I think this is an interesting question for the org- Who have you met that is famous (seeing them in concert doesn't count). Looking back every famous person I met was mostly at the airport, that would include Prince/John Travolta/Tommy Lee/ Cast from Lost Kate/Hurly/Charlie (no surspise there since I'm in Hawaii). Also long time ago when I was 8 years old I met Jack Lord (Steve Magaret from Hawaii 5-0). I was at a hospital and I guess they were shooting there at the time. I was waiting outside on a bench and I saw Jack Lord walking down the hallway coming towards me, he stop gave me a wink then kept walking on. I thought that was cool. Ok what are your stories.

I've met many musicians at signings and after shows, but most aren't particularly famous.

I did hold a door open for Prince when he came to a movie at the theatre I was managing back in '95. He said "thank you" very politely. I was speechless and couldn't even choke out a "you're welcome". So I wouldn't exactly call that "meeting" him.

recently ( this yr )


I met and talked with Michelle Obama after a dinner here in our area. That was a wonderful experience

Tis good to have state reps and Senators as friends

I once contacted Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe on the Ouija board. Such good people...

and then... I will be ready...

I will tell you a story about T.I. He was at the station for a listener lunch. A couple of winners got to hang out at our station conference room and have lunch with him. HOOCHIEs came out THICK. Well while TI was posing with two ho's on his lap, the record label rep came out of my boss' office to have my boss meet him. She introduces my boss, the program director, and as quick as you could say hoochies, he pushed them chickens off his lap so quick and started to shake my boss' hand and thank him for playing his records.

It was a funny and very classic moment. Groupie ass biatches had their feelin's hurt. You shoulda seen them ho's faces!
