I met Simon Pegg, Kate Ashfield and Nick Frost when they were filming Shaun Of The Dead. I don't remember it very well, but it was rather a few years ago.
WHAT? THEM BE FIGHTING WORDS. EVERYONE KNOW APPLES ORCHARDS ARE FULL OF WIN AND VICTORY.MeXR said:
OT.
I met Jamie Fox, my mayor of the city, and George Perez. I also met and hated Frank miller.
I always wanted to meet Linkara, Grant morrison and Kevin Smith.
I met Ross Noble a couple times after his gigs, he's pretty much the same, except he wears this great sort of farmer's cap with all his hair tucked in. He's happy to sign my ticket every year, even gave me a little inspirational message on my first one since I was one of the audience members of his show.
Also met Tommy Tallerico (Or however you spell his last name). He does a lot of game music, most notably the old Earthworm Jim games. He was over in Dublin on his Video Games Live tour, I won some contest thing where I could play Sweet Emotions on Guitar Hero with the whole Orchestra, so I hung out backstage with him a bit. Cool guy, a bit pushy when it comes to putting on a show. He made me do Expert mode when I'd only played the song once before...
When we were in Paris apparantly Kylie Minogue was sitting behind us in a cafe, but I didn't see her. When my mom saw her she took out a camera and she looked a little angry, but then my mom turned the camera to us and took a family photo, I think she appreciated that lack of attention.
My mom's met loads of famous stage actors, mostly english and irish ones, but I'm always impressed at the names she's met.

I FUCKING HATE THOSE CORN FIELD HATERS! If I ever met one of them their will be blood...MeXR said:
Anyways I have never met a famous person before, so I cant give much of a opinion.
Oh, er...I'm..happy for you? Honestly, she's pretty low on my list of celebrities that I'd like to meet.
The closest I'd ever been to meeting a famous person was that kid in Star Wars Episode 1 that picked on Anikin's pod racer. He was at a scout camp running one of the stations. He was kinda a douche.

I met The Wiggles when I was a kid. Got a VCR tape with all their signatures on it. Like a boss.
Ahaha, memories. Last year at Supernova (a convention here in Melbourne), I met and got a photo with Ben Browder, known most notably for the last couple seasons of Stargate SG-1, and the series Farscape.
Talking for a little bit before getting the photo, we laughed about the fact that I was too tall, and we had to swap who's arm was going over who for the photo.
And afterwards, we just talked a little bit about, regular conversation, laughing with each other some more before I had to leave so the next person could get their photo.
I don't normally fanboy like I did, but I literally couldn't stop smiling for almost a week after that.
(Not posting the image here, though. While I'm fine with posting images of myself, I'm not so sure about posting ones of other people...)

I met Dennis Locorriere when I was nine. I went with my extended family and we were in the front row. His capo flew off his guitar in the middle of the performance or when he was just tweaking his guitar a bit, and my great aunt and granny made me get up and give it back to him.
He said thank you, asked my age and all, smiling, was really kind and then started his next song. Later we got to talk to him a bit and I got my photo with him. I'll have to fish it out; it's a nice enough photograph but I don't know if I'd be prepared to show my nine-year-old self to the internet, hah.
I was also mentioned in the local newspaper (which is probably still about somewhere as well) for being so helpful. >.> In fact, I found an internet version of it, aiee..
Press Ctrl+F and search the sentence "Most of the audience were, ahem, of a certain age though one nice little nine year old girl ran to the stage. "When's she's 21," quipped Locorriere, "I'll be dead." on http://www.dennislocorriere.com/tour-dates.htm
I actually remember him saying that now. I'm 18 now, and he seems well enough so I'm sure he'll be alive and kicking by then. I mean, come on; he's younger than Ritchie Blackmore and he's well.
Anyhow, I don't usually like country but I really like his. Probably grown on me over the years, mind you, because of my gran.

Huh, I envy you lot. I can't remember ever meeting anyone vaguely famous. Oh well.
Oh wow, for the first time in this thread I am properly jealous. "You lucky bastard" is all I can really say.SenseOfTumour said:
I met Cal Ripken Jr once, 3rd baseman/Shortstop for the Orioles. Book signing.
I was named after him actually.
