The only celebraties I have ever seen have been local ones. I know and jam with my friend's dad regularily. He used to play lead guitar in a pretty successful band, successful enough that he had toured across the county once. I have also jammed with many other bands from around the area, and I hope to create a band in the near future. Have I met anyone really famous? No, but I have met a lot of decently well-known people as a temporary bassist.
Also, I met the former governor at a street fair when I was fire-eating. I suppose that was pretty cool.

Buckshot Jones, who drove NASCAR for a few years was a high school classmate of mine.

I knew Chipper Jone's first wife, Karin, since second grade, so I met him October 1993 at the 5 year reunion. That was 6 months before he blew out his knee and missed the 1994 season, and 2 years before he helped the Atlanta Braves win the World Series. He seemed like a real nice and normal guy before he got rich and famous.

I met Tom Selleck back when I played volleyball for OU. My coach knew him, and he came to a tournament in Chicago. The whole team went out to dinner with him.
I have been to Richard Simmons house. He is as fruity in real life as he is on TV.
I met Bart Conners who has a gym back in my home town of Norman, OK.
And I did not meet Jim Morrison, but the house that is on his birth certificate, 2100 Vernon Place, Melbourne, FL, is the same exact house that I lived in when my daughter was born. So Maya and Jim Morrison were born in the same house. Maybe that's why she's so musical.
Kelly Slater is really good friends with a surfer friend of mine. Kelly came to my friends Halloween party and he was dating Pamela Anderson at the time, so I got to party with Kelly Slater and Pam Anderson :jam:

I find it distressing that those whom society "celebrates" are celebrated only for their being well-known, rather than for any noteworthy accomplishments on their part.
Our universities are full of scientists and philosophers making major contributions to human thought and technology; people whose works and writings will be known a century from now.
Today's actors and pop-stars will fade into obscurity.

On that note, Seyorni, mine is someone I think will be known a century from now, heheee.
"Gordon" from Sesame Street. He was signing autographs for kids outside a store in Michigan. When I got into the line, I was the only adult, but I was pleased to see some others join the cue after me. Maybe my 'bravery' led them in?
I didn't want an autograph. Thankfully, what I did want, he was okay with giving, and that was a hug.
What more can you ask from someone who was so crucial in your upbringing?

I met "Uncle Bobby". Does anyone remember him? And I met "Mr.Dress Up". I had an exciting childhood anyway.

One for the Jedis on the forum, I guess. About the only famous person I ever met (apart from the actors from Emmerdale - a British soap opera - that I used to bump into all the time growing up in Leeds) is Ian McDiarmid (sp?). That's the guy who played the Emperor in the Star Wars films. I bumped into him on the tube and then had to endure severe embarrassment as a friend of mine kept doing Darth Vader impressions.

The only celbrity I've met is someone that has been a major influence and part of my life so Seyorni although they may not be remembered in a hundred years she means a lot to me. My favorite singer Bif Naked. I've gotten to hang out on her bus after her concerts 3 times and sit around and talk with her and her band. Hopefully if it ever happens again I won't be so excited and nervous as I have been and be all uptight...although I imagine I will be.

I've met Dorothy Morris, Edian McCoy, and M.R. Sellars. If anyone here has the chance to meet at least Sellars at a book signing or something, you should definitly go. If you get lucky enough to meet him at a small place and a large crowd doesn't happen, he is a great person to talk to.
I've met a number of pro-wrestlers, including Shawn Micheals, Ax of Demolition, Honky Tonk Man, King Kong Bundy (I was kinda of dissapointed, since he's not a giagantic as I always invisioned him. I'm actually a few inches taller than he is.), Disco Inferno (Glenn Gilberti), and Road Warrior Animal.
