What's your 90s claim to fame?

Has anyone got any random/funny/tenuous claims to fame from the 90s? Eg. You made some sandwiches when working in a hotel which Shakespear’s Sister ate, or you delivered a newspaper to Heavy D’s house, or you appeared in the background of a Michael Bolton video for 0.5 seconds?!

I was stationed in the Army with the same Ordinance unit as Turbo B from SNAP! We had a few jam sessions in my room at the barracks.

Oh ****. That was the 80's.

I was present for the entire recording of Mind Over Splatter by Zoetrope at Streeterville Recording Studio in Chicago. That was 90's. Lot's of juicy story's that I can't really talk about here.

My band opened up for Chaos Theory and Machine Gun Kelly. Ooops, that was 00's.

I'm friends with Pugsly from the Kevin Matthews Show. Thats a big chunk of time.

I'm still humble.

You may kiss the ring.

You won't believe it, but I met Santa Claus a bunch of times as a kid. Pretty impressive imo, they had lines out the mall for it every time.

Technically our second gig was opening for Alexisonfire (they weren't on the bill) the 'headliner' was called something like Arkata if I remember right.

Nice.

I came back state side on leave from the Army in 1988 and went on a road trip with Zoetrope since my friend had joined as their new singer, and we headed up to Metalfest in Milwaukee at the Eagles Ballroom, where I met Jason Newstead when he was still in Flotsam. I also met the guys from Testament, Murphy's Law, Exodus, Fates Warning, and Voivod. Probably some others too, the memories are faded. Besides the Murphy's Law dudes, I was the only one backstage with a crew cut. ****ing hair everywhere.
