tania:
as related in a previous post, i saw edward norton in a markham grocery store last september but was too terrified to actually say anything to him and hid in the cereal aisle instead.

i also met the coheed guys when i was 16 and somehow thought they were really great but i think maybe that one counts for negative points now.

yelley:
i met jason mewes when he hosted some kind of battle of the bands thing at my college.

i met vienna teng (does anybody even know who she is?) and skybox at concerts they gave at notre dame.

and i met jason mraz and talib kweli after a concert that notre dame has every year to deter students from going to the rally in the alley party the first weekend of school. i gave them directions to the rally, which was postponed until after the concert ended.

yaaaaay.

When I was in NYC for choir we went to the Early Show. David Krumholtz (Numbers, Serenity, etc) was on and I got his autograph and a picture with him. He was ridiculously nice to all of the people in to audience and was chatting with everyone.

Also on that trip we had a choir workshop with some Broadway performers. One was playing Raoul in Phantom of the opera at the time, the other was in Rent. They were both really nice and were cracking lots of jokes. I got a picture with them also.

As for musicians, I met all the members of The Spill Canvas after a concert of theirs and got all of their autographs on a poster, which is hanging above my computer. In a similar fashion I met the guys from Minus the Bear while heading to their show. I was going to get in line, they were going to Subway to get some food.

I talked to Ted Leo himself before they started their set, and also Ben Bridwell from Band of Horses on a differ occasion. This is why I get to the shows early so I can stand front and center.

And lastly, I shared a couch with Phil Elv(e)rum (The Microphones/Mt. Eerie) and had a nice chat with him throughout a concert before he went up on stage.

jhocking:
My favorite celeb story is the time my gf and I barreled past Philip Seymour Hoffman and his son while rushing through Greenwich Village.

Lunchbox:
I used to work at the Uni bar, so I have served a whole bunch of Australian bands hot chips during their sound checks. I waitressed at Jennifer Hawkins' (in her Miss Universe year) brother's wedding and accidentally stuck my butt in her face while I was offering canapes to someone on the next table.
Also the bastard Bank Manager from the Greater Building Society ads used to be a regular when I worked at an Italian cafe, and every time he spoke to me I wanted to punch him.
