We all know Zack Galifinakis pops up at shows from time to time, and is a clear fan of the band. Even McLovin' is known to sing the band's praises.
But has anyone ever had a fanboy MMJ chat with someone slightly well-known?
Joffrey Lupul, a guy who plays hockey for the Toronto Maple Leafs, is constantly posting Twitter pics from MMJ shows (ALL OVER THE WORLD) and keeps on spreading the word as to how awesome My Morning Jacket is. I even met him at Bonnaroo after the screening of Louisiana Fairytale, and we talked about how the movie was awesome but how we were bummed that Jim didn't show up to perform. REALLY cool guy.
Also at Bonnaroo 2011, I ran into none other than Gina Gershon while waiting in the pit. My girlfriend asked if she was a huge fan and Gina replied, "I wouldn't be here if I wasn't". As the show began, she made a prompt bee-line outta the pit and then we saw her on the side of the stage two songs later. Ah, celebrity perks.
Anyone else ever run into anyone famous (or quasi-famous) at a show?
I high fived Cheech Marin from the rail at Bonnaroo last year.

McLovin was at the Charlotte and Raleigh shows, posted Spontaneous Curation requests on the Roll Call forum, and tweets regularly about MMJ.
Liz Winstead, author and co-creator of The Daily Show, has tweeted about MMJ, though it could have been a joke. I figured, if she were a fan, she'd be at Brooklyn.
Saw Kirsten Dunst in line outside of the RCMH show, pretty sure either one or both of the Olsen twins were at T5
The Portland peeps saw Amy Poehler in the audience. I'll keep an eye out for celebs tomorrow night :wink:
I saw Zach G in the wings at Mountain Jam last year and at the rooftop bar of T5 for Evil Urges and Beyond after Everest opened. Someone saw Bill Murray at a show, I think.
Seth MacFarlane is pretty famous :wink:
vanessa carlton was in the crowd for newport this year. somebody probably considers her a celebrity.

@mymorningjacket and @mintzplasse are having a lovefest today. I know b/c I am twitter savvy now, with all my Greek tweeting and whatnot.
I could swear I saw Rose Byrne (from Bridesmaids, Damages) wandering around MSG last December.

Yeah, somebody had posted a video awhile back on the PJ forum of one of the twins seriously rocking out to State of Love and Trust. It was pretty cool. But then she noticed the guy filming her and got pissed (and rightly so).

"Mumford and Sons and My Morning Jacket are great bands," Young said. "I love them both and I know them well. I feel good about saying that."
Zach G. showed up to the VIP section by the mixing board at the final Wiltern show 5 seconds before the lights went out. It had to have been choreographed.

Dave could douche-bag up a Summer's Eve factory.
He played here a couple of weeks ago and someone was talking about how the show was (i opted for the football tent for the FSU/Clemson game so I didn't see their set). Anyway my friend said they had some kind of sound issue and the sound went out. Apparently after the song, the sound came back on and he said "did we just rock so fucking hard that the speakers blew?" What a Dave Grohl thing to say.

One of them was there, wearing fur, looking disinterested and quite rabid.

I saw Chris Fowler, host of ESPN College Gameday at the PC show on the 27th.
He was in the first row of the balcony and looked line he was having a good time.
