The limo driver

Those are my Friends Chad & Natalie.

I life in Denver. I am a limousine driver. This is my Blog.

I get to see some wild & hilarious stuff & I'll tell you about some if it here. I do want to protect the privacy of my passengers, and will do my best to do so! But some things just have to be told.

Like the time Alanis Morissette's chihuahua humped my leg, while I was driving the Turtle top Van -Those vans are great by the way, I'd choose a turtle top any day over a limousine.

Or the bachelorette party where all the girls decided it would be a good idea to take off their bras & throw them out the window on Larimar street. And then decided an hour later that they would like them back. Needless to say, we found none of them.

Or the day I took Diane Richie shopping -- Lionel Richie's ex wife. I have never seen anyone buy so much stuff in a single shopping outing! It was ridiculous... there must have been at least 50 shopping bags & I had to carry them!
No surprise her alimony demands include a $ 20 000 a month stipend for clothes & shoes! She was the high maintenance hollywood wife, while Lionel Richie was the perfect gentleman! Signing autographs for crazed fans who lay staked out in the parking garage of the convention center, thrusting their pens & whatever they wanted signed through the window of the Navigator.

I also fell in love with Sarah McLachlan .... all it took was a smile & a handshake. What an absolutley stunning lady, & one of the nicest people I've had in my car.

Then there are the renowned scumbags. Heading up that list has got to be Mr Creepy VP He was a VP of a big name cable company & spent the better part of the night trying to convince an employee to have sex with him in exchange for a $ 75K job. It was an actual negotiation! Needless to say, I got a fat tip to encourage me to keep my mouth shut.
The lady told him she'd consider it if she had a job offer in writing on her desk in the morning. When he realized he wasn't getting anyway, he starts trying to convince her to " do " the limo driver, I'm like, Dude! Keep me the hell out whatever the hell you are trying to do! His bill was about $ 990.00 for the night! Yup- thats where the money from your $ 100 cable bill goes. I saw him the next year at the same convention, I was not his driver, our paths crossed & I could not get the big fat grin off of my face. He avoided me for the rest of the evening.

Come to think of it I've gotten quite a few generous tips over the years --to keep my mouth shut about what I heard or saw.

Its weird, the things people will talk about or do in the presence of their chauffeur & I have only once been asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Well. Thats your introduction. Come back every couple days & will try to make this interesting reading.
