    Ron Jeremy. There is a picture of me with him in my profile. It was several years ago at Fantasy Fest. He was walking by and I asked if I could get a picture with him. He is a tiny, disgusting little dude.

    I met Dave Ramsey once. Oh, also I saw Glen Beck during the Tea Party at the Alamo... My family and I were having ice cream in the nearby Hagendass when he strode by, surrounded by a crowd of security or something? I dunno, it was an interesting day to be visiting.

    Oops. I just realized that I saw Kevin Bacon last night. He actually lives about 45 minutes away from me and I had tickets to go see him perform with his band "The Bacon Brothers."

    He is so, so SO f*cking hot it's incredible.

    Lots of Star Trek actors: Vaughn Armstrong (Forrest), Casey Biggs (Damar), Roxann Biggs-Dawson (Torres), Aron Eisenberg (Nog), Max Grodénchik (Rom), J.G. Hertzler (Martok), Chase Masterson (Leeta), Robert Duncan McNeill (Paris), Robert O'Reilly (Gowron), Ethan Phillips (Neelix), Robert Picardo (EMH), Andrew J. Robinson (Garak), Armin Shimerman (Quark), George Takei (Sulu), Nana Visitor (Kira), Garrett Wang (Kim), Grace Lee Whitney (Rand).

    Granted, most of these were for just a moment as I was handing them a picture, book, or script to autograph at a convention.

    Oh dumb me we just saw Bill Crosby a few months ago when he came a did a show in a nearby town. We won tickets. Saw him before the show then had great tickets for the show. He was sooo funny.

    Those from the 'burgh will know what I am talking about here. I was on the metro at the airport with my girlfriend and her husband. Crazy hour of the night and three other people get on. My girlfriends husband starts hitting me saying really loud "Is that who I think it is" I was half asleep looked to my right and looked basicly right into the hip of Jaromír Jágr (i was leaning on the post) I looked up he looked down and we both smiled. I looked at my friends husband and said Yes that's Jaromír Jágr. My friend hubby kept trying to me to get his autograph. I just said look don't you think he gets that everywhere. Lets just let him get where ever he is going. When the doors opened he held them and let us go first. I said thanks and he said no thank you. And I told him the game the couple nights before was great and the ref was blind he shouldn't of been in the box. He asked you watched it? I said I was there. He smiled and he and his party left and me and my friends left. My friends husband was mad at me for a month or more. :smile:

    Surprised that Bill was a prima donna. My sister and I met him, and he actually let everyone there up into his jet to take a look, and signed tons of autographs and shook hands. I got a completely different view than you did, apparently.

    My mom met Guy Fieri. We're from his hometown, so it's not really a surprise. I ate at his restaurant (Johnny Garlic's) once. The food was okay, it was overpriced, the seating was uncomfortable, and the wait times were too long. He seems like a cool guy and I love seeing him on TV when he features our hometown.

    I've met Disturbed -- the original lineup, before they fired their bassist. The bassist was actually the coolest one, real down to earth, he was just this cool guy who loved to play music and interact with the fans. The guitarist and drummer were these super cool rock stars and they knew it, but they were alright. The vocalist, what a little drama queen. Comes out whining about people on the Internet hurting his feelings. And he's like five feet tall, if that, with 6" platforms. Haven't met the new bassist, he joined up later.

    I met three members of Evans Blue, including the original vocalist, as well as the bassist and I forget who the other one was. The bassist was the coolest one by far. I don't know what it is with bassists, but two bands I've met and the bassist is my favorite person in the band. I guess because they're not as appreciated as the lead guitarist (unless their name is Geddy Lee (Rush), Les Claypool (Primus), Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue) or a few other famous bassists) so the fame doesn't go to their head as much?
