Why do people care so much about celebrities.
I met Bob at a store the other day, it was grand.
Bob works at a meat packing plant, but you'd care only if he had been in a movie

I understand your criticism, but you must see this is hardly Ben & JLo National Enquirer spectacle worship.
I think it was pretty cool communicating with Terrence McKenna as it meant alot to me. Same with talking with Billy Corgan, a musician whose songs had a long history with me - someone who once was a young, troubled '90s grunge kid.
If you met some far out musician or author that you were interested in, would you not tell you friends and family? Or at the very least post a random thread about it on the 'net that'll be read by 30 people and then forgotten?
peace

What an interesting thread...
I guess I've MET a lot of famous people, but not for any interesting reason other than having stood in a line to meet these people.
My only interesting story... You'd probably have to be Canoodian to know him, but my boyfriend's uncle is Mark Dailey from CityTV. (the guy with the deep voice, and droopy eyes)

I personally met Henry and Elizabeth Segerstrom at the opening night of the Segerstrom Hall. I'm best friends with his step granddaughter. He died a few years back. It was a $3,000 ticket black tie event. Henry got the tickets for us. I got really fucking drunk at the dinner after the classical music concert. It was a completely open bar.
I used to be roommates with one of Phil Collen's sons in North Hollywood. The guitarist for Def Leppard's son. my best friend was dating him a few years. Honestly he's a deadbeat loser who has no motivation or urgency to do anything with himself. He turned into a daddy's trust fund rich kid. He ended up going to rich person's drug rehab and then broke up with my best friend when he got back.
When I was 14 I went up to Hollywood to get an autograph from Marilyn Manson but the line ended up being way too long and he was not letting everyone come in. A few of us did go to an area that he was across from and he saw us and gave us all a thumbs-up and he looked in my direction.

Who asked you? I did not make the post with the intention of anyone liking or even caring. It's like 3 a.m. and I'm bored and I saw the post and thought I would give my 2 cents on what celebrities I have seen.

My wife’s gf is a somewhat well known actress who was a main character in a highly watched HBO series. Yesterday I was hanging out with the anchor on a local TV news program.
Oh my wife is in a new Mark Wahlberg movie coming out soon.

I’ve met a whole bunch of famous DJs/producers, even partied with some. But they’re niche celebrities, most of you guys probably haven’t heard of them.
Once I was in the Natural History Museum in NYC, and I saw then-actress, now-gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon. This was during the height of Sex & The City’s popularity, and even tho my gf was a fan, we didn’t approach her because she was just quietly walking around with her daughter.
And once Evander Holyfield walked past me on the street in Manhattan. I didn’t say anything because I’m not a boxing fan.
EDIT: Marilyn Manson once too. He’s kind of a dick.

Oh i met Matt Stone, Trey Parker, Kathleen Turner and Daniel Craig when I went to see the Book of Mormon. Matt Stone was standing next to me for half the show . Ive had short convos with Michael J Fox and David Bowie. I see David Brooks, Supreme Court Justice Roberts and child sex ring leader John Podesta at the grocery store from time to time. Ralph Wilson, who owned the Buffalo Bills, was a friend of my parents who I met once
Enough name dropping
