[ItsAChiaotzu]

Tim Minchin, I touched his hair. It was the best day ever.

 

[MalevolentJim]

I met Andrew Maxwell an irish comedian in my local Theater after doing a show.

 

[Agayek]

I met Chuck Norris once when he came by the Karate dojo I used to go to.

The guy's a dick.

 

[Jon Etheridge]

I stood in a customs line for about an hour with George Forman. He was a nice guy. Also, living in Wilmington I've met a lot of the actors from One Tree Hill. Nice people other than Chad but I'm not a fan of the show.

[PxDn Ninja]

I hung out with Turisas after a concert of theirs for a bit.

Also had a business dinner with Warren Specter (designer of the original Deus Ex).

A couple friends of mine at E3 about 6 years ago were playing DDR and an interview was going on nearby with Lance Bass, who saw them playing and was amazed at their antics (we all played a LOT and did freestyle) and stopped the interview to watch and commented with them for a moment.

 

[Vorocano]

Most famous person I've ever met would have to be Robin Williams, in an EB Games store in Winnipeg, MB. He was on a movie shoot (The Big White), and buying video games at the time (Battlefield 1942). Got to shake his hand, it was pretty cool.

Also met Khari Jones, who was at the time the starting quarterback for my beloved Winnipeg Blue Bombers (CFL Football) in an airport waiting lounge.

My best story, though: the Bible college I attended invited Stockwell Day, former Leader of the Opposition in the Canadian Parliament, and currently Minister of International Trade, to speak in chapel one morning. I met and chatted with him a bit, in the Men's room before chapel started. Just one of those weird random stories.

And I guess in terms of non-politicians, the Eagles.

You lucky man, I would love to meet RATM!

 

[Ares Tyr]

The members of the band Wretched, who are still pretty underground, but are signed to Victory Records, have a nationally released album, and are generally awesome dudes.

I shook, held, bro-grabbed the hand of the vocalist of The Faceless at a show.

That's about it.
