January 5, 200521 yr I've met Bill Murry and Cal Ripkin Jr. both when I was working at Walmart. I met Bill Murry on a Monday. It was extremely slow and I was bored out of my mind. I saw him checking out some movies and I asked him if I could help him find anything. It hadn't clicked at this point that it was Bill Murry. He politely said no and continued checking out the movies. I walked off and that's when it clicked. I looked back and did a double take. It was Bill Murry. I ran to the back and said to the first person I saw "Bill Murry's here!" They said, "Yeah, I know. He was here last Wednsday. He's filming that movie, Osmosis Jones." I don't remember what day it was when I met Cal Ripkin Jr, but it was another slow day. I hadn't gone on my break yet so I walked over to the jewelry department and gave them the keys to the electronics department. I went outside for 15 minutes and when I came back everyone was like "Brad, where have you been? Management is freaking out. There's a very important person here." I'm thinking "Oh great, a wal-mart big wig. Just what I need." So I casually walk back to my department and my manager comes running up to me freaking out, not pissed or mad or anything, just freaking out and rushed. I remember because he actually slid across the floor when he tried to stop. He's like "Brad, where you been? There's a very important person here and we need to get into the game case." So explain that I went on break and got jewelry to cover. I went over and got my keys back and there is this dude with his kids waiting by the PS2 case. I asked him what he wanted and he ended up getting Smugglers Run and a PS2 multi-tap. I cashed him out and after he left my manager comes up to me with a big grin on his face and says "Brad, do you know who that was." Now, I should've recognized the guy, but it had been such a slow day, once again, my brain couldn't think of it. So I said , "No." He's like "That was Cal Ripkin Jr." And I replied, "Oh yeah. Cool."

January 5, 200521 yr I work on a television program up here in Maine which shows Christian music videos, called "WMSJ Backstage". We are connected with 89.3 WMSJ, the Christian radio station in the area. Recently, we started taking our show out of the studio to interview the various performers that sing at WMSJ concerts. I have met Joel Hanson, Mark Schultz, Matthew West, Trevor Morgan, Sarah Kelly, and the members of the bands Avalon and Jars of Clay. It's been really cool to meet these artists - they're all fun to be around and are very down to earth.
