    I met Cypress Hill at a concert in my highschool days. Loved B-Real! Still do. Also, I met and took a pic with Too Short (the rapper) and my hater friend at the time purposefully lost that camera! Biotch! "Life is too short you gotta get in where you fit in..." LOL
    I have a pic with a "Hercules" look alike (unless it's really him). Remember that show? @ Universal Studios. I have Pics with Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Poo, Eyeore, Piglet, Tigger, Mike Wazowski, Sulley, Captain Hook, Cinderella's evil step sisters and step mom... LOL, Yes, I consider them celebrities!!!!
    I'm jealous of my cousin. He met Keanu Reeves.

    Ive met

    Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) twice! hehe

    A little jealous here. I find Pete Wentz ridiculously attractive.

    I've met quite a few band members--
    Justin Pierre (singer of Motion City Soundtrack, met a few other band members too)
    Tom Higgenson (singer of Plain White T's, met a few other band members too)
    The whole band of All Time Low (at a meet and greet that I got to go to because my friends were members of their fan club)

    A bunch of my friends got to meet Sean Astin, but I wasn't with them at the time. SAD.

    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.

    HOLY CR@P I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, so jealous, I wouldn't have been able to talk, I would have drooled all over him. He's the bestest!! <3<3<3

    HA! I was so excited about yours, I forgot about mine. I met Laurie Cabot (Salem, MA's official witch, and one of my idols), I got my pic taken with her and chatted for a few minutes at her store. Well she chatted, I tried not to cry. LOL And when I lived in South Florida I "dated" (lmao, I had a fun time back when I was younger, wink wink) a few NFL players, and to be honest, I don't remember their names since I didn't care about football, it was a long time ago, and they ended up being big-headed jerks. I'm not good meeting celebs, I had a chance to meet Reba McEntire and chickened out because I was afraid I would make an *kitten* out of myself. lol

    I've actually met a couple celeb's. When I was working for a car rental agency, Jack Nicholson was doing a movie in the airport I was working at. During breaks, he would come by and "chat". Kinda cool! When I married my first husband, we were at our reception, and a bottle of champagne came to our table... I asked the waiter who it came from, it ended up being Mike Love, the lead singer of the Beach Boys!.

    hrm. i've been to hundreds+++ of shows and i used to tour with some cal punk bands, so i've met a lot - probably no one anyone knows anymore.

    here are some that were more 'famous' and a little more than just seeing them and saying hi.

    ~ kurt cobain - i drank a pitcher of beer with him before a show in tempe

    ~ mark arm (mudhoney) & the boys - more pre-show bar drinking conversations in a back booth in phoenix

    ~ greenday - i was (and still am) very good friends with his then girlfriend (think 1039 smoth out / kerplunk times) and when they'd play my town, they'd stay at my house. i've cooked these guys breakfast, jumped off my roof naked into the pool holding a bottle of JD, trecool took me to the hostpital when i broke my finger, etc, etc... i ~loathe~ the band though.

    ~ jane's addiction, specifically dave navarro - hung out after a show and he was paying way too much attention to me, but he promptly walked away when i told him i wasn't a groupie.

    ~ all the guys from the supersuckers - i've just been around them so much that we chat now at their shows (started when i stayed at the same teeny hotel as them after a show and we all partied together before they disappeared into their own rooms with their groupie d'jours.

    ~ Sepultura - heh. On my 21st bday, my then bf took me to their house after dinner. We all hung out and rank 7-up and played ping pong. They are SO NOT hardcore.


    edited to add ~ Death Cab For Cutie and zooey deschanel - same ex-greenday gf married dcfc's manager and through them, i hung out with them a few times.


    The rest have all just been quick meet/greets - nothing more than that.
