Grr.

I saw Chris Jericho at a club in Tampa one night. A buddy and I were in VIP and the DJ announced that he was in the building. He just waltzed in and stood right next to me and knodded like a regular patron. He was pretty short and looked too small to me to be a professional wrestler. However, I did have a bit of Jager in me.

Eartha Kitt. A friend has contacts in the entertainment world and we were back stage after a play meeting someone... Miss Kitt had been in the audience for the show and was stopping to congratulate the cast. She was quite short.

Ben Wallace, we were at a car show and he was signing autographs and he walked right in front of us with his kid to look at cars. It was really interesting

I was a couple of rows back at a Green Day concert. I got up on stage with the Dropkick Murphys and hugged Al. Touched the guy from Gogol Bordello - because I was front row. Hugged a couple of other people, who i think are famous, but not sure how famous to others. Billy Bragg signed my stub so that was cool. But i guess no one superstar famous...

There have been many, but most memorable for me, Phil Hill the first American to win the Formula 1 Drivers Championship. I attended a small dinner meeting at which Phil Hill spoke about his career in about 1990. That evening was very special for me. http://www.formula1.com/teams_and_drivers/hall_of_fame/493/ Most famous for everyone; I have seen J F Kennedy as his motorcade drove through my neighborhood in Oct 1962. Also saw Jimmy Carter at a town hall meeting in 1978 or '79 and took a few photographs of Jimmy.

Lou Brock handed me a cold beer! Circumstances? I was at a BallBQ benefit at Grant's Farm in StLouis. Mr Brock was in line in front of me, fishing a beer out of the iced down barrels that were placed at various locations. He stood up with two, turned to me and smiled and asked "Would you like a cold beer, sir?"... Being the Nitroduck that I am - I accepted - of course.

I generally work on big constuction projects on the management side and a number of these have been for foreign governments. So when the project is completed there is usually a handover party and at these I have chatted and shaken hands with the Premier of Hong Kong and the President of Egypt.

I waited on Harry Connick Jr & his wife at a restaurant I work at about 15 years ago. We actually had one of his CDs playing at the time. When I went over to the table he said "Hey, I love the music you guys play here". That's when I noticed who he was. He was a very nice guy and a GREAT tipper!!!

Obama, but it was years ago while he was just a politician who attended some gatherings held by my community.

Delta Goodrem. I used to work in the Oncology Department of the hospital where she received her treatment for cancer.

I was a police officer at a Del Shannon concert. He was about 30 or so feet away. Another time I was at a Johnny Cash concert about 30 rows of seats away. :) It was fun.

Since this is in the religion section, I'll say I shook hands with Gordon B. Hinkley. President Hinkley made several trips to Hawai`i Nei and I performed for him. After the performance, my niece (2 at the time) somehow escaped her parents and crawled past security and ended at the Prophet's feet. President Hinkley picked her up and waited for her family to arrive.

I have met too many to remember, but the two that stand out in my mind are General Norman Schwatzkopf and Lee Greenwood, I saw them both on the same day. I had a casual conversation with Mr. Greenwood, just before Schwatzkopf went by. At first, I did not realize who I was talking with until the conversation ended and my buddies started asking him for autographs.

I'm not sure who was the most famous. Here are some famous people I've met: Donald Trump, Whitey Ford, Reggie Jackson, Derek Jeter... Many famous athletes and some musicians.

When Queen Elizabeth II came to Canada during her Silver Jubilee, I went to see her as part of a school trip when I was 9 years old. I made it to the front of the crowd and, as she walked down the red carpet, waving, I reached out in a fit of enthusiasm and grabbed a handful of the skirt on her dress. Still smiling and waving, without missing a beat, she reached down and tugged the dress out of my hand. These days, of course, I'd probably have been shot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth_II On a school trip to the Parliament Buildings, we passed Pierre Trudeau in the hall, who waved to us. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Trudeau My parents are friends with Dan Hill ("Sometimes When We Touch") and they go out to dinner every time he's in town. He and my father used to sit in the living room and jam together on their guitars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Hill On IRC, I have chatted with Dan Barker (atheist activist and author) and Tani Jantsang (horror author and founder of the Satanic Reds movement). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Barker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theistic_Satanism#Possible_history_of_Theistic_Satanism I've exchanged a few pieces of email with Bill Quick, one of William Shatner's ghost writers. I wish I'd known at the time that he was a conservative, flag-waving asshole. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Quick As an activist, I (Andrew Nellis) have my own claims to fame (you can find a lot of newspapers articles about me, including a few biographical pieces, and I have the dubious honour of being featured in the chapter "Cult of Squeegee" in radio loud-mouth Lowell Green's book, "How the Granola-Crunching, Tree-Hugging, Thug Huggers are Wrecking Our Country") and I associate with other activists with similar notoriety, including Jaggi Singh, Jane Scharf, John Clarke, and Denis Rancourt. http://eng.anarchopedia.org/Andrew_Nellis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowell_Green http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaggi_Singh http://eng.anarchopedia.org/Jane_Scharf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Clarke_(activist) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Rancourt

I met Dez Fafara a while ago. I was at a a Devildriver concert, and I knew most of the people that worked at the venue so I got the chance to meet him.

I drove a city bus in Manhattan. Many actors and actresses, models were actually on my bus. Including a guy who fought Mike Tyson for the heavy weight championship, I picked him up on 125th st. in Harlem. I also saw many big names just walking the street. The drummer from the Police for instance. He was smoking a cigarette outside a place they were having music awards.

My daughter gave flowers to Lady Sarah Ferguson when she was Duchess of York. (and she was delightful, despite what the media always said) I have met a lot of Australian rock royalty-Marcia Hines, Jimmy Barnes,Jim Keays, Russell Morris, Doug Parkinson can't remember all of them. Met the then Prime Minister of Australia, Malcolm Fraser, when my father ran for parliament in the 70s, plus a few other well known pollies. But the most impressive person I have met and shaken hands with was Bishop Festo Kivengere, who was responsible for the bringing down of Idi Amin.

Former Redskins defensive end Charles Mann. He was sitting at a table signing autographs in a video store when I walked by.
