I just met Apnea

Metalbourne

So there's this alternative/fetish model named apnea that I've had a crush on for at least ten years.

I met her tonight and complimented her tattoo. Which I found out is just a cover up of a tattoo she didn't like. She was nice.

So who have you guys met?

FCD

I remember she had some really nice sets on SG, back in the day. Cool you got to meet her

i almost met MC Frontsalot once, but then decided against it. seeing as that very moment was also the moment i found out he existed.

Did she leave you breathless?

Do you lose sleep over her?

Mid 90s I went to a music festival, and afterwards a friend of a friend said "Hey, I've been invited to this party - want to come?", so I was like "Sure, let's go".

Got to the party and grabbed some drinks, and I nudged the guy who invited me and was like "Hey, that girl over there looks like the bassist from Smashing Pumpkins, and she's talking to a guy who looks like the lead singer of Soundgarden. And they've just been joined by someone who looks like the guitarist from Urge Overkill and HOLY SHIT I'M AT THE FESTIVAL AFTERPARTY FOR THE BANDS".

I was pretty freaked out by not wanting to be over fanboyish, but I did make some smalltalk with Billy Corgan over his choice of beer.

This won't mean anything to most of you, but 9-year old me was super excited when my uncle brought Doug Nussmeir and Yo Murphy to family Thanksgiving.

i met Joey Comeau at a book reading and he signed my copy of Overqualified and told me my name isn't girly and it is plenty manly and it was cute and he is so cute and im going to marry him

I met Dave Barry when he did a live show in Rochester awhile back, that was cool. I remember saying something sort of dumb (not in a bad way, just a nervous way) and him making joking about it that lightened the mood.

Rorshach Kringle

i met g.g. allin once

Metalbourne

So far the only celebrity I recognize in this thread is apnea

RubberAC

oh one time after a Deltron show i was walking to the afterparty venue and met him casually skating there, just, by himself. Chatted a little. Dude was not sober.

I've met a few congress critters also. Senator Slade Gorton, reps George Nethercutt and Cathy McMorris (she's the lady always standing behind John Boehner)

to be fair, i don't even recognize the one i mentioned.

John Ratzenberger once walked in on a voice recording session I was doing and made fun of my script, then asked to "use the can".

At another recording session, we were sharing part of the studio with James Franco. He also asked me where the bathroom was.

I met Patton Oswalt on the set of King of Queens, and he made fun of my name. We tried to meet Adam West on the same set, but he ignored us.

I was a background extra on an episode of House, and after we wrapped for the day I walked back to wardrobe a few paces behind House and Wilson.

On another shoot, Eliza Dushku almost hit me in the face coming through a door.

On another shoot, I ate lunch with Booger from Revenge of the Nerds.

I was standing in line waiting to buy an iphone and Elijah Wood was two people in front of me in line. He had a little pot belly, and he made eye contact and looked very angry.

Living in LA was pretty weird, now that I think about it.

Oh, and I went and saw Mitch Hedberg perform just a few months before he died, and got to talk with him briefly after the show.

I met Bruce Hornsby and Ricky Skaggs when I was a little kid and they both complimented me on my glasses (plastic frames with a red/green plaid pattern)

I met every member of KMFDM except for the chick when my ex and I went to a show of theirs and he made me hang out in the back alley in case there was a chance for signatures and then he was too anxious to talk to any of them so I had to get everyone's signatures on a ticket stub
I don't judge though because I have fastidiously avoided meeting they might be giants at every show of theirs I've been to because I'm terrified they'll turn out to not be perfect and awesome

I briefly met the guitar player for Mindless Self Indulgence when he came out into the crowd at a huge festival to try to pick up chicks

Donovan Puppyfucker

I shook hands with Heath Ledger once, just after Two Hands was released. Not at any premiere or anything, just walking down the street.

Pony

this thread is weird for me

i could mention people i've met at like, cons and stuff I guess?

i don't know if i wanna talk about people i've met while i was working, that's super gauche and unprofessional

I hung out a bunch with him at PAX Aus last year since I was Enforcing at Bandland (along with Freezepop, 8bit hero, Paul and Storm, Tripod) that was actually pretty cool. The guy is so friendly and engaging that it was impossible to feel at all starstruck around all these cool musicians.

I also met David Tennant while I was in London. Just happened upon some signing thing and got to chat with him briefly after it while getting coffees which was kinda neat.

I would be mighty disappointed if he didn't.

I've met a lot of people over the years, or rather, they've met me.

I'm not Russian to meet him. Though that being said, there'll come a time when I Moscow to visit.

When you put it that way, yeah it's kind of funny that I've met some heavyweights in the BDSM porn world, Like the crew and a bunch of models from serious images and even got to be bondaged by them. I've met the person who owns JG leathers and a couple people from mr. S. I've done a shit ton of background work, body piercing and just general wrangling for a lot of minor league stuff, and yet here I am losing my shit over apnea.

Next on the list: Masuimi Max and Kumimonster

Macro9

The ones I've met were never seen again

RoyceSraphim

The entire main cast of the West Wing got off a private jet as our civil air patrol squadron was preparing to go up in a cessna. I'm sure they all wanted the can and were as freaked out at these high schoolers in BDU's as we were at them.

We watched it pull up like all the other planes, and then when it opened up, someone said....."Is that Martin Sheen?"

He did the Nixon.

Bendery It Like Beckham

This one time I met Sean Penn

he shat on stage, fucked himself with a banana, and punched a girl out

i gave him a bunch of forties and he fell asleep mid-sentence

I went to a lot of Star Trek conventions when I was a kid, because I've pretty much always been a huge nerd.

Rorshach Kringle

i've met a lot of musicians

the lamest will forever be dimmu borgir

Joolander

Once I was visiting NYC and I literally bumped into Julia Styles

Barcardi

I met Steven Colbert back when he was on Strangers With Candy, it was in the frequent fliers suite of Northwest Airlines in Minnesota. I had barely registered who he was at the time because I didnt watch that show but I knew of it, but he seemed really nice.

Feriluce

I've met Lucy Lawless before she got famous through Xena. Obviously I didn't think it was a big deal at the time as she was pretty much known for commercials for a bank in NZ at the time. Also Daniel Bryan came into my workplace with Brie Bella while I was there, as I work in his home town.

WiseManTobes

I served Red Green coffee once, he was not in Flannel, it was weird.

Not once he stopped shaving! With a beard like that you can only be Red Green ( It's so weird to watch reruns of Smith and Smith when he's clean shaven)

During my parental leave earlier this year I shared a park bench with a former Bundestagspräsident. (that's like head of Congress) we both had a stroller with a sleeping baby in it. I assume his was a grandchild. I had actually met him once before when I was an intern in the Bundestag.

ASimPerson

I got to hang out with @Robert Khoo one time.

This song speaks to me. I've walked past a couple of local sports stars and even served a couple of them at work, seen a celebrity vet from a distance (from the back) at a shopping centre, and walked past a science show guy who was waiting in line at McDonalds.
