in Chit-Chat
In the late 80's I was traveling around as a Dead Head. (I always thot I looked like a mix of Jerry Garcia & Tommy Chong) In San Francisco their stage collapsed breaking my left leg. So here I was in downtown San fran and a black BMW pulls up and Carley Simon climbs out!
She asked me about my leg and I told her about it, and right there in the middle of the afternoon she sang Anticipation to me and my leg! Carley you will always have a special place in my heart!

So you have any stories to share?

    In my previous life, I was a journalist and got to interview a bunch of athletes. Probably the the coolest one though - and one I will always remember since I was just a rookie at the time and he was so nice - was former University of Texas coach Darrell Royal. Very, very nice and genuine and respectful. I became a big fan of his that day.

    Used to work in film & tv, so I've met tons of actors, and some singers and the like. My favorites would have to be Angela Lansbury & Peter O'Toole.

    My fiance saved Neil Gaiman from a drunk on NYE. This dude was like hanging on him and being obnoxious and my fiance got between them so Neil could breathe. Also met Amanda Palmer.

    I waited on Jake Gyllenhaal when I was a server at Applebee's. He was in my small town filming Jarhead at the time- very nice guy... and I was a nervous wreck. LOL!

    I've met:

    Rick James - He was a douche.
    Richard Simmons - Nice guy and apparently really does dress like that
    Stevie Ray Vaughn and Joe Cocker - They were pretty cool, drank a Grand Marnier with them.

    I used to work at a Hotel with a restaurant and bar.

    ETA - Had a brief discussion with a very drunk Tara Reid who was pissed at her boyfriend at the time.

    Do politicians count? I shook hands with the president, a few senators, and I've seen the Emperor of Japan. All when I was in the Air Force. Oh, and I've ran into the cast of Hawaii 5-0 a few times while they filmed on base.

    I've met my celebrities at the local science fiction convention: Peter Mayhew is probably the most famous. I would've loved to have a picture taken with him, but I didn't want to be an asshat and ask the poor guy to stand up (he uses a cane). I met Dominic Keating at Sci Fi o the Rock this year (see avatar).

    Sarah McLaughlin used to shop at the grocery store I worked at all through University. She was always very sweet, a little bit awkward, and a lot shorter than I would have guessed.

    Bob Saget was filming at my high school once and he was kind of ridiculous. he had someone drive him across the gravel feild in a truck and was waving to everyone out the window. Nobody cared because in high school everyone is trying way too hard to be cool and aren't goignto get excited over the Full House guy.

    I was in Montreal going through the Airport when I hit my luggage cart against the guy in front of me. I ran up to him and said OMG, I am so sorry and he says to me..That is ok. Than I realized it was OJ Simpson and Al Cowlings just after he was acquitted.

    I've partied with U2 at their afterparty and REM showed up. Bono was super cool; the Edge was boring and went to bed early.

    Former Southern Indiana resident here-- getting a laugh out of this one. :) Love that the stadium still has all the signage and stuff.

    As for me, I don't think the host of The Amazing Race counts, even though he was incredibly nice.
