Have you ever run across a famous person? I always hear others talking about star sightings they've had, but it never seems to happen to me. And with good reason...I don't expect to ever meet anybody I know, so I'm never really taking stock of those around me. I have had a couple of incidents, which I will now relate (in chronological order):
1. Billy Barty - This one I'm not even really sure about. I remember meeting a dwarf when I was a kid, and I think it was this guy.
2. Spider Man - Also as a kid. We went to the mall in Seattle where Spider Man was appearing at the local Nordstroms to sign autographed posters and take pictures. I was mega-excited, and I asked him some silly question, like does he sleep in a web-hammock. He was really nice but I think I got scared and wanted to leave really suddenly.
3. Dennis Rodman/Carmen Electra - I was at a casino in Vegas during a college weekend getaway and everybody was moving to the side to let someone through, and it happened to be these two. Rodman had the leopard-print hairdo at the time and everybody was whispering his name. I'm glad they did or I wouldn't have recognized them.
4. Matt Damon/Bob Vila/Barbara Bush - These three supposedly shopped at the store I worked at in Boston, but I never saw any of them. Well, I saw the lady that was supposedly Barbara Bush, but I thought it was just some Grandma. Bob Vila bought a pan scrubber, and Matt Damon was eating lunch around the corner from the store. I walked along the sidewalk and saw some guy in a baseball hat, so I like to believe it was him.
That's pretty much it. My goal for 2008 is going to be to look for more famous people.

Yes it was Billy Barty, I had
forgotten. I was putting on the
show for peace officers and he was part of the performance. Got to introduce him to Robert also.

Checking out the Marriott Residence in so we can help cook for Thanksgiving. Love You ms
I met Daisy Duke, (forget her name) At the Eastern States expo one year.
I met Jim Stafford at Cypress Gardens In Florida before he co hosted Those Amazing Animals. I had no clue who he was back then. I met Nancy Reagan at some drug free thing in high school.
My little brother talked to a couple of members of Aerosmith.
Seems to me that there was someone else at some point but I can't think of who right now.
My goal for 2008 is to look more like a famous person...
