Third year driving celebrities for Salt Lake comic-con starts today
We're encouraged not to talk to them when they're in our vehicle unless they initiate the conversation, which they often do, and I've had some really fun experiences with that. Here's who I most hope to drive this year. - Charisma Carpenter (top 3 on my "hall pass" list) - Andy Serkis (voice/mo-cap actor for Gollum and others) - Zachary Levi (I'm a big "Chuck" fan) - Daryl "Chill" Mitchell (from "Galaxy Quest," but I really liked him in "The John Larroquette Show" too) - Karen Gillan (for her Scottish accent alone) - John Rhys-Davies (cuz how could you not?)

How did you get that job. I would almost be tempted to fly out to be a...
...driver for that event too...lol

the real estate agent who helped us buy our house recruited us
but anyone can volunteer. The con has hundreds of volunteers in a bunch of different areas (some of which might be as good or better) and they're always looking for more. ** Edited by HokieMacDaddy at 9/20/2023, 12:46:52 PM

Do they provide the limos or sedans?
HokieMacDaddy HokieMacDaddy OP
They rent premium SUVs for us to drive
Though I think it would be hilarious if we used our POVs - "Here, Mr. Celebrity, let's squeeze you into this 2006 Civic coupe ..."

That's an OMG list coming....even the POSTPONED list is impressive
definitely had a crush on Lea Thompson. And would it be inappropriate to walk up to Dana-Wheeler Nicholson and ask for her towel because my car just hit a water buffalo? ** Edited by statmanfromHCyrs at 9/20/2023, 10:30:54 AM

Krysten Ritter will be
my next wife. You'll see. And then I'll laugh at all you lizards! bwa-ha-haaaaaa! Nice list. I'd need to fan off after any several of those. (Alexandra Daddario!) I'm not a star struck type, but would love to meet M J Fox before it's too late.
