I've met and interviewed Ben Mattes of Ubisoft Montreal. Also I have a bunch of friends there. Also I've exchanged emails with Jordan Mechner. He is a really a genuine and nice person.
Family:
My Aunt is a daughter of the owner of one of the largest newspapers in Pakistan.
My other Aunt is a daughter of some folks in the Pakistani military.
So I get most of the news concerning Pakistan from them... Trust me its nothing real special though.
XCell9200 said:I met andy dick. Kennedy airport. I was waiting for my bag, he had this huge bodyguard, and no one was talking to him. I was standing across from him so he finally talked to me. I was wearing an Avenged Sevenfold tshirt, and he said "is that a band?" i said "yeah" he said "is it YOUR band?" i said "no". That was it.
I actually sort of felt bad for him because no one was acknowledging him, even though he really wanted them to.
Subliminal said:I met Will Smith, We Modelled Sunglasses together.
I'll try and see if i have a picture.
Meadows said:If me and Will Smith modelled sunglasses together I'd have that picture pinned to my start menu, and in my wallet, and on my desktop background, and framed on a wall.

CaptainABAB said:Funny (or sad) that Andy Dick keeps coming up.
CaptainABAB said:- met Jimmy Fallon and hung out with him and other people at some club. Andy Dick was there and gave my buddy a titty twister (coke might have been involved). Anyway, he ended up taking a piss next to Fallon in the bathroom, who remarked to my buddy: "how is it like working like a cog for the man?" (we're business software developers.) My buddy remarked: "how is like being Lorne Michaels bitch?" Out of nowhere, got sucker punched by Fallon. Still hates him.
Zio said:I've met Jordan Rudess, keyboardist for Dream Theater, a few times. I once randomly won this sweepstakes that got me a backstage pass, a concert ticket, and a private lesson with him before the show. That was an amazing and memorable experience. I got brought backstage, heard John Petrucci warming up behind one of the walls, saw John Myung on a couch going nuts on his bass. Ran into James Labrie (their Canadian singer) and he was like "who the fuck is this guy?", pointing at me, :lol. I was led into the keyboard warm up room where Rudess was. We first let our hands thaw out over a radiator while we shot the shit. We sat down at the keyboard and I played something for him, something I've been writing for a few years. He said he really liked it, had some suggestions, and without even really looking at what I was playing, he played it back to me perfectly by ear and basically made it sound so much better! James Labrie burst into the room, without knocking, and yelled at Rudess "WHERE ARE THE FUCKING BACKPLUGS???! HAVE YOU SEEN THE BACKPLUGGS??!" I think they were called backpluggs...but neither of us knew where they were. The lesson ended and I went on to experience a 3 hour show of just Dream Theater. It was intensely awesome, even exhausting, but in a good way.
It was quite the experience...something I'll probably tell my kids someday. I mean, the guy is a big part of why I've kept playing keyboards and piano....discovering his music sort of opened up a new world for me, and getting to meet him like this was just all sorts of fucking awesome.

I have a picture of Chris Jericho choking me.
I met Jim Carey in a strip club.
I made out with Jenny McCarthy in high school (she wasn't famous yet so I don't know if that counts).
Smoked up with Adam Sandler.
Keanu Reeves sat with me at lunch once (prior to the Matrix) and bummed a smoke off of me afterwards.
Waited on Jimmy Stewart (It's a Wonderful Life) when I was a teenager. He ws really awesome. I jokingly told him he did the best Jimmy Stewart I'd ever heard; then of couse he tells me that's because he is Jimmy Stewart.
