Our favorite story about Bill Murray is sadly unverified, but not totally implausible (even Bill admits to it being possible). Basically, some guy gets tackled on a Chicago lawn by a guy who puts their hand over the dude's eyes. After a the guy gets free, he turns around to face his attacker, and it's Bill Murray! "No one will ever believe you," whispers Bill, before running off into the distance.
Perhaps the first report of Bill crashing a college party happened in 2006, when the actor appeared in Scotland to hang out with some Scandanavian students. He raged all night, and then stayed to help them with the dishes.
In 2008, Halloween got way better for some loft-dwelling hipsters when Bill showed up and started grooving on the dance floor.
"It wasn't like he was John Travolta or something," said one observer afterwards, "but it wasn't embarrassing."
Yesterday, TheChive.com posted a story about Bill Murray at the One7 karaoke bar in LES:
"About 15 minutes later we get a knock on the door... IT'S BILL F@#KING MURRAY! We were all shocked of course but at that point we were already pretty trashed so the party just kept going. He was super nice and they all fit right in. His girl was really cute, and as far as i remember, from Amsterdam. She sang a bunch of random French songs!
At some point he bought us all a round of some weird green drink and wouldn't tell us what it was. I later found out it was Chartreuse some French liqueur made by monks. Apparently you are supposed to sip it ... like an idiot I just shot it down.
The high point was when Bill and I sang a duet of an Elvis song called, "Marie's the Name." Random I know, but so was the night. We were all drinking and dancing and screaming our asses off.
We tried not to make him feel uncomfortable though of course later we all joked about picking the Ghostbusters theme. Amazingly, they stuck around the entire night, about 4 hours. As you can imagine it was all pretty surreal. Something I will never ever forget…Viva Bill Murray!"

Last year, South By Southwest attendees got a huge surprise when Bill Murray showed up to the Shangria-La bar and got behind the counter to pour shots with the Wu-Tang clan.
