we went to Steve Paul's and Larry Corryell was playing. John Hammond got up on stage (about 3" off the floor!) and jammed with him. Didn't meet them but at the table next to us was Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell. We all talked a little and before the night was over Mitch Mitchell asked me to go with them to a party. Unfortunately, my roommates were very overprotective and talked me out of it. STUPID!! But Hendrix and got up and jammed with Hammond and Larry Corryell and I never ever saw him better than that.

Then in my older years here, was at The Dog House in Seattle - next to us was Eddie Vedder and Smashing Pumpkins - except for Billy Corgan. We shared with birthday cake with all of them and Eddie gave me the napkin holder.

i think that's it. i have hazy hazy memories of a tour bus and a motel - but for the life of me, I can't remember the band or the town . . . :-O

 

I met Patrick Moraz (played keyboard for Yes and later for The Moody Blues). I was friends with his girlfriend and they both came over to my place one night. We smoked a lot of joints and watched Spinal Tap together. Patrick kept saying, “it’s really like that!”

I also met Jimmy Messina, Hall and Oats, Henry Winkler, The Moody Blues, Isabella Rosalini, Bob Dole (but I didn’t vote for him)…

I sat on stage once with Eric Clapton at the wisky-a-go-go

There’s more, I just can’t remember: it's late.

 

Does Jack Herrer count? I met him at a Post-"Failure to get the marijuana inititive on the ballot yet again" party in Ojai.

 

I talked for about 40 minutes with WAVY GRAVY aka hugh romney (the emcee at woodstock 'what we have in mind is breakfast....') hearing stories of all the amazing people he's met. that was a very sweet experience.

 

Reading this whole thread makes me wonder if having a great deal of money makes you less of a hippy. What I consider to be some of the great things that hippies have done such as alternative building methods all came about as result of a lack of money.

Some hippes that are well known in Australia or within certain social groups within Australia (1) Meg Miller.Not so much famous in herself but the Grass Roots magazine that she publishes is well known in Australia.I met her at an alternative farming expo. I have written several articles for her magazine, so I thought I would introduce myself. (2) Jill Redwood is well known in environmental circles. She often gets threatening phone calls from planet fuckers. She reckons the rubbish dump at Canberra is one of the best she has ever been to. About have the things in her pole frame house came from the tip. I also like to scavenge the tip and am into recycling.(3) Paul Recher was a presenter on the Gardening Australia. This is one of the highest rating TV programs. He originally hailed from USA but now has a business in northern NSW producing seeds for all sorts of useful plants you have never heard of. Anyway his PC once sent my PC a virus.As a result we have been in touch on and off since. (4) Abbie Heathcote.Only really known in hippy circles. Her and her late partner Neil Douglas were perhaps the original hippies in Australia. They both certainly knew how to think outside the square. She has written a few books and is an artist. I wanted to catch up with someone else, so one day I knocked on her door. I had previously met her at a Confest.Anyway I ended staying at her house for about five hours.
She wanted some help starting a website, so it ws just as well I was passing through.

 

I said hello to George Carlin once. He said Hi back, and we both went on our way. He's a regular guy.

 

I remember that guy! I thought he was still writing.

 

i met bunny wailer woo-hoo

 

The writer Jim Hogshire, and the daughter of Lawrece Ferlinghetti (sp?)

I've met a bunch of musicians,but none that would be in the hipster word that has been referred to

actually no, I also met the guitarist of the Left Banke a while back, Jeff was his name I think
