OK.
Sorry to trounce in, but working with Hollywood Poker/Hollywood Affiliates the past 4 years has earned me some pretty fantastic shoulder brushing and list of names to drop… so here goes

Poker Celebs:
James Woods and Vince van Patten, our site sponsors. Obv.
Doyle Brunson- A proper Gentleman. Met him in 2k6 and crossed paths in LV again this year. Ever impressive and I can’t thank him enough for what he’s done for my favorite game.
Mike Caro.
Negraneu- spilled a drink on him at pur, and he pegged me for a Canadian immediately. Hilarity.
Chris Ferguson- Poached some sandwiches from the catering table at the HP booth at the gaming lifestyle expo in 2k6. i thought it was hilarious that FT wasn’t feeding him.

Hollywood Celebs:
James Garner
Shannon Elizabeth
Tara Reid
Jason Alexander
Dennis Quaid
Pam Gidley
Bob Goen
Josh Malina
Erik Palladino
Jon Kelly
Josh Malina

The Hob-knobbing is a definite perk of this job ;)

And in almost all cases, the celebs I’ve had opportunity to meet and chat with have been extremely cool and down to earth.

I think my favorite line from any of them tho, had to be Ferguson:
” ‘scuse me Mark, but I’m awful hungry. Don’t spose I could trouble you for a sandwich?”

I’m sure his choice of dining location had nothing to do with the fact that we had a dozen Playboy models crowded around a dodge charger at the time ;)
