I met Willie Nelson when i was four, while he was jogging in downtown Ft. Worth. He leaned into our Chevy and talked to my mom, grandmother and sister.
Also met Tony Hawk back in 1987 at a hotel in Austin, TX while he was eating breakfast. Still have his autograph on a hotel napkin.
Been fortunate to meet some of my favorite musicians like Rob Dickinson from The Catherine Wheel, Jeremy Enigk of Sunny Day, andDoug Martsch of Built to Spill.

lewis black -
saw him in baltimore. i was piss drunk. kept heckling the song and dance guy they had on as an opening act. lewis got on stage and told the audience (he was looking directly at me. small venue.) that if we didn't shut the fuck up he wouldn't be able to get from one thought to the next. apparently i didn't say a thing after that.
met him in the lobby after the show and i apologized to the opening act guy. explained that i was drunk. he laughed. he said he wished he was still that young. friend and i ended up hitting a bar with lewis black afterwards. he was surprisingly very chill and very humble.
i ran into a few friends at the bar and kept bringing them one at a time over to meet him. my one friend who was my DD was horribly sober and horribly embarrassed, and asked lewis if i was bothering him by bringing all these people over to meet him. he responded that he knew that i was just drunk and having a good time and that he'd be a real asshole if didn't want to be bothered to meet fans.
pretty fucking cool

I went to an APC concert with my sister and she managed to get us backstage. I met Maynard and got his autograph. It was kinda wierd, my sister being there and all.
I also met most of 311 several times now, super cool super laid back dudes. Only one i haven't met and never seems to hang out is Chad.
And recently i met most of Zappa Plays Zappa. I have such huge respect for them as musicians and Franks music it was a real treat to get to talk with Dweezil and Ray White (if only briefly).
- i know it's not considered very cool, but i always dug 311. and maynard... jesus. that is just fucking awesome7point34
- Yeah i didn't really know how to handle myself around Maynard.. i'm a Tool junkie so i was probably drooling. He didn't really seem to be into the drooling fanboy thing though.d_rek
- really into the drooling fanboy thing. But he was pretty reserved about it.d_rek
- i bet Maynard gets some of the most f'd up interactions with fans. From worship to bullshit i'm surelocustsloth
- I can't imagine... would love to meet MJK.gramme

I went to high school with a bunch of kids who are now mini celebs.

I waitressed at a golf course while i was in high school and we had a celebrity golf tournament - I met Archie Griffen, Eddie George, Frank OHarris, Chris Carter, Mike Vrabel (mostly Ohio State alumni)... but my favorite of the tournament was Mister Charles Barkley himself. He showed up super late and druuuuuuunk off his butt. He kept ordering martinis from me. I wasn't allowed to ask for autographs as a waitress, but I had gotten passes to the tournament for my youngest sister and dad. They went up to talk to Chuck and my sister, I think she was 10 or so at the time, asked for his autograph. He put his arm around her and said "You know? I have a daughter your age at home. And I think what I'm going to do is when she brings her first boy home - I'll shoot him, then word will get around, and it won't be a problem anymore." She awkwardly smiled and look at my dad, it was hilarous!
Future Gov. of Alabama everyone, mister Barkley!

passed natalie portman on the street in harvard once. literally walked right next to her. did a double take. my friends who apparently had no idea that she went to harvard did not see her and didn't believe it could possibly be her.
later ended up at some dude's apt who had met her a few times and asked where we were when we saw her. i mentioned that i thought we had passed a big bookstore, and he said of yeah she hangs out there all the time.
i wanted to punch my friends

I'm in the Upper East Side at some dumpie dollar store. I walk out after buying clorox or something. Some immigrant type dude was like "Pomegranate". I was like what in the f*ck are you talking about, "You're from Grenada, great dude, ok". I look across the street and I see Paul McCartney, in town to play that famous 9/11 show in NYC. I talked to him for about a minute. Just asked him how he was and what he was doing in NYC. Nothing special, but the guy that pointed him out was crazy.
