barbkm Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I saw Tim Ribbons, Susan Sarandon and their son at the Mcarren Park show last year. I was waiting by the bus, and they walked by, knocked on the bus tour, and were let in. I guess if I had an Oscar, I could have got on too. And I think I saw this girl who played a child killer on Law & Order -- long, blond wavy hair, big blues eyes and she was playing a pre-teen sociopath. Think I saw her at Pines Theater. And the NBC Channel 4 weather guy, Chris Cimino, at the Starland Ballroom in 06. Anyone else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawthorne Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I saw Ron MacLean (CBC's Hockey Night in Canada host) at a Massey Hall, Toronto show a few years back. Cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SeattleC Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I saw an entourage of dreadlocked stoners at the Spokane show in '08. They looked legendary, if not famous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I heard on the radio that Sean McAdam (providence journal? sports writer) was at the Lowell show, he called them the best band in America, couldnt agree more. Thats about it lol Oh, little edit here, this guy has made a concert appearance... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I saw Jeff Tweedy at the show on Friday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Somnambulist Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I saw Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke at a Town Hall NYC show in 1999. Nora Guthrie was a few rows in front of me when I saw Wilco at the same place in 2001. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
W(TF) Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I saw Ron MacLean (CBC's Hockey Night in Canada host) at a Massey Hall, Toronto show a few years back. Cool. MacLean's a huge Wilco fan, I know he was seen at the 2007 Massey show (along with Ron Sexsmith). In that year's best playoff series he announced the start of game 7 with "Impossible Boston, Unlikely Montreal!!". For any culture-starved masses who don't know, Ron is the dude on the left, Don Cherry is his nemesis/foil on the right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest zacincceo Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I just met Spencer in line for food @ UIC, nice kid! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky speaks Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Well, Neil Young was the headliner at MSG and I had seats where family and friends of the band sit as well as those with complimentary tickets so I don't know if they were all there for Wilco but here's the list.....Bill Murray, Fred Armisen, John McEnroe, Noel Gallagher, Gem, Amy Poehler, Timothy Hutton, Norah Jones and all the members of Wilco including Spencer who either sat near us when NY played or when we saw them back stage. Those were the ones I could identify. Big score that night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 i've seen a few local ones here (mostly when we weazel our into the after-parties!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I saw the decorator from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy coming out of the bathroom at MSG last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, Jim and Dwight from The Office have been seen at some shows. p.s. "all the members of Wilco including Spencer"...is that a prediction? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats about it lolI can't believe that you and I would consider McAdam a celebrity but, yes, I saw him at the Worcester Neil Young/Wilco show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For any culture-starved masses who don't know, Ron is the dude on the left, Don Cherry is his nemesis/foil on the right. You will know Wilco has made it big when you see Cherry showing up for shows. The dude knows how to dress, check out the Maple Leaf cuff links. The Wilcos ought to drop the Nudie suits and get a bunch of suits from Cherry's tailor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dude Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Monica Lewinsky showed up at a show in NYC several years ago. Unfortunately, Wilco passed on the opportunity to cover Pink Floyd's 'Have a Cigar'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I saw Eric Bogosian at the Barnes & Noble in Burlington, MA. Edit: I also saw Steven Tyler at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA - which, is just down the road from the Barnes and Noble at which I saw Eric Bogosian, as I've already stated. So, if you're in MA, and you want to hunt celebrities, you could do worse than Burlington. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
