    I've shook hands with Brett Favre (while he was still in college), Coach Mike Ditka (after his arena football team won Arena Bowl 10), and Ray Guy (he stopped by my tailgate and I also fixed him a beer). I also went to church with Bill and Hillary Clinton (while he was President).

    Last year when he was launching another band as a side-project, he was phoning everybody that preordered the album.

    It was unbelievable. He started by thanking me for supporting his new project. We then talked about where I was from and what my job is. He talked about his family. It was more like having a conversation with an old friend rather than a celebrity. I've heard from other people that got a phone call and each conversation was different.

    He really is a true artist that appreciates his fans.

    I met the Sultan of Brunei in his palace. I was on a school trip (I lived there) and he took us around his home (he is now in a new palace)

    Also met and talked to most of the current drivers in Formula 1 (not Schumacher though).

    I was in Magic Castle Hotel in Hollywood once and got chatting to a guy by the pool who turned out to be English and he'd gone to the same University as me (York). Turned out he was an actor and he was in a TV series called Battlestar Galactica. I didnt watch TV, so didnt know him, but he was heading to the Emmy's that night and invited me to join him and the cast. I had a great night and met loads of stars - none of which I knew!!!! Apparently there were the cast from Buffy, Angel, Lost, Oceans 13 and loads more. I recognised the Ocean's 13 stars, Pink, Jean Claude Van Damme and Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) but no one else. Will just say that James Callis (the guy by the pool) was a really, really nice guy with a good heart. It was nice meeting him.

    Met a few other people, but those are the main times I think.

    Many years ago I spent a day with Tai Bavilonia, the Olympic figure skater from years ago. Most of you probably are too young to remember her. I hired her as a speaker for a fund raiser. Having sone numerous press conferences and newspaper pieces, I have been in a position to meet and/or talk to some local news and sports figurss.

    I met Hodgins (TJ Tyne) from Bones.

    I was at my old job one day, minding my own business, animating some characters for tv. When I hear my boss' voice and someone else. I turn my head and there he is, in his beautiful glory. I asked my boss, "WHY IS HERE? HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM. ZOMG."

    Turns out he's my boss' brother!!! I flipped out. I am a huge fan of Hodgins from Bones. My boss was like, "Want me to introduce you?" And I'm like, "Yeah!" So he did and he's more beautiful in real life. I can't remember what I said, but I remember I stammered A LOT. And he just stood there really patiently and kindly. I was so embarrassed but it was hands down the second best thing that happened at that job.
