No me again but a close friend of mine has had a few.
Helped Mick Jagger sign papers to buy real estate in Midtown Manhattan
Got Frank Gorshin (the only real Riddler) to laugh like the Riddler outside a theater when he was doing his one man show on Broadway portraying George Burns.
Pissed next to Dizzy Gillespie in the Blue Note in Greenwich Village. He thanked him for a great show and Dizzy said, "Yeah I blew their doors off."
Had lunch next to Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead in a hotel. (I forget the circumstances but my friend was a huge Deadhead and did a lot of traveling). Phil introduces my friend to other people sitting nearby as the new member of the band for the current tour. Then he says quietly to my friend, "I just love fucking with them."

I danced with Natalia Imbruglia at a Drum & Bass party way back somewhere in Ghent. I remember the line up:
Doc Scott, Trace, Suv & Bassment. I guess it was in 1999 or 2000.

I helped Barry Manilow shop for pants once when I worked at Banana Republic in 2002. I thanked him for all the sweet songs my mom cried to after her divorce in the 80s.

My dad used to be a roadie for a Sheffield band (Shape of The Rain) and claims that Pink Floyd saw their light show and decided to go and make their own.
He also used to see Joe Cocker out and about at gigs. "Total pisshead" he said.

I helped Andy Roddick buy a speaker for his iPod back when I worked at an Apple store – he went with a Bose.
I was returning to work, with a burrito bowl from Chipotle, and caught an elevator with Sam Rockwell and his german shepherd and he said, "Chipotle, huh?" To which I replied, "Yup." and then got off at my floor.
I was at a party in a bar sponsored by Kangol and drunkenly started talking to the dude next to me while waiting for my free drinks, turns out he was the manager for DJ Quik and I said I was a fan. He told me Quik would love to hear that and pointed to the person at the end of the bar leaning against the wall. I stumble over and say, "Hey! I love... (cue drunken brainfart) that one song..." I proceed to start humming the tune to "Tonite" and say, "Yeah..." He told me he wished he were as drunk as me. I informed him that it was an open bar and that he could be if he wanted. We laughed and I stumbled away.
I was at my old local spot having a beer after work when someone sits next to me, orders a beer, and says, "What a day..." to which I replied, "Tell me about it." We subtly raise glasses, and he walks off to make a phone call. The bartender excitedly came and asked if I knew who that was. I didn't see his face but the voice sounded familiar. She informed me it was H. Jon Benjamin.
