second mention today of sagopanack now I have to google it
Edit: cool I'm assuming you were part of a group making a minyan or something of the sort?
Have a friend there. But would not consider them famous. Unless you count ira rennert. I was at his palace for davening so I met him many times.

i think Ira rennert counts especially if some ppl counted lipa in this thread.

Also pretty cool that you were in the most expensive house in America... How nice is it?

Bumped into Bernie Sanders walking in Manhattan Tuesday.

Side note: his hair is much more white in real life, than it is on digital screens. #fact

If Benny Friedman counts I met him too, but he won't remember me, my friend on the other hand - he probably will not forget.

I got whooped and hollered at by an entire NBA team as they were getting into their bus in front of Madison Square Garden.

Unfortunately I was rushing to work at the time and wasn't able to stop. I don't even know which team it was.

He owns a private Boeing 767-33A/ER, registered in Aruba as P4-MES. It is known as "The Bandit" due to its cockpit paint detail. Originally the aircraft was ordered byHawaiian Airlines but the order was cancelled and Abramovich bought it from Boeing and refitted it to his own requirements. He also owns a Dassault Falcon 7X with registration LX-MES. It's called the 'Mini bandit'
