i was just wondering if anyone had ever run into a cool celeb at bonnaroo (ie a movie star, politician or anyone else of note). i am a celebunerd and love hearing about this stuff.
my encounters at ACL include CJ from top chef (my fav!) and seeing george strait hanging out with his family without his shirt on (weiiiird, haha).

I thought I saw Paolo Nutini at a show last year, but it may have just been some random guy - I didn't get a good look. I was SO hoping I'd see him around somewhere though, so I like to pretend it was him. Other than that, nobody, so I'm hoping someone else has some good stories.
"We're no longer called Sonic Death Monkey. We're on the verge of becoming Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but just for tonight, we are Barry Jive and his Uptown Five. "
I smoked a jay with Dave Attel and some other guy outside a bar in NY once. Has nothing to do with shows, but he was mentioned and I like that story.
EDIT: Post originally said "...smoked a NO NO WORD with Dave Attel..." cuz I know that's supposed to be protocol around here, but it strongly evoked other images...not that there's anything wrong with that

yeah, i was definitely on the look out for him, too. i was sad to find out from looking at the pictures posted on bonnaroo.com that he did in fact kinda sorta ride through the crowd on a golf cart.
as for me, no celeb bonnaroo encounters...yet! maybe this year...i'd especially love to meet the guys from mgmt. ;D
I met Wayne from the Flaming Lips last year after their set as I wandered around Centeroo Poking my head in places they shouldn't have gone, but look, low and behold, I met Wayne What a nice, genuinely interested guy.
Paolo Nutini's a meek looking dude... I was about 10 feet from him when they were doing the photo shoot for Spin Magazine in the press area. He honestly looked painfully shy with everything that was going on. (That was also while I was in the middle of my heat stroke situation... Ugh.)
Dresden Dolls This was a couple of hours prior to their show just hanging out in the crowd watching a band and playing with the ball. Of course the first one is Beattle Bob waiting for the Flips.
I met Stephen Malkmus in 06 on the way to the porta-potties. I can't believe no one else recognized him. I wish I woulda got a pic with him, but I shook his hand and told him I couldn't wait for his set. He said, "We're gonna have fun." No truer words have been spoken
I also saw Shooter in the crowd watching My Morning Jacket in 06 and one of the Conchords during Feist. Saw Gabby La La walking around Centeroo in 05.
Side Note: Apparently Amanda and Brian (Dresden Dolls) like to make the most of their festival experiences. My gf and I ran into them skipping and giggling like schoolkids at Lolla in 06. They're awesome.

Shit, I am jealous of that.
I always see people and think.. That looks like someone famous... but I can never place them.
Last year while standing in the front area of the VIP bleachers while wathing the Police, looked over and there was John Butler with his children...we just waved hello and did not want to bother him especially since his family was with him....my buddy was like dude lets smoke him out and I was like he has kids with him....He seemed very nice
Whoo Thundergod!
