Hi I posted a list of quasi-celebs i met when working at Tower Records a few years ago. Here's a few others I've met outside of Tower:
Andy Partridge of XTC Fred Schneider of the B-52's Lyle Lovett John Waters Spaulding Grey Philip Glass Joan Baez Don't know if writers are celebrities (I guess Truman Capote was), but I have met a couple: Allen Ginsberg (actually had several short conversations with him over a period of a few years. Once I was in the audience at one of his readings, when he walked in from the rear of the auditorium, he saw me and stopped to chat for a minute before going onstage to read. Margaret Atwood Gary Snyder I shook John Irving's hand once, but it really wasn't much of a meeting. I've also met a few well-known artists, mostly when I was in graduate school. The one who made the most impact was Lorna Simpson, who was very nice, and actually semed to enjoy hanging out with a bunch of grad students talking about art. nothing too exciting, but I tend not to get worked up over celebrities anyways. Far as I'm concerned, they're just people doing their jobs like anyone else. NEW from Yahoo! GeoCities - quick and easy web site hosting, just $8.95/month. http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/info1
