Famous people
NarwhalSunshine:
The Pink Spiders are from the next town over and played a lot of shows at the club my brother used to book for. They're pretty nice guys.
Patrick:
Is Gary Paulsen famous enough? 'Cause I've met him a couple of times, he came to my hometown on different occasions promoting one of those books, The Hatchet or Brian's Winter or whatever it was that he'd just released. I was like 8 or something but he was really nice.
...I suppose if you're going to be a children's author you had fucking well better be nice.

I dunno, maybe it's different for children's TV stars, but Bill Nye was a dick to my friend when he was little.
muteKi:
I know people who ran into Bill Nye on an elevator once -- I must have taken the stairs or something.
This was like at the Grand Hyatt in NYC, only a block or two away from Grand Central Station.
They mentioned he was not very friendly. I suspect if XKCD is accurate, then it's to be expected, though. I sure would hate being him in that sort of situation.
RedLion:
A friend of mind went outside of a stand-up place and smoked a cig with Dave Chapelle a few years ago.
Er..this week I met the Ambassador of France, the Ambassador of Turkey, Senator Russ Feingold and Senator Joe Biden. Do they count as famous people?
