    I dated the drummer from Dinosaur Jr (he's no longer their drummer). They were on David Letterman one night and my dad said "Well, he looks the least likely of the group to be on drugs." Well, not really, but OK.

    There is a minor league hockey team in my hometown so I have met several (now) NHL players...I used to work at the arena in the private suites and served pizza to Pamela Anderson when she was married to tommy lee and motley Crüe was in town. I also almost hit Bryan Adams with a popcorn cart when I was 15. When I was very young (7 I think), I gave a bouquet of flowers to queen Elizabeth when she was touring the country for some sort of celebration (maybe the countries centennial or commonwealth games I don't remember)

    I met Steve from Blue's Clues. :smile:

    OMG! I'm such a dork, but I would love to meet Steve! LOL!

    I had an uncle that was good friends with Mel Gibson (and his parents) back when he was still married to first wife and hadn't gone bat-*kitten* crazy. Anyway, he made an appearance at my uncle's church for Mass and I got to meet him and one of his older daughters. Who by the way was kind of a *****, but I think she was just being guarded. I assume that's something you have to do when you're the offspring of someone that famous.

    I grew up in a really small town in TX so not really a lot of chances to meet famous people.

    I met NKOTB, though I pretty much only talked to Donnie since I have loved him since I was 10 lol. I also met Jared Padalecki (Gilmore Girls/Supernatural) and a bunch of supporting actors from Supernatural - Richard Speight Jr and Chad Lindberg (Jesse in Fast and the Furious) were my favorite of those.

    I'm just curious...a lot of people from California. I'm from the Midwest...pretty boring out here. Ive met a couple people. Bobby Lashley..the wrestler and Ive cut the hair of a couple professional athletes, but no movie stars....lol
    Living where there is a major world famous Shakespearean festival I see famous people on the street and in the stores all the time. Paul Gross winked at me in the grocery store one day. Have seen Christopher Plummer, Janet Wright, William Hut, William Shatner, Al Waxman to name a few. Very common here.

    I was a little girl (7 or 8?)with my parents at the airport in Indianapolis when I met Kareem Abdul Jabar. I got to compare hand size with him...LOL...I remember my head fit IN his hand. I was really, really impressed that he could look straight on at the highest shelves in the gift shop. (Famous Basketball Player, btw)

    Although I grew up on a farm, the closest town for shopping was Shelbyville, IN. That's where Sandy Allen, the tallest woman in the world, lived. I went to church with her once. And, once again, hand sizes were compared...wowza! BIG difference. I was about 11 or so at the time. I think she lives in Canada now, and works at Ripley's Believe it or not museum.

    Selena Fox, founder of Circle Sanctuary, officiated my hand-fasting with my partner. That's really big in Pagan circles.

    My girlfriend and I swam in the same pool with football great Joe Namath. LOL...actually, we were swimming when he came down, and his bodyguard told us to stay at our end and not to bother 'Broadway Joe'. This happened in Las Vegas.

    I have met many famous (or infamous, as the case may be) authors, etc.

    I met Sally Ride, the first woman in space when I belonged to NOW (National Orginazation of Women). I got her autograph on a table napkin 'for my daughter'. I still have it, framed...LOL

    My partner played Bass (on a one time emergency basis) for Reba McIntyre at a concert in Oklahoma City.
