    I saw John Leguizamo doing an interview in the lobby during a Latino film festival at a theater I used to work at in San Diego.

    It was every bit as thrilling as it sounds.

    Alice Cooper - his bus broke down just outside of the town I grew up in. I was 16, I went to the gas station at lunch to get a drink and some chips and got in line behind his roadies, and they were taking FOREVER. I was quietly standing there being polite and he came in and was like "Let the kid get in front of you guys" I turned around and went "OMG... you... you are Alice Cooper!!" and then he said "yes I am and you are" and I told him my name and he gave me a signed photo... it was pretty nifty.

    Storm Large - she is an absolute sweet heart.

    Danny Lohner – He was really awesome and at the time I had no idea who he was until he said "Oh **** I need to go get on stage"... I was like 17 and at an outdoor concert.

    mcchris - if you don't know who his song "Hoodie Ninja" was on a car commercial. He is MC Pee Pants on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Hesh Hepplewhite on Sealab 2021. he worked on The Brak Show, and was a writer for Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. He is really an amazing person who donates a lot of money to Cystic Fibrosis.

    Bob McGrath from Sesame street - he comes in yearly to do a televised marathon up here for charity. I got a hug and got to tell him that he was my most favorite human on Sesame street.

    Beverley Mahood - she comes in for the same televised marathon for charity, I personally didn't really like her.

    Brad Johner - met him at the same televised marathon for charity as Beverley Mahood and Bob McGrath - he is a pretty decent guy.

    Rafi - I was a little kid so I really do not remember him, but I still have the autographed record.

    And some of the CFL players - not really a big deal unless you are from Canada I guess lol


    ETA: Oh and Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed... Shannon Tweed is actually really good friends with a friend of mines mom... he calls them Aunt Shannon and Uncle Gene... I only got to meet them because I didn't believe him lol

    I sat next to Tim Allen while eating lunch at Daphne's Greek Cafe in North Hollywood. My friend was like "man, that guy looks a lot like Tim Allen." I shrugged and said, "yeah sort of."

    At the end of our meal, a boy several tables away wandered over to tell Tim Allen he was a huge fan and blablabla. Me and my friend looked at each other like "Oh....cool."

    The president or the PM? If the president, his name is Robert Mugabe. Assuming this, did you not have a clear shot?

    The PM is Morgan Tsvangarai. A more impressive human being, to be sure.

    Sir Geoff Hurst (1966 England world cup winner), he presented our medal at a work football tournament.
    Edgar Davids outside the Nou Camp in Barcelona.

    I think that's it! I have walked past Jarvis Cocker at a festival and almost bumped into Evan Dando outside a Lemonheads gig but I didn't speak to them.
