Oh and speaking of politicals. I have met Wendy Davis... well in passing... I was trying to take a few minutes out of work to vote while I was at the polling place (which was at a satellite office of where I work).... and before she was famous.0

41 (total not "ugh"). I was fishing the pond behind his presidential library. He was taking a lap before a talk there (which I got to attend) on "fishing and the presidency".
He talked to me like he knew me and we just discussed the fishing in his pond for a bit (in the gazillion times I fish the pond while at Texas A&M I never was there while he was fishing, but I heard he would fish sometimes when he was in from Houston).0 -
i created a marriage certificate for marina sirtis and johnathan frakes, and had michael dorn and gates mcfadden sign as witnesses. i also got to talk to denise crosby for a bit.
i have a really cute selfie with james marsters *drool*.0 -
I didn't see/meet her, but once when my parents and I were staying in a condo in Branson the housekeeping staff told us the last guest prior was Phyllis Diller, and she left behind several tips for them hidden beneath gag items like fake vomit & a fake spilled can of Coke :-)0

Donald Trump, in our hotel in downtown NOLA, just the year before Katrina. My husband & I were the only ones in the rooftop open air pool & hot tub that night and we had our camera set up for photos of the downtown nighttime lights of the city. He came up with his assistant and was all huffy about the camera (didn't say who he was), but we told him we were visiting from Canada and taking pictures of the lovely city from the rooftop (and pretended we didn't know who he was). Just chatted a bit about the city, he told us where we should point our camera for the best shot from that vantage point (his opinion anyhow.) I think he had the penthouse suite that night or maybe even owned the hotel, who knows. He's as much of an idiot as you think.0

Lou Ferrigno and John Elway. I also hang out with the lead singer of Dr. Neptune on the regular. :laugh:0

Johnny Depp, Channing Tatum, Adam Levine.... waiting for the results of the paternity test.... none of them will return my calls.
Seriously, I haven't really met anyone famous, I've seen a few in concerts, I went to school with Hank Baskett and him and Kendra have been here for football games and random stuff a couple of times, but that's about it.0 -
I saw Meryl Streep this spring in Lowell. She is gracious and modest, a real classy lady. The guy who interviewed her kind of came off as a jerk compared to her. I just saw Robert Redford, also in Lowell, at a fundraising event. I had complained about how old he looks, but he is 78, and now I think he looks pretty damn good. He is a small guy, kind of slight, extremely articulate and intelligent. I was extremely impressed. Seeing him was a wake-up call for me because when I went to the venue, I felt like I was surrounded by old people, especially older women. Then, I realized that I was one of them! All those films that we admired him for are over 40 years old! Anyway, I saw two of my idols in person less than 6 months apart, so I can die happy!0

I forgot: Tony Alva, like 15 years ago at the opening of the skatepark in Westminster, CO. he invited me and my girlfriend to his room. (we didn't go.)

Oh! I forgot my favorite story. I didn't actually meet him, but Justin Timberlake flew in to the little tiny airport where my dad and I fly. He was walking through the building and the lady who mans the radio whispers to my dad "That's Justin Timberlake." And my dad, who has no inside voice says "Who's Justin Timberlake?" JT turned around and looked at him. I almost peed my pants laughing.0

I met Beyonce Knowles back when she was part of Destiny's Child. She was sweet, her friends, snobby.

Dan O Brien (triathlete and of Dan and Dave Nike commercials)- I interviewed him for school newspaper in 8th grade.0 -
Christopher Walken, while I was sitting at a 7-11 filling up my car. He pulled in behind me, winked, and started to fill his car up. Of course I was an idiot and asked him what his favorite movie line was. He did this little prance thing and said, "Forget about it." and I almost died. He was wearing pajama pants and I may have fallen in love with him in that minute. He drove away and I hated myself for a week for not asking for a picture or something.0

A.J. Green - (lakers bball) shook his hand as well, might have been bigger than he big hurt's hand

Nick Faldo - saw him at about 6am in the Austin Airport restroom, I was fan boy and he looked hungover :P
Nolan Ryan - bumped into him (chest to chest) before the Rangers played the Express, all I said was "Nolan Ryan"... as if he doesn't already know his own name - he said "good to see ya buddy" and patted me on the shoulder

Blake Lively, Leighton meester, and Chace Crawford from Gossip girl. -I was on my way home from work walking to the train and they were filming a scene.
Uma Thurman-shopping at Balducci's in NYC. She's very very tall and slim IRL..even more so than she appears on screen.
