At the airport:
Margaret Cho (Just like the Skankin' Pickle song)
Ed Asner (Technically I didn't meet him--he talked to the agent next to me.)
Peter Schickele (I saved his boarding pass for L2G.)
Jack Valenti
Claudia Christian (She was quiet and polite and just said "Let me know if there's anything I can do to get on this flight.")

Not at the airport
Jess Hartley (She made an appearance on campus, and I asked her some importunate personal questions.)
Dave Twardzik (My personal Joe Shlabotnik.)
Rich Dansky (He made an appearance at OryCon, and I asked him some importunate personal questions.)

And my rules about tagging are, if you ask me then I'll tag you.

I are famous!!!
Reads your description of our "chance encounter" and laughs.
Um... Didn't we like... have coffee or something after that?

And we had lunch in the quad, and we went to see Ice-T, and we went to the An Tir/West War, and there was an ice cream social, and a trip to Chang's....

Mmmmmmm.

Cool!

I'm not all about the tagging, but these were amusing:

I met Claudia Christian at Southern Pleasure Faire one year. She was nice, sexy as ever, and perfectly happy to let a friend and I take a picture with her in her Ren garb.

I met Ernest Borgnine standing outside the Fremont Theatre in San Luis Obispo, wearing a tux and shortly before he received an award at the film festival there.

When I was young, my second cousin Angel used to throw HUGE Fourth of July parties at her beachfront house in Capitola. She used to hobnob with some of the Hollywood glitterati of her generation, so I met (and used to sit on his lap!) Merv Griffin, as well Eva Gabor at those parties.

I met some really famous rapper guy about 10 years ago at a small restaurant on the way back from skiing in Vermont. I totally forget his name, and wouldn't have recognized him at all, but my girlfriend at the time recognized him. She asked him if we could take a picture with him, and he was very friendly and polite, saying, "Sure, after I have my dinner, if you don't mind?" (It happened that by the time she got up the courage to ask him for the picture, his food has just arrived!) She happily agreed, and *the moment* our food arrived, he jumped up from his table with a huge grin, and said, "Okay, how about that picture?" We laughed and took the picture, which I imagine she has somewhere. I still don't remember the guy's name, but I respect the hell out of his sense of humor.

Peter Schickele? Sweet!! Though I wouldn't feel right about it unless I could trade something to you, like a Gruesomes CD whenever I can find one.

My list of met people is something I've been keeping for a while at 43 People.

Enh, that's okay. It was years ago, and I've lost the boarding pass.
Besides, birthdays are for getting things when you aren't allowed to give things in return. q:
