Yes, I'm an 80's movie superfreak and I'm super stoked to have met the great Dan Aykroyd tonight at BevMo in Walnut Creek, CA. He was signing bottles of his Crystal Head Vodka as well as other memorabilia so of course I had him sign my copy of Ghostbusters and a copy of The Great Outdoors for my brother. I even exchanged movie lines with him! I said to him "Looking good Luis" and hardly missing a beat he said "Feeling Good Billy Ray"! Ha! I loved it, totally made my week.

Anyways, I was all giddy so had to share

Dan came through my work the other day, but we have policies on approaching celebrities and the like, so I had to keep distance. Was very cool to see him in action thou in a none public situation, just being himself.

I feel bad that due to his alternative beliefs he was shunned by Hollywood. He's a very talented and intelligent man. I hope we have many more opportunities to see his creative writing skills in action.

Give the guy some credit - he's responsible for some great comedies. Also seems like a fairly decent guy; I'd like to meet him, too.

I should also note he's looking really damn good - the last time I saw him he was on the heavy side, from those pictures it looks like he lost a lot of weight, hopefully in a good way.

He's a Spiritualist.

It's a religion that believes in ghosts instead of a traditional god.

Don't quote me on all that though.

Wicked. I've always heard he was a pretty decent guy in person. Glad to hear that held true for your meeting.
