    Default Brushes with celebrity...

    ...would make an awesome name for a charitable group which enlists celebs to team with people to paint houses for the poor.

    But what we're talking about here is meeting celebrities, be they musicians, actors, athletes, etc.

    I'll begin the bragging:

    I recently posted a thread on Jimmy Eat World's forum about the lyrics to an older version of a song off their new album that was just released, asking what a "new wood doctor" (as I heard it) was.

    Jim had this to say:

    While it's not completely unheard of for them to reply to stuff on their forum, it is pretty rare, so I was super stoked!

    But then I realized I end up having conversations with almost all of my favorite celebs (Dar Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, Margaret Cho, Imogen Heap, Amanda Palmer, Maire Brennan, everyone in 1997, Piers Anthony, Ursula K. LeGuin... And I'm sure there are others I can't remember off the top of my head.

    Which of your favorite celebrities have you met?

    I've yet to meet any proper celebrities I've been on stage with someone called David Cassidy when I was a kid and Caleb Followill waved at me at a Kings of Leon concert when I dared to stand up on the second tier of the concert hall

    You've met Amanda Palmer?! Bastian, my friend, we need to talk. What did she say? WHY DOES EVERYONE MEET HER BUT ME? My best girl met her, too.

    I haven't met anyone worth noting.

    Pretty much the way he comes off on his site. He's a pretty cool guy as long as you don't look funny or say anything stupid. xD

    What was really cool was that him and his hot ass editor (I think she was his editor) remembered me from the book signing when I saw them again at Comic-Con.
