i've decided to create another thread of this because the last one was made back in September.
So just name any famous people you've met, walked by seen in person, or heard speak.
For me I've met Jessie Jackson, I heard Dick Cheney speak over the summer in whyoming, I wlaked by Glen Plake at the 2001 X-games at Mt Snow, I wlaked by Allen Iverson in 2005 at the denver airport, Imet John henry(owner of the red sox). And i saw Tom Menino(mayor of Boston) on an airplane one time. Thats it for me, how about you?

Ive talked to Jonny Moseley a little and got his autograph... I hear he's kind of a dick though. I played hockey with Marian Gaborik of the MN Wild. And I've talked to P.O.S. and Sims a couple times (for any of you that are familiar with Minnesota hip-hop). I think there are a few more but I can't think of any right now.

The Ramseys (of the famous murder)  a bunch of US senators, none really famous except Huckabee and McCain, Dirk Kempthorne (who's in President Bush's Cabinet), John Mayer,
I guess the only skiing one would be John Symms, but I guess he was probably still in high school, it was a long time ago.

My uncle is Mark Metcalf, he was the mistro in sienfeld, appearing in 2 episodes, he was in the movie "the stupids", he was in buffy the vampire slayer, and he is Niedermayer in the movie "Animal House" which is awesome because he got to be in a movie with John Belushi and all of those guys.

Okay, Now for the packers
when I was sick with pneumonia, flu, strep, and staff all at the same time in 1st grade around christmas time, 2 news channels came to talk to me, and reggie white brought me an autographed pair of socks

I have had my picture taken with brett favre (my brother was golfing once and he and brett hit into the same sandtrap so he golfed a hole with him)

I met a ton of packers when I won an essay contest and got to bowl with them, I met antonio freeman, billy shroeder and some others.

I have met donald driver, and my mom and aunt took a shot with him at a halloween party.

and I have met robert brooks

I sat beside Peyton and Eli Manning at the Final Four in Indianapolis a couple years ago.

Pissed beside Eli at the same game.

Talked to Mike Brown (Coach of the Cavs) on the phone once when my ex girlfriend saw him at a grocery store.

A few others, just cant remember them.
