    I don't have any celebrity stories who a damn. Except that time I banged Veronica Lake and Rosario Dawson. But we've all done that.

    I've met a fair few big name football players and metal musicians. I dunno how many count as celebrities.

    I've met a bunch of celebrities. Comes from doing music and bartending and general nightlifing in NYC

    One of my favorite things about living in NYC is when someone says

    "Hey, remember that time when Kiefer Sutherland got in a fight with your friend?"

    And I can say

    "which time and which friend?"

    I helped Matt Damon find his friend at my high school.

    Also slept over Susan Saint James's house.

    I've met a decent number of authors and politicians, but I don't think anyone outside of me counts them as famous. Or people.

    Might be putting in too much thought here...

    Oh, right, I gave Hillary Clinton a presentation on using computer software to rehabilitate people with head injuries. She seemed genuinely interested. I guess that's the mark of a great politician.

    Like, that's what made the 2008 democratic race so compelling -- it seemed like both obama and hillary wanted to win because they actually wanted to help the country. As opposed to romeny, who is all "It's MY TURN to be president!"

    Rip Torn got super drunk and broke into the local bank in my home town. He thought it was his house and he'd lost his keys, so he smashed a window, crawled in, and passed out in the lobby.

    I guess I have no direct connection to that story other than that I drove by on my way to work and was inconvenienced by the press, but it's too funny not to mention.

    I did once chase Danny Boyle up an escalator to tell him how awesome his movies are. He was nice.

    I really want Romney to say "it's my turn" during a debate

    But his programmers have probably removed that subroutine

    Do you ever just sit there and play with a UI for like 5 minutes.

    Like there is nothing going on in your head, your primitive monkey brain is just marveling at how buttons highlight and make little clicky sounds as you hover over them.

    When I was a kid I had a brief encounter with Adam Sandler, at a football stadium where they were filming The Waterboy, wherein he slapped me on the back and said something like "how's it going kid?"

    After he left I was asked: "do you know who that was?"
    "No, who?"
    "Adam Sandler!"
    And I said: "Who's Adam Sandler?"

    Okay, this is good. The kicks have a nice heft but it's balanced and restrained. The little high end beep pattern coming in and out is dancefloor biz.

    Muffled pitchy vocal stuff is always good.

    I've done this with a UI maker.

    First year: You have to place all the buttons manually using swing
    Second year: trolololol netbeans does it all for you

    Thanks! I really think this is release-worthy. Now I just gotta crank out another dancefloor track, an acid workout, and an ambient piece.

    I've also met Lev Yilmaz, the guy who does Tales of Mere Existence. He's not really a celebrity but anyway he was very nice and it turns out that unlike Gabe and Tycho he looks pretty much exactly like his cartoon avatar.

    I haven't met any international celebrities.
    I ended up dancing next to one of the Netherlands most famous authors (Giphart) at a concert once, rode the bus with the national grumpy historian (Maarten van Rossum) and gave a short welcome lecture to a crowd including nobel price winner Gerard 't Hooft.

    Also I grew up in a town very near to the tv studios, so a lot of tv presenters and such wandered around at times.

    Kevin Smith seems like a cool dude to hang out with. Same with Gerard Butler, but that may just because his friendship with Craig Ferguson definitely factors into his appearances on Craig's show.

    I'd love to meet Mila Kunis or Stephanie Beard some day.

    I haven't really met anyone like super famous. I met a bunch of pro-wrestlers though.

    Eddie Guerrero, Kevin Nash, Diamond Dallas Page, Sting, Macho Man, Jim Neidhart, Ric Flair, some other ones that slip my mind.

    Diamond Dallas Page and Ric Flair were SUPER nice guys. I interrupted Ric Flair during a pre-match workout at Gold's Gym and he gave me his autograph and was super cool.
