I've met a few people in the entertainment industry
I won't rehash the names I posted at BOM but some of the people I've met weren't in a fan/celebrity capacity. When I lived in LA, my roommate's sister was a Grammy winning 80's singer, so I ended up at a lot of random parties shooting the shit with famous people.
Also in LA, you'll be surprised who you'd run into at places like the movies or at the mall. Don't gush (Mavy's favorite word) when you meet someone famous or semi famous in a normal setting. If you act normal, you could end up making a friend. Or getting laid.
I dated a girl while I was in college who appeared on an ABC soap.
Most actors and the like who aren't ultra famous are pretty easy to date.
The most famous person I've ever met was Ted Turner in 1998 at a meeting in Atlanta. I worked with his daughter and yes, he's even crazier in person.

You leaning in makes it appear as though this isn't the first time you've met though. Have you spoken at other conferences? And I'm going to stand by the fact that somehow every picture I've seen of you has no sense of scale. Either you're sitting, or the camera angle, or no objects in the enrivonment to contrast you too, that coupled with everything you've done...I still think you look like you're over six feet tall...even in this picture. :razz: HAHAHA i know .... no sense of scale with Mike at all!!!
btw Mike, aare you guys refering to Harry being in a wheel chair? is it because of the operation or is it more ... umm .. permament?

We spent some of Friday night talking and some of Saturday and then this picture was taken just before a costume competition was held Saturday night. I look taller because he's sitting in his wheelchair and I am standing over him. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

No idea. I didn't ask. However, if I remember the convention brochure correctly, it said something about him being in an accident and not being able to get around and so he started his web site, so it seems permanent. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

And, I'll have everybody know that I met Willa Ford once. In terms of sheer star power it would be hard for anybody to top that! _________________

Tank from The Matrix did have sex on my sofa and left a spot.
I know, I know, not the same.

Man, I would have sooo put that couch up on Ebay.
"Tank Stain Couch" would have raked in the big bucks. I collect Matrix stuff, and I would have bid at least $20.
