    My most favorite celebrity meeting would have to be Weird Al Yankovic. He was doing a book tour for his children's book and stopped at my college campus!

    I also met Bob McGrath (he was/is(?) on sesame street) as a child. I was dressed as a duck at the time. He was very nice, and I gave him a picture I drew of him and a few sesame street characters.

    Other than that... I think that's it. I've seen many concerts, and I was 6 feet away from the New Kids on the Block... ;D

    I lived in Chicago in the 1980's so I went to a number of book signings to buy famous people's books. I met briefly and had books signed from: Betty White; Maurice Sendak; Charles Kuralt; Garrison Keillor; Ray Suarez; and Mary Lu Retton.

    My former boss met one of his racketball club members while I was working so I did personally meet Robert Conrad, the former star of the TV show, the "Wild, Wild West" back in the mid 1980's.

    I saw Bob Newhart on his own walking through O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.

    On State Street, I saw Captain Kangeroo walking on his own in downtown Chicago....with baby boomers stopping or following in awe!

    Zac Brown used to eat at the hubs old restaurant and still eats at the one he's at now, so I've met him. I met Jello Biafra in Denver in 1994. When Green Day was still playing $5 shows at VFW halls, they would stay and party with us at a friend's apartment. The guys from Screeching Weasel were usually there, too. The Drop Dead Diva cast work out in the gym I work at. Jackson Hurst is hotter in person. Shia Lebouf requested my smoothies when he was filming down here. I grew up in Cheap Trick's hometown and everyone there has a Cheap Trick story. The hubs' band played with Gwar at the Scrap Bar a billion years ago. I guess it's all kind of cool, but they're just people.

    Lots of pro wrestlers around here, too. Chris Benoit came in to my gym all the time as did his wife. He was very soft spoken. When he found out my dad was a big fan and home bound, he brought in an autographed pic for him. It was such a shock when I heard the news about him and his family. Very sad.

    Lead singer of the Offspring. He was super nice and very down to earth. The entire band Jackyl. They were a bit stick up, which I thought was amusing. I'm probably the only person here white trash enough to know who they were, though :P Kind of met a couple of the guys from NOFX, but they were EXTREMELY stuck up.
