Back in 1996, in Toronto, I sat right next to Antonio Bandares. I was reading a magazine and hadn't noticed he was sitting next to me the whole time. Until the gym managers came out and said "Mr. Banderes, you can come with us now." I died! I could have had a nice chat with him...SIGH0

Neil Young, SF Airport, lost luggage line. he turned and complained to me that the airline had lost his luggage.
Daryl Hanna and Jackson Brown, at the grocery store whey I worked, they bought skim milk.
Jimmy Carter, at a book convention, he asked me if I had voted for him (no I was 10 at the time)
Bo Derek, again the grocery store, came though my line, but I did not recognize her because I thought she was tall (she is only 5'3" ish)0 -

Too many to mention, but some that come to mind:
Robert Plant, Rainbow Bar & Grill in Hollywood
King Diamond, in some club, and he was scary. I was backstage, and he just sat down in a chair and stared at me for a while. It was weird. Just me and him in a room. I just stared back. No words. LOL.
Met and partied with all the guys from Exodus.
I played with Guns and Roses back in my Hey Day. Good times! At the Troubador in LA.
Played, partied, and jammed with Kings X.
New all the guys from a rock band called Keel from the 80's.
Saw Cameron Diaz and her boyfriend at the time, uh, the big star dude, forget his name, at the pumpkin patch in Long Beach, CA.
A few of my bands mates are kind of well-known in deep underground music circles. LOL. But, pretty obscure, but they make their living from music.
Met Kareem Abdul Jabaar twice, once on a flight to Jamaica, and another time at the 555 Restaurant in Long Beach, CA
Ran into Billy Joe from Green Day at the Sacramento Airport.
Had dinner and a long conversation in LA with one of the winners of Top Chef. Forget her name now. But, she just won, and was hanging out in her new restaurant and sat down and chatted for about an hour. Super nice. Not really a star, but sort of.
Met Kelsey Grammer at a Shakespear show in LA. Nice guy.
I know there's others, I just can't think about it all.0 -

Not mine. She was high as a kite, and kept asking me to turn up the nitrous. But, she was in the chair for a long time and at least 3 of her songs came on during her appointment.

You have a nice list there. I have quite a few too. Being that I work in Pro Audio... Talk to many managers of the bands. Then sometimes I meet them before-during-after the shows. I was hoping to meet and greet Billy Idol last year. Didn't happen. :sad:0 -

Nearly the entire cast of Supernatural, at various Supernatural conventions. They're all really nice.
Denzel Washington - 2002, at the Arclight theater on Sunset in Hollywood. He got on the elevator with us up from the parking garage and talked to us about which films we were there to see.
Brendan Fraser - at the premiere for the Mummy Returns. 2001. Spoke to him briefly and shook his hand. I was also an extra in Bedazzled.
Mickey Dolenz - 1970. I was 5. lol.
My mom was dating a record industry guy and we went with him to meet Mickey at the airport when he was in Dallas promoting some solo album.
Bruce Campbell - he was at Barnes and Noble signing one of his books here about 3 years ago. Had a brief chat with him. His brother and i worked for the same company even though I never met him.
Judson Scott - xfiles, the phoenix - the Mummy returns premiere 2001. He was walking around in the crowd and we did a shout out to him. He went and refreshed his drink, and sat and chatted with me and my friends for about an hour. Very cool guy.
Oded Fehr - the mummy, resident evil - the Mummy Returns premiere 2001.
Dee Wallace - Texas Frightmare weekend, 2008. Paid to get her autograph and she took a picture with me.
Malcolm McDowell - Texas Frightmare weekend, 2008. Said hi to him while he was walking around after doing an autograph session.
Julie Newmar - This was a KZEW convention in Dallas around 1983. No idea why she was there, but she was really cool and still very pretty.
Gil Birmingham - twilight - Texas Indian market Arlington 2009. Got his autograph and a photo. I threw him a little bit because I wanted to know about the Buffy episode he did. "Inca Mummy Girl" instead of the Twilight stuff.
Steven Tyler - he was staying at Hotel Zaza in Dallas. 2009? I'm not sure why he was in town, but I was there visiting a friend of mine who worked in the hotel. He was walking all over the place that night. There was a wedding reception there the night I was there, and he found out the bride was a fan of his and he went out and took photos with the whole wedding party. Very cool. And much shorter than you'd think he is.
Duff and Slash from guns and roses - This was in 1988. They opened for INXS in Dallas and afterwards a few band members were hanging out at On the Rocks in Deep Ellum. Slash was very cool and my boyfriend bought him a drink. Duff was a totally wasted jerk who looked down my dress.
All the members of the band Hurricane. Late 80's sometime. They played at On the Rocks in Deep Ellum, and afterwards they stayed around and signed autographs for anyone who wanted one.
Pantera - they played all the metal clubs in Dallas and I met them all more than once. I was there one night when they shot one of their videos at The Basement.
Randy Jackson, lead singer for Zebra. Got his autograph after a show at Dallas City Limits - late 80's.
Ian 'Speedo' Wilson lead guitarist for Sweet Savage in the late 80's. Bought him a beer at The Basement. He liked Fosters. lol
I actually met so many 80's "hair band" musicians I probably can't remember them all.
Victor Garber at Elixir on Melrose. Which I think is closed now.
some 70's TV people.. More of them than I can remember. Usually at the comic book type conventions.
The two lead guys from Adam12. Very cool.
Richard Hatch from Battlestar Galactica - nice guy.
Erik Estrada - didn't chat with him long so I don't really have much of an impression.
Jonathan Frakes - nice and really tall.
I saw Jill Clayburgh at an art gallery in Glendale CA in 2002.
And I emailed back and forth with author Diana Gabaldon for about a year and she signed all the copies of the books I got from her.0 -
Nicki Minaj in Las Vegas (she was gambling and I got to watch her...along with her massive bodyguard)..and Justin Timberlake, Lenny Kravitz, Muhammed Ali, Terrence Howard, Gwen Stefani0
