I just met Lady GaGa

[ABLb0y]

Lady GaGa? You mean my personal hero Lady GaGa?

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[rabidmidget]

I met Steve Irwin before he was famous, he was rescuing a venomous snake caught in my chicken fence, as this was back when he just worked at the zoo.

Then again later, when his daughter started going to my school.

And at a snake demonstration at Australia zoo.

It isn't that weird considering the area wasn't that highly populated.

Met a few musicians couple of actors and a bunch of sports stars (mostly hockey and footie/soccer players).
They always are normal as hell (especially the sports stars). I live in a rural area and know, especially in the case of the actors that have been in the area, that they just want to be treated like everyone else. I assume that I've met some of the ego-free celebrities out there, so I don't want to suggest that celebrities aren't jerkfaces.

(I am friends with some comic artists-due to the arty area that I live in-but those guys/gal are DEFINITELY normal in a nerdy way, which is refreshing.)

I am equally jealous. *green*

 

[SNIPERFOX ft. Harry P.Ness]

The most famous person i 'met' was Jokaim Broden.
Not much of a conversation, tour plans, plans from the future, etc..
and i left my camera in the car...
He's a pretty decent guy, not likesome pop stars with their massive inflated egos judging from interviews.

 

[imnot]

I FUCKING LOVE CORN FIELDS!!

OMG SAME corn is so taty and sweet to the lips!
I met no one particualry famous.

 

[pspman45]

I met Morgan Freeman at a Robotics competition in St. Louis, Missouri
while it was short lived, he did speak in his trademark awesome voice!

Ha ha! I will dine out on the fact I had Poliakoff as a tutor for the rest of my life! I would have loved to have met Peter Cushing! Damn your father for meeting deceased english actors (grrrr....)

I'd pay! If only for the anecdotes (and maybe some face time with the man if at all possible). Now that I think about it, he and my dad would have a better conversation than I would, seeing as how he's the inorganic chemist of the family.

Dredging up my pre-teen days, Kriss Akabusi was a part-time trainer at my primary school, quite how or why I can't recall. At high school, Trevor Brooking was a guest and the prize winners (for the yearly propaganda event, that's basically what it was) all got to meet & greet him, myself included. That was pretty cool.

And then, I remembered... my entire family has (at some point) had to share tube space with that effing c Bob Crowe...

 

[Logic Sword]

Spoiler: Jasper Fforde.

Spoiler: Twice.

Points if you know what he wrote without the use of Wikipedia! And listing the titles in the pictures doesn't count.

Apart from that, no-one.

Thursday Next, Nursery Crimes, Shades of Grey, The Last Dragonslayer.

And I've met him four times, so ha.

OT: Met Dave Gorman (comedian) at a book signing. My Uncle also spent a fair bit of time playing pool with Jo Brand, Paul Merton and Graham Norton.

 

[The Stonker]

I FUCKING LOVE CORN FIELDS!!

Who doesn't?

OT: I guess that's kind of cool.

Uh... I dunno, corn field haters?

Haters be hatin'.

But well, as interesting as she seems then I have met a far more interesting person.
Bjork.
What? Lady Gaga just steals the creepy factor from her.

 

[Nudu]

You might just have been trippping. I know I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

 

[Cyanin]

Saw John C. McGinley walking down Grafton Street and my friend was on the Luas (tram) with him. Okay so that's not much but I also ran into the lead singer of Ham Sandwich after she walked out of a cinema.

Yeah I don't see famous people, what of it!?

You can have a conversation with Poliakoff about almost anything actually. I once had an hour long conversation with him about the race to build the atomic bomb in world war II and theories as to why the German's failed in their attempts. Hell, you can actually have a conversation with him about water bottles, he collects them and lines them up in his office. He also teaches molecular symmetry using dog toys,that's always a riot!

Anyway, on topic: Your family are quite the star magnets aren't they? Peter Cushing and Richard Attenborough! I really want to meet them. (A bit difficult in the case of Peter Cushing, but I can dream... Ah well, I will just live in the hope that I get to meet Christopher Lee.)

 

[sheogoraththemad]

My uncle is good mates with Brian May, (Guitarist from Queen) and a lot of famous people visited his restaurant like Mick Jagger etc.

 

[Outlaw Torn]

I met Steve Austin before he was famous, he was rescuing a venomous snake caught in my chicken fence, as this was back when he just worked at the zoo.

Then again later, when his daughter started going to my school.

And at a snake demonstration at Australia zoo.

It isn't that weird considering the area wasn't that highly populated.

Do you mean Steve Irwin? Or did Stone Cold Steve Austin really wrangle snakes down under?

LOL, reminds me of one of the organic lecturers I had. One of the girls in the class brought in a pot plant as a housewarming gift (party to be held after uni was out). Don (the lecturer) walks up to the pot plant and proceeds to talk to it, ending with 'not feeling chatty, today? Too bad.' But then, he then goes on to lecture the pot plant (in advanced retrosynthesis) and the pot plant alone. That was quite amusing.

And yet another one has come to mind... Barry Took, a few years before he died, met him at a charity do in Colchester. At first I didn't realise who he was (me being only about twelve at the time).

Oh yeah, and I'd love to meet Christopher Lee as well. Actually, I'd love to hear him sing live even more.

 

[MulticolorCharizard]

Daniel Radcliffe, when he was filming part of this horror film in my village. The name escapes me. He's a nice guy. Short, though.

The Woman in Black?

OT: Met Iggy Pop VERY briefly once at a gig, say him after a show and just walked up to him and said "Hey man, your gig was fucking sweet, can you sign this" ("this" was a copy of Raw Power if anyone cares) and he just said "Thanks, sure man" and he signed it, and I went off.

 

[ArchAngelKira]

This is how it would go in a nutshell

{! Oh hi,(insert famous person name here) I hope you enjoy yourself here. well bye}

 

[dui29aghgb]

I washed my hands next to Alton Brown when I was nine.
Greatest day of my life. (not really)

I wish my lecturer in retrosynthesis was as cool. He was called Barry, and woebetide if your phone rang in the middle of a lecture. He would actually answer the phone and then confiscate it. He was also the first lecturer I encountered that reduced a fresher to tears (I later found out that it isn't exactly difficult to reduce freshers to tears, I mean how bloody difficult is it to understand that you DO NOT add water to a Grignard reagent? grumble grumble)

Have you ever seen The Wicker man? That's the only film I have seen Christopher Lee in which he sings (that I can remember).

Got chatting to INME after a gig one year when they were signing autographs after the show. They casuallymentioned that they were going to a certain bar afterwards and asked if we (me and my GF) fancied coming along.

Unfortunately we had to decline as we weren't both of age to be allowed access to a bar. Absolutely gutted... They're pretty decent folk.

Ive met Dave McPherson at a gig in london, he was a cool guy, nice to see another INME fan on the Escapist. My mate met him again at an acoustic gig where he told him to play master storm he laughed and said "I think this a bit heavy for this crowd"

OT: I met Corpsegrinder of Cannibal Corpse as well but only shook hands, and i had vip tickets to meet slayer but i coudnt make the gig which pissed me off, hopefully im gonna meet Devin Townsend and Dave McPherson again next month when i go to their accoustic gig.
