karl gambolputty...:
I met Jesse Sykes once, after a show.  She shook my hand and called me sweet because I was drunk and babbling about how awesome she is.

I didn't meet them, but I have been in the same bar as Matthew Mcconaughey and Britt Daniels (two different occasions).  Turns out they are both kind of jerks.

TheFuriousWombat:
A friend of mine is good friends with Steve Buscemi's son. This friend of a friend is in a band that played at my school b/c our mutual friend set up a show for the band. Anywho, Steve Buscemi was at the show, hanging out in SMOG, a rather tiny garage/venue on campus. We talked a bit. It was cool.

BrittanyMarie:
That IS really cool.

I annoyed the shit out of Dan from Wolf Parade and Handsome Furs. That tends to happen a lot when you are incredibly drunk, and they are not. At least I got a free shirt though!

Somewhere, the 2002 Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hughes has a picture of us. We talked to her at the Minneapolis airport and she whipped out the camera.

And I met Little Richard once at a hotel. He was terrifying. Calvin Johnson is also terrifying; when he looks at you he has the creepiest stare.

A Wet Helmet:
I have met a whole hell of a lot of bass players, which is kind of odd because I only kind of dabble in bass, but I play guitar. 
Also odd I think is that of what is about to be a very long list, I don't really know any of these folks.  As in... we're not buddies.  Nobody's given me their cell number, you know? But I've met every one of them.

Bass Players
Doug Wimbish twice, about 15 years apart.  Once in D.C., once in New York
Dave Ellefson
JD DeServio
Tony Levin
Leland Sklar
Rode in an elevator with Stu Hamm
Chuck Rainey

Other Musicians
I Drove Tim Alexander around D.C. in a lowrider I used to own and eventually dropped him off at his hotel
I've been in the dressing room of the old 930 club with Sick of it All
Also at the old 930 I talked briefly with Nivek Ogre
I've met all the guys in Fugazi, Skeeter from Scream, met the Bad Brains, the Cro-Mags, and lots of other even lesser known bands.
I worked briefly in the early 90s at a club in D.C called The Bayou.  Met a ton of the acts.  Hell, the first night I worked there White Zombie was playing.  Approximately eleven and a half billion shitty college metal bands came through while I was there, as well as Sophie B. Hawkins, Lynch Mob, LSD, and Jackal.

Actors
I spent about five minutes talking with Stacy Keach when I was about 17, and when I was ten or eleven I stood in line at the local video store to get James Doohan to autograph a comic book.

Favorite 'famous' guy
About a year before he died, I got to meet MSG Roy Benavidez .  He was the great uncle of a guy that worked for me at the time and was just soooooo cool.

*whew*  I think that covers it.

tania:
