Have you met anyone famous or seen famous people? Name them.
I have met:
The lead singer of El Trono de Mexico before their concert - I used to have a picture of me with him, but it's gone now.
Diana Reyes - she came to the Mexican Restaurant I was working at and ate with her crew and took pictures with us. I was too shy to really talk to her even though I know Spanish and she actually insisted on getting a picture of just her & me together.
Mark Hoppus - I didn't actually "meet" him, but I saw Blink 182 front row and caught his bottle of water. He laughed at me.
Jennifer Hudson - Another one I didn't meet myself, but she came into the Red Lobster I was working at and had dinner. So did that Kimberly Locke that was a finalist on American Idol. I wasn't their server, but I saw them.
Steve McNair, The Titans QB that was murdered - My ex got his autograph before he died and also Vince Young's for me - they frequented his restaurant when they were in town.. The autographs were gotten on separate occasions and again, I don't have them anymore. They got lost during the Breakup.
Hank Williams Jr & Kid Rock - Saw them taping the MV for "Naked Women & Beer" on top of the strip club across from where we used to go eat sushi.
Don Garlitz - the Drag Racer
My Dad - The Sprint Car Driver. He's Google-able.
EDIT:
I also used to be friends with Krystal Yang - the (former?) manager of Silver Ash - China's first major visual kei/rock band as well as Marie Matteucci (who dated Yoshiki and was in the PV for "DAHLIA" by X Japan) online for awhile. Marie actually told me I was a really good writer - this was back in 2003.
And Sonia Nazario, who wrote "Enrique's Journey" - One of my all time favorite books. I've communicated with her via email several times out of sheer curiosity as to what's going on with the subject of the book and his family. She was extremely sweet in her responses and actually told me a lot more about them all than I expected her to. I have read and re-read this book and read it some more so many times over the last 6 years that the pages are getting worn and I've long since lost the book jacket.
