What famous people have N15 met? Feel free to post pics!

[ldubhawksfan]

Tim McGraw once when I was young after a concert. I think that's it.

You'd think more since, you know, I'm famous myself and living in Hollywood!

[yummeecookee]

Actually ldubhawksfan, I was hoping you'd out yourself!

[yummeecookee]

poof

[yummeecookee]

You know at first I read that as Tommy Lee bluebird44, so I was like "bad ass!" But TLJ is cool too

[littleredfish]

Dean Brody and Paul Brandt backstage last fall. Their road manager contacted our animal shelter when their concert tour came to our town to ask us to bring some of our dogs in for publicity for us and stress relief for their road crew. It was pretty cool.

[littleowl913]

Michael Bloomberg when he was mayor - pretty boring. DH has cooler ones - a young Mark Wahlberg, Ice Tea and Coco...

[fuzzylogic]

I met the mayor of our city. He is beloved by many and is a truly nice guy so that was cool.

I've also met several local news anchors and a meteorologist (same guy a couple of times for my news class). They were all super nice.

No major celebrities, though. But my mom sort of knew Rue McClanahan (Blanche from Golden Girls)!

[ashleymarie26]

Mine are boring, but both were very cool to me. I met Simple Plan at a meet and greet. At the time I was a major fangirl.

I also met Andrew Zimmern (Bizarre Foods). He is in recovery and awarded my brother a scholarship when he graduated a sober high school. That was cool. I'm still a big fan of his for many reasons.

My mom used to work with one of the guys from Boys2Men 's dad !

Other than that.. I got nothing.

[sunfrogger88]

I have a friend who's an actress in LA ! But not famous.. yet.

[colinsfebmommy]

I met Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead) when I was really young. Then I have met a few Chicago Bears/Chicago White Sox/Chicago Blackhawks players past and present.

[PonyGirl]

Wee Man from Jackass LOL

And Darryl Worley

[fuzzylogic]

Oh yeah, I met Thano Sefolosha when he still played for the Thunder. He's so tall!

[bunnyfer]

Richard Nixon, and I have met quite a few of the people from the TV show Survivor. I also have met quite a few proffesional wrestlers.

[younglove316]

ashleymarie26 I met Seb from Simple Plan, I was also a huge fangirl!

@mattsgirl2004 I really like Vince Vaughn but I've read that about him, boo!

[younglove316]

I've met a lot of baseball players

Also some country singers: Brantley Gilbert, Kip Moore, Rodney Atkins, The Band Perry are a few

And a few comedians: Sarah Colonna who was a regular on Chelsea Lately and Gary Valentine were my favorites

Oh and my brother worked security for a movie a few years ago and met Vince Vaugh. He said the guy is a big D-bag.

That's disappointing about Vince Vaughn. I think he's such a funny actor.

[rachaeleigh]

I really don't think that I have ANY connections to famous people!

My husband says he is super jealous that you got to meet Jerry. He got into the Grateful Dead when a family friend asked him to transfer several large boxes of cassette tapes from their concerts onto CD. He ended up doing a lot of research and getting way into jam bands like the Dead and Phish.

[melimo1315]

I've met some baseball and hockey players when I lived in Boston. Mostly Red Sox and Bruins players but I won a dinner with Jason Varitek ((Sox catcher) and Ray Borque (former Bruins)

I won a contest on a radio station and was the official photographer for an Uncle Kracker and Sugar Ray concert. I got to hang out with Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray which was amazing since I had a crush on him hahaha.

I also ate in the same vicinity as Mark Wahlberg in a restaurant once. He spent a summer filming a movie in my city about a prominent athlete and he was everywhere. I've met his brother who owns the burger joints because he literally still cooks at the original restaurant.

[mandie]

Ummmmm...

I used to hang out with a football player. And a former football player works out at the gym behind me most days.

But other than that, nada.

I've only met people in music... I met Good Charlotte at my local mall once. They were all shopping at seperate, random stores so it was before they were more famous. I've met the band Mest (does anyone even know who they are? lol) multiple times. I have also met Unwritten Law and Chester Bennington from Linkin Park.

I used to have the biggest crush on Chester, loved LP!!

Oh, I almost forgot! I also met Kyle Chandler, from Friday Night Lights. He is also very nice.

Squeee, Coach Taylor!

[kensie5226]

I met Dave Thomas founder of Wendy's.
I met some comedian who was on SNL after he overheard me saying his set was the funniest one I've ever seen. His name escapes me right now.
Jeff Daniels does a lot of stuff in my hometown and his son was on a hockey team playing against my HS BF.
Orlando Bloom walked by me in NYC.
I met Bryan Vander Ark from The Verve Pipe a bunch of times b/c he was popular in my hometown local music scene. (College bf was a bass player).
I met Neil DeGrasse Tyson after one of his speaking engagements. I nearly died of happiness.

ETA: the comedian was Finesse Mitchell. 

[sunfrogger88]

Oh. The band The Wonder Years.... I went to high school and was in marching band with them!

[firefly143]

Gabriel Iglesias and Kevin fowler(Texas country singer)
