Usually I don't get too excited about that stuff...but when i saw David Byrne at an arcade fire concert I walked up to him, touched his arm and said "You are so awesome." He looked bugged out and sorta said thanks all wide-eyed with fright at the big haired stoner talking to him. It made my day.
Um, my friends knocked over Kieran Culkin, so I met him that way.
Saw Bruce Willis when I was young in an amusement park with one of his kids, he was kind of a dick.

Yeah, the reason we knocked him over was because we always called it the Culkin, from when they tried to do it to Macaulay.
I got culkined the other night. I hurt my back.

yea, I thought if he didnt have such a thick neck, it would surely crumble under the weight of the 50 lbs of solid gold he was wearing. I mean I knew he wore a lot, but god damn, it was like cartoonish

Just a week ago, I was running sound at a bar, just got done setting up, when a van pulls up in the parking lot and the guys in the band say, "hey look, adrian is here". I go about my business turning knobs and whatnot when i look up and see Adrian Belew in front of me. At that exact moment, i had "Happy with what you have to be hapy with" in the cd player. Got him to autograph that, and then started praying to any possible higher power for him to just get on stage and play.

Shook Woody Harrelson's hand, saw Matthew McCaughnehey, Elizabeth Hurley, and the rest of the cast of EDTV at the premiere, brought a room service order to George Straight (really short), heard George Clooney's voice over the phone, saw him from the back between two friends/bodyguards, talked to Dennis Miller on the phone, there might be others......
