I met Bobby Ore at an airport (forget which one), He was standing outside smoking a cigar Me and my dad introducted ourselves and I got to shake his hand! He was a great hockey player.

In a hotel we we're taking an elevator up and the elevator stopped to pick some people up, and the whole elevator filled up with TALL people in nice suits holding clipboards. We asked if they were a sports team, and they said they were trying out for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, dunno if that even counts but XD

I've had several Christmas Brunches with the Prince George cougars of the WHL, we met Devin Setoguchi (San Hose Sharks), he was a very nice kid. And they told us Zedno Chara holds the record for the most seconds. They said he went back for seconds like 12 times? Holy crap!!

I saw Pamela Anderson at a Vancouver Grey Cup Parade. People on the street yelled stuff like "take it off" and stuff as she passed in her limo, I lol'd.

Sebastian Shaw of the RSC came to my Elizabethan Drama class at the University of Maryland years ago, then when I saw him at the instant Luke removes Vader's helmet in Return of the Jedi the first time it was one of those "where have I seen him before" moments followed quickly by the rush of realizing that he'd been just a few feet away from me when he visited my classroom just a year or so before.

I was also witihin arms reach of John Entwistle once when he played in Washington, D.C. on one of his solo tours.

I've met the cast and writers of Mystery Science Theater 3000 a few times by going to the conventions put on by those people back in 1994 and 1996.

I also got to sit and chat with Bill Guarnere, one of the soldiers of Easy Company made famous by Band of Brothers - he came to my high school during my senior year to talk to the class, since he lives in Philadelphia and my school is only about an hour/hour and a half out of the way. He was great; knows a lot of jokes, very funny, and has tons of stories to tell (as you would expect).

I just shook Robert Gates hand and spoke to him for a while.

Other than that two other SECDEFs and Dan Quayle, everyone else is a musician.
