I had a similar experience about six years ago. First, I noticed Richard ahead of me in the security queue at ROC, and then we happened to be on the same flight to DTW. During boarding, he referred to the CRJ as a "princess plane." As you say, he was tough to miss.

It's because they care more than they could. If they couldn't care less, they wouldn't have posted.

Had a family friend at Brian Wilson's show in Orlando last night.

Back in 2011, I was taking a course for work and the instructor said he lived next door to "Brian Wilson" when he was growing up. Since this was right after the 2010 World Series, I thought he meant the relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants (at the time) who was outstanding in the Woeld Series, not the singer from The Beach Boys.

Louie Anderson on this morning's DL4874 SEA-EUG. Boarded late, seemed kind of familiar but didn't piece it together until after the flight waiting on the jet bridge for bags. Very warm and friendly, especially towards the entire flight crew from start to finish.

Has anyone ever seen Bianca del Rio on a flight? He's the winner of Season 8 of RuPaul's Drag Race and a Delta DM.

Not yet, but I've flown with a few of the other queens. I always seem to bump into Willam, including SYD>LAX and the KLM Crown Club in AMS.

Also, being based in PIT, have done the same with Sharon Needles. She lives in me neighborhood, so that's a more regular sighting, I guess. Kind of neat.

I unknowingly was in the MIA SkyClub at the same time as Detox and Manila Luzon (found out from another patron, didn't recognize either out of drag) a few weeks ago. They were in the workstation area and were being like absurdly loud/on FaceTime/talking seriously inappropriately to the point I literally couldn't get work done on my laptop with headphones on and had to get an agent to shut it down. They weren't very happy lol. It's the only time I've ever gone to an agent to complain about another patron.

How else are small-time "celebrities" supposed to call attention to themselves?

Jason Patric (Lost Boys, amongst others).
JFK-SFO in D1
He was kind enough to swap seats with me.

What a shame, the MIA SC is a great out-station SC. Probably one of my favorites. There are three seats near the stairs and the hallway to the restrooms that are usually empty. Its a great little hiding spot to avoid this kind of nonsense.
