Have you seen celebrities in person?

I almost got to see Jerry Seinfeld perform live, my mom and I were planning on getting tickets and attending his show when he came to our town last summer, but sadly that same weekend, my mom got sick and we couldn't go.

I merged the two celebrity meetings threads. Before posting a new thread, try to look through and see if there is already a thread on the topic.

Thanks!

For me the biggest most recent thrill of my life was taking my mother to the theater(live) to see Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden perform a comedy show. And even though Bill Oddie was unable to come to Australia with them they had him projected on a video screen and they choreographed their speech perfectly to look like they were actually conversing with him when he was on screen. When he wasn't on they sometimes had scenes from their "Goodies" television series that I grew up watching.

It was a wonderful experience in fact I think it probably inspired me to write my first TMS outline featuring Mr.Tim Brooke-Taylor as special guest star

If anyone knows who Bowzer from Sha Na Na is, I've met him(he's not w/SNN anymore but he's with "Bowzer's Rock N Roll Party") & gotten a couple of autographs . I saw him in concert in 2003 & talked to him. When I saw him again in concert last year,I talked to him & he said he remembered me!

I've gotten to see a lot of celebrities at Star Trek and Beatle conventions, though I've usually had bad luck talking to them!

However, Ben Stein did come to my school recently and make a speech about starting out in the work force (among other things). He was very funny and he signed my book for me writing, "Be focused!"

My mom and dad saw John Denver in a concert. I'm hoping to see Caroll Spinney in November.
