    Just one, and they're only famous among people my age. Gabe Saporta, who I had a huge crush on! lol

    My friend and I went to a Fall Out Boy show because we liked the opening bands (yes, we paid for pit tickets just to watch the headliners, and then LEFT when FOB came on! :laugh:) anyway, one of the bands headlining was a band called Cobra Starship whose lead singer is Gabe Saporta. When FOB came on my friend and I left and went to sit on the stairs and just chat for a bit. The place was deserted because eevryone was of course inside watching the show. We ended up talking to this woman who was sitting around drinking some beer and we were just chatting, turned out she was the best friend of Cassadee Pope (who is on Blake's team on the Voice, if you watch it!) and then she ended up leaving because she wanted to go ask Cassadee if we could join her in the party box. Anyway, when she left, this guy that was really cute was walking up the stairs on the other side. We were just kind of checking him out and I guess he noticed because he flashed us a peace sign, raised his cup to us, drank, and kept walking. Then it occurred to me where I had seen him before, because I just watched him preform.

    Anyway, so we casually like, ran up the stairs after him (luckily he didn't notice that part) and he saw us and was like, hey guys! And we started chatting and he was SO sweet. HE was asking about US, how nice. We were really shy about it because we didn't want to be rude, but we asked for a picture. He was like, omg yes, you don't even have to ask! So we ended up taking a picture with him. It was really cool...plus he smelled good.

    P.S. I didn't end up meeting Cassadee because we went and talked to Gabe. She came out to find us and thought we left lol

    M.Shadows and Zacky Vengeance from A7x.

    Jonathan Maberry of the Joe Ledger series fame.

    And the news guys from our local radio station on accident while on vacation in the Bahamas. The show is very popular, and the whole cast/ crew was there doing the annual Spring Break thing they do. Ran into him in the Port Lucaya Marketplace.

    Oh yeah I almost forgot, if there are any wrestling fans, I went to school with Taylor Rotunda (aka Bo Dallas, nephew of Bo Rotundo, brother of Windham Rotunda aka Bray Wyatt, Husky Harris, or Axel Mulligan, son of Mike Rotunda aka IRS and grandson of Blackjack Mulligan.) I got into high school the year after Windham graduated, so never knew him. Taylor is the sweetest, most mild-mannered person you'll ever meet. Truly an incredibly nice person. His sister Mika is a friend of mine, she's the most inspirational person on the freaking planet. Went from my size to a fitness model/Zumba instructor. She is awesome.

    I had the chance to meet General Rick Hillier at a function. He was chatting with some of the staff while waiting for the ceremony to start, but I was too shy to approach him directly :blushing:

    I've met a few.

    I met Sarah McLaughlin at a baby clothing store I used to work at (she had just had her first daughter and was buying things for her). She is SUPER nice.

    Tracy Chapman comes into my current work all the time, at least once a month. I think she lives nearby. She is also SUPER nice.

    I've met two Giants players at work, Brian Wilson and Pablo Sandoval, I work in SF and am a Giants fan so that was pretty cool.

    The latest was Adam Savage, one of the guys on Myth Busters (the blond one). He came in buying school supplies for his son, he's super nice as well.

    Hi, I live in Vancouver and they do a lot of filming up here. I met Johnny Depp once, and Kevin Costner was behind me in the line at Starbucks Downtown. Didn't talk to him though. I think one of the reasons celebrities like it here is that not so many people bother them; they can go out and do ordinary things easily. I've seen others, but not as close, mainly when they were filming things.

    I met Wilt Chamberlain when I was young. He was kinda grumpy. I didn't know who he was and didn't care, but because I was the baby of the family, I was urged to approach him for an autograph.

    In my family we make a joke out if it and you get more 'points' the farther removed you were from meeting someone famous. I'm the winner so far - my colleague's daughter's best friend's father is Jim Belushi. HA.
