And in turn, I wondered what famous people you've met... So go on.. share!
I'll kick it off:
Where: Einstein's bagels Provo, Ut
When: Summer 1997
What:Michael Stipe walked out as I walked in. After a few seconds, I realized who it was, went outside, shook his hand and said something stupid like "had to do it so I could say I did it". He seemed to be a nice enough guy.
I went back in to the bagel shop where my friends were waiting. When I told them what happened and what I had said, one of my friends with a great, dry sense of humor said "I would have asked him how to pronounce Eponymous"
