I'm from Scotland, and have always been into Nirvana. I visited Seattle once; I got dropped off in the city, and there was Krist Novoselic, standing on the street corner.
I met an author I like twice actually. When I was like 13 and 14. It was a convention two years in a row (he's came there since but I don't need to see him every single lol. Twice is enough. I don't even read his stuff anymore). His name is Stuart Gibbs.
The closest to meeting a celebrity I've ever been was that Marcus Freeman, a former NFL tight end was the principal at the school I went to before moving to my current residence
Just remembered, I briefly met Michael Palin, the guy from Monty Python, and lots of travel shows, at a book signing on the South Bank in London back in about 2006.
Also met burt ward (1960s robin) at a convention once
And a few years after a church friend also won
And they got to meet the prime minister as a prize.
The other group got to see the Prime Minister speaking in I forgot if it was the senate or house or representatives
But no, my group didn't.
Not celebrities, but I also saw both my state senators and the representative.
Off the top of my head...
Niki Lauda in Vienna
Silvio Berlusconi in Milan
Chris de Burgh in Brussels
The Aga Khan in Paris
I also delivered to the Vatican but never met the Pope.
And missed Nelson Mandela in Pretoria by one day.
I just finished reading another yestertday...
I dont remember their names though
I also met Tyler Kolek (on the Knicks)
Also Andres Jasson and Justin Haak (plays for NYCFC)
You see a lot of people in NYC...
