Best celeb was Joyce Gracie (extrememly famous Brazilian figher) and the worst celeb was Dan Snyder (Owner of the Redskins). 2 best celeb(s) was Muse (a band) they signed a stack of bev naps for the staff. Most politicians were very cool, some seemed a little distant. I served in Washington D.C. and served celebs and politicians on the regular.

They have their moments just like the rest of us though the entertainment industry is full of pathological narcissists. I've got stories..*zips mouth* The only celebs I'd be intimidated by at all are Tony Bourdain and Tom Waits. Imagine waiting on either of them? I half dream of it and fear it dreadfully at the same time. With my luck I'd be in the weeds on either occasion. Political figures I've met interestingly enough were very, very nice. Stephanie Tubbs Jones was an ANGEL. *misses her* Having said that I've never met Rove or Axelrod or Axelrove..same dif. I think America is too wound up in celebrity, marketing and all that rot anyway. Serve them if they appear and "Let It Be" cuz in a way they get paid a hell of a lot more for doing something that is while demanding in it's way not anymore "important" than your job or a fireman's. They get enough attention for it as it is. Good service, no more, no less than what any other patron would expect is my motto with celebs. Alec Baldwin can be an ass too though.

In my restaurant bar I've waited on three of the spurs (their names escape me, I'm not much of a sports fan) But they were all very polite, and tipped well. A local college guy comes in wearing his basketball jersey, when I ask him for his ID so he could have a beer he goes "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!? MY JERSEY IS HANGING IN THE GYM BITCH" it's irony for you I live in san antonio where the spurs are gods.

Well, Patrick Ewing Jr. (big basketball player of the town, and mostly known for his father) walks over to my brother and says "HEY I KNOW YOU! Can I take a picture with you?" My brother just smiled and said, "why yes, yes you can." Funny to see because everyone thought he would be an ass... other way around. Very TALL and nice kid!
