Kenficious say , there is a big difference between a known musician who walks into a bar VS a KNOWN MUSICIAN that gets carried into a bar with his or her entourage  ...
The first type walks in , wants to sit in , play your guitar on stage and tries to leave the club with your girlfriend .
The second type gets carried in hidden by the shoulders of the entourage .  Now there's a Wave of new Energy and disbelief on the part of the locals .
It starts Raining Money , the place goes crazy , folks don't care who's on stage any more .Then you get a sinking feeling in your gut that its all over when you look up from your pedal boards guitar tuner and you see all the chicks just left the club to go party with the NAME Musicians ....
It's a good thing that you have 2 set lists because now it's time to use your set list # 2 ...
The set list you use when ever you play a Sausage Factory
 
all the best ,

Speaking of brushes with Canucker "Celebrity" this guy...
 
I'm An Adult Now
 
popped into an after hours independent musicians* open mic I tried to get going when I was like 19yo. He was nice but very quiet. Him and his buddy kind of kept to themselves and once I/we realized the event was just kind of turning out weird (nice, kind of cool but defs weird) we let them go hang out on the upstairs patio on their own.
 
*by that I mean me and a bunch of other crazy street musicians I knew... who brought some of their even CRAZIER street musician friends. Really it was a mix of really interesting, oddball neo folk stuff and pure mental illness smeared with a fine veneer of music type noises

Also... Dan Akroyd is a surprisingly large fellow. I guess next to ole Chevy and/or John Candy (RIP Uncle Buck!) it's not as noticeable but yeah... he be a biggun.

Then there's these guys...
 
Sloan - Good In Everyone (song starts at around 2:11)
 
Way ahead of their time as far as the full on Indie/Hipster movement IMO (as evidenced by that intro... lol). Of course it's kind of bubble gummy sounding but I always kind of liked them even in the throes of my teenage metal angst.
 
Anyhoo (and, Sluggo... this happened at the C&D) one of the Sloan doods (pretty sure it was the singer guy) joined forces with my local pub's kind of house band spazzos (who were/are also really friggen' good/talented/theatrical fellos) and put on a Halloween gig. He was mostly on drums and friggen' KILLED it! The whole band just blazed out on all sorts of weird nostalgia rock with kiss makeup (and a couple covers), gorrilla masks, lights/smoke (in a tiny little pub with a TINY little "stage" if you could even call it that).
 
Great time and of course everyone wanted me to meet the guy which I think might have been kind of awkward for both of us but he was pretty cool and you could tell he just LOVED playing music.
 
 

Holy crap. I haven't heard this tune in ages and certainly not since I've twisted my ears around mix type stuff...
 
Check out this mix...
 
Underwhelmed - Sloan
 
Is it just me or is that a really, REALLY good friggen' mix?
 
Also, Baps I think you might dig these dudes. Lots of interesting but subtle bass work and lots of old school honey dripping vocal harmonies.

Since I'm apparently talking to/spinning for myself today might as well post my specific favorite performance of this specific song...
 
 
Hangover - Max Webster
 

Then of course there is good ole Neil, AKA: The Grandpappy of Canadian Hipster Edgelordianism
 
Piece of Crap
 
Lurvs that toon.
 
lulz

Beeps talks to Beeps
 

Are you implying I eat my own butt?
 
I mean... that may be factual but it's a little rude to point out in mixed company.

Hangover - Max Webster

OMG, I haven't thought of Max Webster in YEARS. I saw them a couple of times when they toured with Rush, and then they just faded from my mind. What a wake-up! While looking up their discography to see what was released after, I found the following (available from Amazon on 6 October for $83.02 (CDs; the vinyl set is $237.99 ); Day 1 for me):
