    I used to date a popular DJ in the Bay Area, so when "Summer Jam" came around, I had back stage passes and got to greet, shake hands and take pictures with many artists. Some of my most notable ones were:

    Boyz II Men
    TLC (when Lisa Lopes was still alive)
    Queen Latifah
    MC Hammer
    Digital Underground
    Tupac
    Sir Mix A lot

    And a really great pic with Nia Peeples whom I had a major crush on.

    Fred ****ing Durst (NOT intentionally, lol) in Las Vegas. I am jealous of literally everyone else in this thread when in comes to celebrity viewing. Does Michael Franti count? Oh, and I did shake Obama's hand at an event on his campaign trail. That's all I've got.

    Okay, this totally ages me, but I passed a hand written note to Hubert Humphrey when he was running for president in 1967. It was a big deal for me because I had just turned 21 and this was the first time I could vote, and I had worked on his presidential campaign. After all these years I still think he would have made a better president than Richard Nixon! :)
