I served Gary Numan a burger at work the other day.

Mute Math rules! That's a cool story.

when i sold computers Chilli from TLC came in and purchased from me three times.

The first time most of the staff was crazy over her, but they didn't know Apple so they couldn't help her. I pretended she was just a regular hottie and didn't get all in her business like some of the other guys. She came back on two other occasions and looked for me in particular, she always bought Mac and was always cheap about it. She was fine every time...

I sat next to Roland Gift from Fine Young Cannibals in an art gallery ten years ago.

To make this even more winningly shit, I didn't even realise. I was told afterwards by the friend I'd gone with.

When I was working in EB I used to sell games to the guitarist out of gomez. saw him out on the town one night and he bought me a drink and invited me to drink with his band which was kinda cool. Really nice guys. I also served wayne Rouney when i was working in tesco. I dont get star struck at least not over guys in bands and foot ball players.

Not sure if this counts, but had backstage to Lollapalooza 2 years ago, so I met quite a few people to say the least. Got to be on stage for Flaming Lips. I was standing next to Bob Ezrin, who produced Pink Floyd The Wall and numerous other records, and Janet Weiss, killer drummer from Sleater-Kinney. I'm also friends with the guitarist from Porno for Pyros, remember them? So that's how I got the hookup backstage since Perry Farrell was in Porno for Pyros. Got to meet him numerous times as well. Kind of different since I met all these people in a concert setting rather than just out walking about.

Hugged Peter Christopherson, laughed in the face of John Romero, and had my hand kissed by David Tibet (apparently, that's his way of showing gratitude). Nothing really noteworthy except that.

I walked into scott mcneil when i was at metrocon and said "oh snap it's rattrap!" I got a small laugh out of him. later on he wished my friend a happy birthday in the voice he does for that one eyed yellow thing on monster rancher, it's name is swayzo or something. My friend replied with "thanks, watch out for the fatties."

That night i got to go eat at dennys with a bunch of friends and johnny yong bosch and his band. Not that much of fan but he's a cool guy.

I got pictures with both of them throwing the shocker, jawsome

let's see. I've met Howard Jones from Killswitch Engage, and he's pretty much the man.

My friend smoked a blunt with Anthony Green once.

And I have yet to do this, but If I ever meet Claudio Sanchez, my life is complete.

It would count more than anything with Kurt Harland. I love Information Society, but watching that man's attitude and demeanor towards his band over the years really hurts my positive view towards him. He even seemed like a prick in concert, while Paul Robb and James Cassidy expressed much more humility.

That's awesome, I used to be a fond fan of Gomez in the past and I've been meaning to catch a live show one day but boy, this story makes me envious.
