Around 99 or 2000. I was in the Navy, on the ship, the USS Constellation and they were shooting part of the movie. Pearl Harbor on board the ship. And we'd been out uh shooting for about 12 hours and then we did another 6 hours Ops afterwards. I've been on board about 18 hours and I came down through the island and that's where the officers birthing and, and heads are. And coming out 1 of the officers, heads was Alec Baldwin. And as he came out of the head, I saw him. I said, hey, aren't you Alec Baldwin? And he said, yes I am but I'm not signing any autographs. I said I didn't ask you for your autograph, you ass hat. And I pushed him out to the side and kind of walked past him but yeah that was my meeting with Alec Baldwin.

In September of 2022. Obama came to the Space Coast and came to visit a tiny little coffee shop which my then boyfriend worked at at the time. He texted me that morning saying Obama's here, I instantly got dressed fed, the dogs, ran out the door, literally ran because we live like a block away. Unfortunately, secret security had already blocked off the entire block at that point in time. So, I spent like an hour or 2 just chatting with the secret security guy. By the time Obama left and they cleared the whole thing, I walked in to the cafe. So our Obama was sitting notice the half drunk glass foreign juice. And for reasons, I still cannot explain. I chugged the rest of that. Use so yeah, my experience is drinking Obama's leftover OJ. For better for worse.

So in the early 2000s, things were wild here in the Daytona area. I don't think I actually hooked up with any legitimate celebrities.
