    I was 9 and I met Martin Shaw. ( A british actor from the TV Show ' The Professionals'.
    At that stage in my life he was my hero.
    On Australian national TV, Martin Shaw was directed to meet a huge fan.

    I met, and got a kiss on the cheek by, on national telly, my hero........

    Until I meet Pearl Jam in the street, nothing is going to top the above! :geek:

    the most famous people I've ever met?? Playing Polo with The Princes of Wales, in 94. That would be Charles and Harry, for some reason that I cannot remember William was not there.. I got kicked out of the game for calling Harry a clod when he kept Bar-checking my horse..
    Other than that I've taken the drummer and his road tech from Aerosmioth, Ed O'Neil, and Arnold Schwarzzeneger(?) horseback riding, oh and stupid assed Shannon Doherty too. And drove a buckboard wagon for Sonny Bono in a Palm Springs, prarade, just four months before he died.. and I picked up Nick Nolte off a dance floor, when the Chef at our company and he go into a fight and Steve cleaned his clock..Steve went to jail, the other seven of us were too drunk to drive and we had to walk back to the Polo Grounds..17 miles away!!!

    Eddie Vedder and Neil Young in the Waldorf, NYC, the night they inducted him into the R&R Hall of Fame.
    They didn't exactly speak to me, but they saw us and gave us the "how did u riffraff sneak onto the private floors of this hotel?" look. We just kept walking, psyched beyond beleif that we'd found them.
    Later in the night, Eddie came out and was pretty cool, albeit rushed, and trying no to be seen at all.

    Ron Howard walking with his assistant midtown Manhattan a few years ago. Told him how much I enjoyed Arrested Development.

    Got back to my office and perusing Google news, read that the show was officially cancelled that morning. :oops:

    I've met a few sports people over the years, some Flyers (Rick Tocchett, Peter Zezel, Brian Propp)

    never met him, but Pete Townshend and I are pen pals :D

    seriously, we've corresponded several times over the years. I absolutely love that man. He even sent me a Christmas card one year, and all of his correspondence has been personally written by him, which I think, from a mega rock star, that's pretty fucking cool

    I think I posted this before too. I was at a party years ago and I had my dad's old camera. Ringo Starr came up and asked me about it and we talked about cameras and photography. He was very nice. Did I even THINK to take a picture? I mean, I was holding a damn camera. But not, I didn't.
