I totally forgot a couple more.
From 4th to 8th grade I went to school with Mike Ness's (creator/leader of Social Distortion) son, and visited their house and stuff a couple times too. Got a signed Social D cd also.
And my best friends dad since I was like 7 is Bill Viola, one of the first video artists, and who has been exhibited at the Guggenheim, the Getty, National Gallery in London etc.
